I have, and I am very satisfied. Are you willing to loose the active restraint system in your headrest ? Click on the link in my signature to see pics.
I paid $1200 for the TV's in the headrest and additional $300 for DVD changer with a remote eye mounted in the ashe tray.

I did these in my CLS55. I had the dealer install them. They turned out great.

This is a pic of my TV's. The monitor is held by a custom fiberglass cover. Notice the fiberglass work around the buttons. It was painted white to show off the quality and detail.

You can also check out the Savv replacement headrests. They use OEM material and the monitors are already installed. The best part about them is that you don't have to tear into your stock headrests. I went with a DVD player in the glove compartment and 2 Savv 7" headrests w/ monitors.

looks good mike. I'm going to try to use a different power source for the navtv this weekend. I will let you know if it makes a difference with the engine static.
