the 6.5" is too big i believe. i have 7" and they wouldn't fit with out the headrest being reshaped. instead i mounted mine in the rear windows and hatch.

I'm pretty sure the 6.5" are fine. If I recall correctly someone had them in their xB.. about four of'em. =] just don't remember who.

I have a 7.5 inch monitor in each headrest. Audiovox offers them in a package now with a 7.5 in each headrest and the driverside has a dvd in it. Pretty slick set up. They're the same exact system the demo car has, the one with 36 screens. Actually a pretty simple install, didn't take long at all.

I have the JVC 6.5" widescreen monitors. the front headrests are a little smaller then the rears, the monitor mount would of hung over the curving sides of the headrests and looked bad. I just swapped front and rear headrests. the headrest posts are a little off but nothing you can't get around.
I don't know about everyone else but I like the rear headrests better for the front seats, they don't push forward as much as the front headrests did. try it. :D

i probably could have eliminated the bulging upper corners if i went into the seam area but i was afraid of splitting it and totally ruining the headrest
