kodiakz is off the scale

The install is easy! Each ((((((H3))))))) lol headrest has one cable coming out of each of the 2 tubes. Run these wires from both headrests to the control box (actually you can easily mount this under on of the seats). So you have 4 small cables to route to the control box (small unit 1" thick, 3" wide x 5" long). The antenna 'wire' is just that--a small wire that you route from the control box to the antenna on the radio (or as close as you can get--the closer the better and it can be extended with any normal wire). Then just grab a 12v constant, 12v switched, and a ground (constant and ground can be tapped under the seat if they are power). Stub out the aux input cables (6" pigtail off control box) and you are done!! The unit transmits on fm and the extension wire carries that signal so the closer the extension wire to the actual antenna wire the better (best is to extend it to the radio and wrap it around the antenna right up to the radio). The nice thing about the transmitter is that you have several different choices of fm frequencies to choose from whereas a wired modulator has only 1. The bottoms of the seats come undone so you can bring out your 2 cables there and follow the other cables routing down under the seat. The headrests are only controlled from the remote pointed at one or the other---short of installing an infrared repeater system, there is no way to control them from the front. Therefore, if you have small kids, you can set the passenger headrest to be the selected source on both and then you or mom can reach accross and change the dvd in that unit fairly easily even while moving; probably couldn't do that on the one in the driver headrest unless there was a front passenger to do so. I have other finishes of the A1000 in stock if you have not seen an actual unit and would like to do so
