Rear Seat Entertainment?

I may feel like a douche for asking, but is it pratical to put in a rear seat entertainment package in a Mercedes C350? I ask because my friends and I typically drive out to the mountains and it takes a while to get there from here. I don't know if things would get cramped or if it's a complete waste of money? Im not too familiar with the package, is there a way to hook up a nintendo wii to the LCD screens in the head rests?

Let them enjoy the scenery or play their DS... I usually think of rear seat entertainment as a way to keep the kiddies quiet.

I don't think there is a OE rear seat entertainment package available. If you're referring to aftermarket units, they are (well the ones I've seen) rather bulky and IMO the back seats are already rather cramped. That said, the ones I've seen have had an AUX input of some sort, usually just the crappy composite input but it would work (oh wait you said Wii so you're used to lousy graphics :P)

Maybe get the MM system and add a VIM module then they can play on the popup screen. As long as you're not easily distracted that is...

I think I saw a video on youtube that showed a PS3 or 360 running in the car on the main display.

^ thats pretty sick. id so go for it, but living in Canada I know its either gonna be either unavailable or really expensive.

that's a genius idea though.. no satellite dish needed.

EDIT indeed unavailable in Canada however just like grey market satellite dishes here, there are after market solutions. Sirius SCV-1 ... i hope it doesnt void the warranty.

Those tails are sick, I want! Ideally I'd like the ones off the Brabus Bullit but those might do. I like the laser jammer in the front too.
