Can do you remove the headrest on a w221. I am thinking of getting new headrest monitors.

Thanks

I forgot to mention I have active headrests. Will pulling them off mess up the internals motors etc?

Thanks chris. It was a so easy afterthe two screws. Chris quick question:

How can you bypass the headrest error? When I unplug the headrest I get an error on the dash.

I picked up a pair of xtrons headrest monitors but I cannot replace with thwir cushions. I have to use the extra monitor adapter.

Thanks

rule of thumb, when it's motorized, more than likely it's more than "just pull"
