I'm interested in your little TV project. Are you doing this or is a shop doing this? Did you get a local leather place to re-upholster them? I plan on doing this eventually...

they were OEM takeoffs out of a 2009 Escalade with a few thousand miles on it. Mint condition, ebony headrests, 100% direct swap. I installed them and ran the wires down the seat. I want the brain mounted under the console (where they put the factory one). So, I am having a friend who works for an audio shop finish up the install. They are pretty trick. Two headrest TVs and the overhead one. They all can play from 3 different sources, so essentially 3 different movies going on at one time.

But can they all play from the same source?

No. The stand-alone system that comes in the Burban from the factory plays on source. The headrest TVs can play the same source, or different. Like, put one disc in one headrest and it'll play on the other, or they can be independent. But they function completely separate from the overhead.

They are made by Visualogic. They are an OEM option, not sure if dealer installed or factory, but this is what comes in them. They even have the Caddy logo when you power them up. Trying to see how to swap that to the Chevy bowtie.

What was the price of the headrest take offs?

sent from my thunderbolt

They are $1300 from the dealer. I paid $300.

Well hopefully my future vehicle will be Tan then bc I -WILL- want those!! Both Esky's i'm looking at are Pearl White/Tan and Black/Tan so unless these somehow get sold or end up having something defective, I'll be going the Tan route!
