Headrest or flip down?

[504zo]

I'm in the process of doing some upgrades to my interior but i ran into a roadblock. I can't decide what would look best headrest monitors or a flipdown monitor. I will be changing my headliner to black suede and I also have the bucket seats for my second row. Which one do yall think will look best?

ummmm....BOTH!

Honestly I say it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you're going for the showoff effect (windows down, or low tint so everyone can see that you have a video system) I go headrests. If you're doing it for kids or for the occasional use, I say go flipdown.

I didn't go with a flip-down because I like to use my rear view mirror AND see out the back... something to keep in mind.

I would go with headrest monitors but then that would make me want a flipdown too lol

x2.

Also, I didn't want to mess with the headliner. Headrest install seemed easier, and both headrests can play a different DVD/video feed from head unit.

A friend of mine has a big flip down and hates it because he can't see out his rear view.

so.. head rests

I was really leaning towards the headrest, but thanks to the comments i'm really going with it now. If I change my mind I can always add the flipdown later.

I plan on adding headrest monitors in the next week or so. I think it looks cleaner and the kids will each have their own monitor and for me that's a plus.

It sounds like Headrests are the way to go, but which ones? I just got an 08 Hybrid Tahoe and looking to add dual headrests?

There are many to choose from! Which ones did you guys go with?

I have a set from Vizualogic and they're just ok. Install was fine, but the build quality isn't great and the picture isn't that impressive, granted they're pushing 5 years old now. From what I remember, at the time the Vizualogic set was the best match for my light cashmere interior.

There are basically 3 options.

1) Go with a set of just monitors (~$400+). Which are good enough if you have a DVD receiver in your head unit and don't mind watching Dora up front if that's what your kids want...

2) Get a pair with 1 attached DVD player (often separate for underseat mounting or built into ONE of the headrests). This is good if you only want to display a single DVD feed on both monitors

3) Get a setup that with DVD players built into each of the monitors(~$1500). This is what I have, and it's nice, but not really necessary.

In my setup each headrest has 3 inputs. (1) It's own, built in, DVD player. (2) The other headrest's built in DVD player, or (3) an aux input mounted in the back of the center console.

You'll also need the wireless headsets, which don't always come with the package.

Headrest DVD/Monitor

I've spent a couple weeks looking. All the shops in this area suggest Rosen, they do a factory match to your upolstrey. Check them out on You Tube. I just ordered them for my 2010 LT.
