Default Headrest Monitors!

Just got the first set of Vizualogic headrest monitors. I test fitted the headrests/monitors in the middle row headrests (too excited to wait) and compared the leather. These babies match up pretty well. The beauty is that if I ever have to take them out, I still have the OEM headrests in oerfect condition. Here is a pic of the entire VL9000 Vehicle Specific Kit. This particular kit comes with two headrests which match the OEM leather with 7" monitors installed, two A/V control modules with dual source video inputs, one remote control with batteries, one 3 channel RF transmitter (dual output for Vizualogic wireless headphones which are included), and one FM modulator. The install will be complete this Saturday 7/5. Stay tuned...

This is a pic of the entire kit. Note: the headrests in this pic are the OEM.

Here is a pic of the front of the headrests. Leather matches up very well.

Here they are test fitted in the middle row seats. They still have the protective plastic on them.

Johnny,

This particular kit retails for $1399.99. Yea, I'm doing the install @ the shop I just opened with a couple of associates/enthusiasts. I'll keep you posted. I'll definitely have the DIY pics.

GILL,

Haven't had the time to wire them up yet, but they are "installed" (hehe since they are a direct replacement.) Will keep you informed. Should be this Saturday 4 sure!

MAC,


I really like how the Vizualogic monitors look, nice and clean look. I like the no frills look of not having a lot of buttons and lights on the outer trim. After your all hooked up, let us know if you get an buzz or interference thru your RF wireless head phones. An installer here advised to get the infra red wireless head phones because of interference.

Cool Finally installed!

They are finally in. I added two more just for the hell of it. I am very pleased with these monitors. No problems at all. Here are some pics.

as they are individually controlled, none, one, two, three or all four can be on at once. Here is a shot with just two headrests and the center monitor on.

Kash,

We tapped into the OEM source for video and audio and added one video signal booster to each pair of monitors.
