head rest monitors

[blingsta]

Guys, for anyone with the know how, i have a pioneer in dash motorized moniter and want to put some monitors in the headrests.... my question is, is it just a matter of buying the monitors and plug them up to my pioneer, or are there more bits n bobs required?? advice pls

[incarsolutions]

they will just plug into the video out rca connecor and be fed an ignition live and earth, poss need to switch on the rear video out on the unit tho

[blingsta]

cool, cheers my man... got a bit confused as ive seen a few monitors for sale that come with these big square box's too, but you def say the monitors with correct wires to power them up is ok???

[incarsolutions]

depends if you get a kit which should have an av splitter box which basically splits the video signal from the stereo to both screens

[blingsta]

ok, so lets say it doest come with a splitter box? how much does one of those babies cost... is that all i would need? thanx for your advice matey

[incarsolutions]

if you dont get the box you only need a set of rca splitter leads

[blingsta]

excellent... i really appreciate your help mate... just seen 2 on ebay 7", brand new for £75, i think i will buy them now youve answered my questions,, cheers my man... just 1 more for ya, do i need a power invertor as ive seen loads advertised with this, or will my head unit just power them up?

[incarsolutions]

any screen made for the car should be 12v so ignition live will be fine

[blingsta]

just bought them.... cheers for all your answers mate.... you can fit for me if your close to Enfield? i take it from your name that you deal with systems etc?

i'm in dartford and yeah i own a stereo shop in bexleyheath

[blingsta]

how much would you charge to fit these 2 monitors for me then?

[incarsolutions]

i done a lexus for a friend last week and we charged £120 for the lot bearing in mind its usually £80 per screen just to fit in the headrest. it would take the best part of a day to do properly too

[blingsta]

ok, sounds reasonable... can i have your number pls

got 1 done today mate, both monitor frames were beige, so i decided to spray them black before fitting, the spray melted the buttons on 1 of monitors. .. but still not bad, managed to cut leather and take out foam from 1 headrest and made it fit perfectly... starting the other 1 now.. pics to follow

[kam325itouring]
