Installations

1) Has anyone installed the Rear Seat Entertainment System for their car? The OEM one with the squarish monitors?

2) Is it possible to install rear heated seats? And has anyone attempted to do this or has done it?

3) Has anyone installed the Illuminated Door Sills on their truck? How long does it take to do and is it possible?

Thanks so much,

Bob

I have the factory installed sills and love them. Option I think was $600 so dealer installed is probably close to $1000.

Thanks

I think I'll call my dealer and ask them how much they would cost and see if they can give me a quote on the sills for the doors.

For the Rear Entertainment - I've installed the Vizualogic ones which essentially look the same, but are better since they have individual DVDs in each screen. So you can have one drive the other screen, or have two seperate things going on with wireless headsets. I connected the sound to the factory stereo by using the AASS connector which gives you the ability to connect up an ipod or an aux input into the factory stereo.

Can you send me the link to the vizualogic ones. I cant seem to find them. And how long did it take you to install them? Are there any loose wires?

Info on the AASS connector would be greatly appreciated!
