Been a while since posting last, Thought id share my hard work installing headrest screens in my C36.

was toying with the idea for ages and i finally did it! bought some BN s-class headrests cheap on fleabay, bought some Alpine TME-M780 screens, and hacked away for a few weekends. enjoy!

not bad for a rookie. i do that for a living. well that and other things . i m a installer for 13 years and head rest can be a nightmare depending on the car. i did noticed your left headrest monitor was just a little higher then the right but hey like you said first time for it good job.

Looks good. I really like the cover for when the screens are not in use. They will not attract thieves as much. Nice work. How much did it run?

think so, the spare headrests were from a s-class.

only put them in to keep my little girl occupied on long journeys :)

I added a Pyle drop down 9.5 and took out the cassette holder to install the Pyle DVD player

I also added a Pioneer 6 disc to the trunk and Sirius radio

you still use that rf changer still? your deck will run a changer , thats if you can find them . a alpine changer would sound so much better then rf IMO
also i see you also run that sat radio rf too . i think you need to step up in the new generation. ;)

You're right, the sound quality isn't the same but I have what I need
