Nick, Amen! then only issue I really discovered with that approach was implementing the mesh for the seat fat that is on that panel. I have a few ideas for that, but to be honest most people complain about $2400 for a dual DVD headrest system from vizualogic. They have a $150k vehicle and wants video but a 3 year warrantied, never breaks, looks factory monitor is a issue...

If you are referring to the quotation: "These new headrests are the equivelent size of the factory headrest in that safe mode."

What that means is:

{new headrest size} = {factory size(in pre-safe mode)}

Agian I could care less about that BS safety feature. The problem is the plaintiffs attorneys will love that we defeated the oh so important life saving safety feature that Mercedes includes as a standard feature to prevent just this sort of severe back and neck trauma that my client has suffered.

as the magistrate, the jury and both parties are instructed from here on out to reference the active headrest restraint as "the squishy"
