Default Installing 7" headrest LCD on 09 GS450h w/ML

I am planning to install 2 x 7" alpine headrest screens on my GS. The only problem is how can I get the signal from the dvd player that sends the video signal to my stock screen? I just need to split that video output from the dvd player or do I need a module of some sort? If I need a module, where can I get it? Thanks.

Subscribed for details. I just picked up a 98 GS400 that already has 2 TV's in the headrests, and a DVD Player, with the factory Nav/Touchscreen indash. There is a toggle switch installed, and when I flip the toggle switch, the factory Nav screen is over-ridden and the DVD player displays. I know that there is an Alpine TV tuner under the passenger seat, and the DVD player is hooked up through that.. so I know they are using that unit as a connection hub. I cant seem to get the audio from the DVD player to play over the factory system, however. Not sure why, guess it would help if I knew how it was run!

Well I did they bypass myself. I just need to know where I can pull the signal of the dvd feed from the stock dvd changer. Thanks.

bump.

wondering if this is possible. can the video signal from the dvd player to the nav screen on a ml equipped car be tapped? would be great to use the factory dvd player as the video source for some headrest monitors.

has anyone done this?

I'm researching a new build for my 2GS, including multiple screens, and came across this - most likely something I will order. I have not tried it so I can't attest to its quality:
