The first thing you need to decide is what you want to use it for, how you want it to look etc.

 

Ready Made Units

There are a wide variety of units available on the internet, offering touch or non touch screen, 7" or 9", most offer USB, SD, DVD and even games included.

 

 

Pro's

• Quick and easy to install
• All contained in one unit
• Each monitor is independant of the other
• can be linked up

Con's

• Unless your lucky or have a black interior, the colours will never quite match unless you spray the covers
• The bars are quite short, you need to add some modification to ensure it doesnt move or rattle.
• In my opinion they dont sit quite right in the A8, though adding slightly bent extensions to the bars may help.

OEM Style

 

generally these are monitors only, a seperate device would be required to display anything, you would need to install them in to your OEM headrests.

 

Pro's

• A lot more OEM style, using original headrests

 

Cons

• need seperate units for displaying video
• more wiring

 

Things to look for

Dependant on what your requirement is the - main things to keep in mind are

 

how many inputs are there

If you are having more than one input device then you need 2 AV ins. Be careful that on some monitors the second AV in is video only.

 

What size is it

Measure your headrest, make sure it fits, but also, we will be installing in headrests that were not meant to take monitors, the thinner the better.

 

Does it have a mounting plate

You will need to be sure you can attach it properly to the headrests, a mounting plate also ensures that you cover the parts of the leaher you had to cut

 

OEM Rear Seat Entertainment

for the most part the standard RSE options were for monitors installed in different headrests to the standard ones, and a DVD player in the boot area, also in the package comes a remote control device and headphone sockets adjacent to the cigar lighter in the rear cabin.
