With the Headrest DVD unit Player, installation problems were in the past. You will not have problems to adapt the screen to your head and take risks of a bad cut. The header included is super comfortable and ready to be installed, besides being of the highest quality and without losing its functionality. Installing a headrest player can be easier than a flip down dvd player, as you don't have to worry about mounting screws or headboards. The following directions are general, but they can vary for a specific player, so read over all instructions before beginning installation.
1. Remove the headrests from the front seats and take off their upholstery covers. Draw the front outlines of the DVD player holding frames on the back sides of the foam cushioning with a permanent marker.
2. Cut out holes drawn on the headrests. Using a razor knife, dig and hollow out the hole until it is deep enough for the frames to fit into. Use the frames themselves as a guide to gauge the needed depth.
3. Insert the frames into their holes, gluing them into place with contact cement. Insert them while the cement is still wet, wait for the cement to set and then push them all the way into their holes.
4. Poke another hole into each headrest dvd where the hole in the bottom of each frame is. The hole can be made with the tip of a large screwdriver.
5. Return the upholstery covers onto the headrests. Cut the upholstery away where it covers the frames, slicing an "X" down the middle and then cutting away each flap you created. You can glue the edges of the remaining upholstery to the frame with more contact cement to hold it in place.
6. Fit each DVD player screen into its frame once you know all the contact cement has dried and hardened. Run the wires through the holes in the bottom and attach the headrests back onto the car seats. Connect each screen to the player's central console with audio/video cables and store the console somewhere safe, like under a seat.
7. Connect the car DVD player wires to the vehicles electrical system. If the system needs to be wired directly, the cable should include three wires. Usually, the red wire connects to the car starter, the yellow wire connects to a constant 12-volt source like the battery and the black wire is mounted to a metal ground.
