Post delivery DVD options?
I am in the process of ordering an S63... and I would like to add a pair of DVD screens for the rear VIP's... (My kids)
Looking through some threads I can see there appear to be two types available. One seems to be in a kind of unit immediately behind the front seat head restraint. I also believe there is another type that goes into the head restraint itself, but at the price of deactivating it from the Pre-Safe system. (Not sure if there is a warranty implication here)
I wondered if anyone has installed DVD screens for the rear passengers, how they are integrated in to the audio system, the cost etc...
In particular if anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area can recommend someone in the area who does this I would certainly appreciate it!
Many thanks
Chris

So one gets rear-ended....active head restraints don't seem to work as well as advertised...have whiplash/neck injury....now one can consider litigating vs: MB, Joe's/Hans' aftermkt shop (they claimed those RSE units add 20hp easy; and they have a special for ECU/exhaust work...50hp more for $50 this mth....and the warranty won't be affected
), various ER physicians and neurosurgeons, and rear-seat passengers, etc etc.....

How did anyone in a honda ever walk away because they didn't have headrest restraint (which isn't a restraint) during an accident? You kill me, I think the option is stupid... I tried numerous times to sell myself on it... even tested it several times... (activate it with a 9volt, reset it with a pick tool) my head is still 10-12" away from it.... the MB video on it doesn't show the seat back slamming fwd to meet your back, but it shows the whole 4" the headrest extends...
Anyways to get back on topic, before MB comes out with some special air freshener that will make the leather breathe better and wsh be all over that...
I wish you were more in my area, did it many of times, won't say how on here, because it is my way, my R&D and till i am compensated for it, it is my own
It does not need to go to the dealer for deprogramming either.But once you get the headrests installed, NAVTV makes a part to get video up front, if you have the rear camera even better, if you don't... well you can add it also... w221cam is the P/N
