Well I finally had a chance to install my new headrest monitors. This is the Advent HR7012MM. I was able to find an awesome deal on these and paid way less than retail. I am currently installing a WD TV Live in my truck to use as my player as I have a mobile hotspot in my truck already with my in dash iPad. Here are the monitors installed. Will update once I finish my install on the media player. Factory matched headrest monitors installed-headrest.jpg

Very cool! I wanted those but couldn't stomach the price. So for about $400 and a $15 holder my kid uses an iPad - which he can then bring inside to use. Hope everything works out for you!

Thanks!! Yea I couldn't stomach the price either. I was able to find the whole kit on eBay from a seller brand new just not the right headrests for $375 and then I contacted a dealer because you can buy the headrest shells by themselves, I was able to get them for $225. So for $600 I got the whole set which it normally runs over $1200. Thought I got a pretty good deal!

Do you have apart number for the headrests? I already have the players, just need headrests.
Thanks!

What year/model is your F150? What interior color and leather or cloth. I will look up part number and give you the contact of who I ordered them through.

2011SuperCrew, looks great! Love how clean that looks! After our discussion, I decided against getting this style. Since I have the active headrest and wanted to keep the ability to tilt my headrest forward, I chose a pair of these:

I also plan to run a WD TV Live I've been using it for our football tailgating for years and it's a great travel media player.

I may eventually upgrade to one of the android versions floating around, something like this:
Amazon.com: 1080P HD USB HDMI SD/MMC Multi TV Media Player RMVB MKV: Electronics Amazon.com: 1080P HD USB HDMI SD/MMC Multi TV Media Player RMVB MKV: Electronics

if these weren't so expensive, I would love to get a set of Vizualogic's SmartLogic....http://www.vizualogic.com/products/s...e-dvd-kit.html
