    To remove the headrest, raise them to the very highest point. Then about 6 inches or so down from the top of the seat, there is a button that is hidden behind the upholstery. It is on the left-middle side of the seat directly below the left headrest metal tube. Press this button in and then raise the headrest by hand. You will have to run the wires somehow, but I'm not really experienced in it. Normally, wires are run down one of the headrest tubes, but I don't know if the stock headrests have hollow tubes.

    Please keep me/us updated on this project, because I plan to do this eventually, and I would rather not spend the money on the prefabricated headrests with monitors built in.

    i just put mine in today

    i got a little larger polished aluminum tubing from the local store and put my headrest pole in the middle of that. i ran the wires from inside the headrest down the new tube and into the top of the seat where i took the back of the seat off. ran the wirining down the back of the seat and out of the bottom into the first aid kit where i have my dvd player mounted. but that is just the way i did it. hope this helps

    another easy way to go would be to get saav headrests. Then all that remains would be to run the wires. And you'll need a secure torx screwdriver to open up the seat backs (can't remember what size)
    If you can thread the needle... and if your drive can lead to Pole Position today, history may hold a place for you tomorrow.

    search. think. do. post.
