what's the largest size monitor that can be fit into the headrest of an xa? also, how do you guys feel about roof mount monitors in an xa? i like them but since the car is small i thought it might look a little goofy. let me know and thanks.

 

well ive got 7" screens in my xb there a lil to big but i got them to fit. i would say 6" woulda been great! but i dont no is xa is the same size? it proble is.

 

so.... if i wanted to inset monitors into some fiberglass, all i need is the ones that are sold as headrest monitors right?

what are decent ones for ~$200 apiece? size should be 6"-7"

 

i was thinking 6 would be good. don't know if xa and xb headrests are the same.

 

i've got 5.8"s in mine, and they are just about as big as i can imagine.

hey cherrybox, any chance you can post up a pic of your monitors? i think 6' is the smallest i'll accept, but i seriously wonder if 7 can be done and if it'll look ok since i can get them for a steal. also, what brands are you guys using? i'll probably go with some cheapy ebay screens since i'll rarely ever use them.

 

wow! that www.gooddeals18.com DOES have good deals, haha.. it has a 6.5 double din screen for only $285.00 thats a steal.. lol i could buy that baby and mold it into the dash.. would look nice with a few extra $

 

wow a 7" screen for 88.90 pretty awesome as well, haha i think im going to try and fit the 7" in my headrest..

 

I did 7" in my headrests and they turned out great!, I do have the leather package and it makes the headrest a little bigger.

It was just over $200 for both (7" tft )

I also took the rear headrests and put them in the front and the front in the back, (the back are a little bigger. Any way here they are:

 

Awesome B you got there.. how much did you pay to make your interior leather? I was thinking about doing this, but than im also thinking on getting like Sparco seats.. and making those leather and getting 4 to make the back into bucket separated seats... love the monitors.. btw.. how did you get the front headrests to fit in the rear? i tried that and the front rail things r to wide to make it into the small ones.. and also.. the ones u ordered with the screens in them.. whered u get em? and did they fit perfectly into the existing stock xB holes?? thanks for the info

 

The leather was a dealer option, I think it was around $1800.

I put the screens in myself, those are the headrests from the rear, if you squeeze the rails a bit they will fit into the front and samw with the rear you just have to pull them apart a bit. They fit really tight, but that is fine with me, it keeps the kids from moving them around.

 

looks really good dugzilla. i dont think my headrests are as big as yours though, so i think 7' screens are out of the question. i guess it'll have to be 6 for me.

 

I don't think that they would have worked without the leather either, at least not without looking like crap.

 

well, in an amazing batch of luck, i got 2 7.2' monitors for 75 bucks from a tech at the dealership i work at who bought them for his camry and never used them. i'm super lucky, i just hope they fit!

i'll have them tomorrow and i'll see what's up.

 

COOL!! hope they work for you.

 

one of the perks with working around cars and guys who like cars. there's always cool little parts for sale around here. turbos, in dashes, you name it. wword got around to a guy in the shop that i was looking to get some monitors, and he offered em up. too good.

 

^must be nice, I wish.
