Default DVD Headrest > Run power wire thru seat back?

Does anyone know if the back of the passenger seat is removable?
I want to run the cable for the headrest DVD player thru the seat but can’t see where/how to snake the cable thru the seat.

Thoughts?

Yes it does come off. You know of the 2 stupid screws facing down to the floor at the bottom of the back plating that are hard to see? IIRC, thats all you have to unscrew to remove the backing. Yes what you want to do can be done, I've done it.

Thanks. Got the back off but your right those two screws are a pain to remove because you basically can’t see them. They’re kinda tucked up inside. And putting them back in was worse, just a simple screw but again you can’t really see it.

I think it might have been faster to just unbolt the entire seat. At least then you could flip it over and see them two screws.
oh well...
