Thread: Install DVD Headrest

    Smile Install DVD Headrest

    Hi everybody, this my first post here, i like this forum too much, i am very new in cars world, i got my new CX-9 five month ago, so i decide to install DVD Headrset for my kids, i got this on in the photo and decide to install it myself (i hope!!).



    i fix it and pulled the wires through the back of the seats, but ....!!!! the problem that i haven't any idea about the car electricity so i am afraid to make shortage in the electrical circuit.
    anyway, each device ending with fuse box and two wires (red and black) come out of it, my question is if I combine the four wires to be two wires ,two red in one and to black in one, and connect these wires to cigarette lighter plug is that will make any problem in the electrical circuit?
    Or how to give the two devices power from the cigarette lighter?
    Sorry .. too much talk but I want to be clear

    You mean plug them into the cigarette lighter. I don't think that would be a big problem. I have two portable screens which come in a bag and i plugged them in on my first trip to florida with no problems. I guess as long as you unplug them when not in use it shouldn't present a problem at all. How much did you get those from light in the box. Do they have them in black? i got a sciphone from them which came out pretty good even though the instructions were kind of vague.

    Talking I got it

    Hello kornholio
    My problem was how to connect the two devices to the same power source, but i got it , i went to day to the electric shop and i let the boy there to fix it under my supervision just to learn and he easily install it.
    at first he got the wires through the seats and removed the cover of the back AC unit so he found the plug of the cigarette lighter of the center console, so combine the four wires of the two devices (black with black and red with red) to be only two wires, then connect it to the power source of the cigarette lighter, and worked now perfect.
    really it is amazing and playing almost types of files even .avi and divx
    according to you question about lightinthebox, you will find it here

    I'd like to see photos as well because I have the tan leather interior. I'd also like to see the size difference from the original headrests. I've been looking at all kinds models at onfair.com website (as suggested in one of the threads), lightinthebox.com ( as stated above ) and also xtrons (ebay). I've actually requested samples from onfair.com. Anyone familiar with the Xtron brand?
