Here's the house I sold to purchase the car! LOL

They told me to park between the lines, but I didn't know they meant parallel!

The remote eye for the wireless headphones is located where the rear center ashtray used to be. The ashtray was removed and a piece of smoked Lexan is in its place. I hope to post pictures of this at a later date.

These pictures were taken on a partly sunny day because in full sun, the car almost looks white. I plan on getting some better shots soon.

Default LOVE those LCD Headrests. How much of a hassle to put in ??

The headrests are gorgeous. Are they hooked to a DVD player somewhere in the car ??

Who did the work ?

Phenomenal job !!!

Doc, the DVD player is located in the rear center armrest. It fits perfectly. Forward of that, there is the smaller compartment where I stow the DVDs held down by velcro(wonderful velcro). The handheld remote piece, also with velcro on its back, stows there also. The only pieces that are presenting the old "hmmm" are the remote headsets. For now, they are in the trunk until I can figure something out. "Tweeter", which is the former Bryn Mawr Stereo outfit here in Philly, did the install sans the headrest work which was done by a local upholstery shop. Even with the cars stereo on at a good level, the headsets work perfectly. My installer surprised me the other day and said that he took picures of the installation so I am going to get him a disc and we`ll upload them soon(Paul and Randy, are you listening!!!). Now If I can figure out how to "wake up" the TV tuner and tie it in. But thats after connecting the Navi to the rear screens(doubtful)!

Greenie--awesome! I suppose now that you sold your house in the picture and you have video screens in your car and the back seat is huge, you can live temporarily in your car while you look for another house!!! LOL!!! Thanks for putting your pictures on the forum. My car should be here this week (I hope) Jeff
