NEED TV's Opinion

Hi guys I just recently got the pioneer 6500 dvd and am loving it. I want to upgrade and put more tvs. Put some in the headrest, visors or both? I'm leaning towards doing the headrests only, what do you guys think?

jayp25 is an unknown quantity at this point
I say go for it or you could put two seven inch monitors that flip down above each seat so they cant be seen all the time unless they are down.

If you're looking at adding tv's in the headrest, and you have a coupe, you'd have to find some sedan headrests or you'll have to combat the hole in there. Other than that, I'd say go for it. As for the flipdowns, 1. if you want the same brand (Pioneer) to my knowledge, they don't make a flip down unit. 2. You can't just take them out when changing vehicles (selling, trading, etc) as they'll leave a hole in the headliner. Tint fixes the being able to see them all the time, assuming you go dark enough.

If you have a coupe, you'll still have a hole in there when they install leather. You could pick up a set of sedan headrests for about $25 at a salvage yard.

Will this hole be visible?? I plan on selling my car in about 2 years and when I do I will be selling it with the tv's so its not that big of a deal as long as the holes arent visible...

I wouldn't waste my money on those, or any preinstalled screen. The resolution on all of them are horrible. Every set I've seen (Vizualogic, etc) about 75% of them have went back with problems, majority of the time, the screen distorting, or blanking out. They put the low end tv's in there, making their cost go down, and profit go up. Save some money and do it right the first time.
