where can you pick these tv's up? wouldn't mind some rear ones

[Snypa-D]

Have a look on .......... http://www.chinavasion.com its where I got all mine :)

[J4M3S]

only got the one can't watch three at once so didn't see the point of more lol

[Snypa-D]

.....my daughter and her mates in the back ;) SORTED :)

[Ayrton]

cheers pal, yeah mine are going to be in the back aswell, cant wait for payday now haha!

[Snypa-D]

If you get them from the place I linked just be aware that when the UPS man brings them you will get asked to pay import tax before handing them over. Also if they go wrong (mine havent in over 2 years,altho my head unit did) its pricey to send them back for warranty repair.

[Ayrton]

thats a bit of a pig then...can you get them put into the back of the headrests then?

[Snypa-D]

The ones I bought already come IN the headrests,so just had to wire them up :)

check this page out.......... http://www.chinavasion.com/search?q=dvd+headrests&Submit=GO :)

[Ayrton]

that is awsome! bet theres a fair bit of wiring to do, need to save some cash for those bad boys

[Snypa-D]

The wiring is pretty easy TBH,just depends on how you want them to run,I can play each headrest on its own seperately or I can play a dvd on my head unit and show it on all 3 screens, :)

[Ayrton]

thats not a bad idea to have them all go on the same programme. stops the kids arguin who wants to watch that lol
