TV Headrest

I have a four year old son and was thinking about installing some TV's in the headrest. I seen this site below and would like some people's input. Let me know what you think. It's a direct replacement.

Has anyone installed any in thier CLK?

In 8 years of ownership, I can count on one hand the number of times I've had rear seat passengers.

Digital TV is still a work in process.

Even if near the antenna farm, dynamic multi-path (e.g. reception of additional delayed signals after bouncing off terrain, buildings, trucks etc.) is not handled well by current DTV reception technology.

A portable DVD player would be far better and much cheaper (less than $100).

Pay attention Chappy - your little one will want this soon!

I suppose that Steve at MBenzNL might do this - or maybe not since MB never proposed this as an option for our CLKs. A good hifi shop should be able to adapt screens into the headrests - but it won't come cheap. More practical perhaps would be a single DVD screen mounted at the rear of the center console.

I have DVD in my car but it is piped into the factory COMAND screen up fornt - no need for more. No kids in my family and rear seat riders are rare.
