Yeap no problems. The active headrest is actually part of the seat not the headrest itself. The whole thing inside the actual seat moves up and forward. You will be fine. Just be careful with the vinly/leather on the headrest. It is very cheap and falls apart when you begin to cut and glue it.

They are pretty much right. I mean with the mounting bracket and what not with my 5.6" screen, it almost touches the poles for the headrests. Any bigger and it really will not fit on the headrest.

I routed the wires from the headrests, near the hole where it goes into for the two poles of the headrests, then down into the seat, and the wire comes out the bottom of the seat where everything is located under the driver's seat. My whole computer unit and everything is down there. Major Major Major wires and units. You would wonder how the hell it all works and how I had the patience to do it all. The passenger seat is the same except that the wire comes to the bottom of the seat and then crosses over the center console and then over to the bottom of the driver's seat. I left enough slack for the seat to move up and back without putting stress on the headrest wire.

If anything, I really wanted to put widescreen ones, but it just wont fit unless i custom make a whole new headrest. Which I may think about.

BigDog, there may be a problem cause the 02 headrests are smaller than yours & are shaped differently (angled back). I can tell from your pics. I am in the process fo ordering LCDs, but measuring the width there is only 6" of space. I may require new (wider) headrests... which I'm also looking into. Hang tight Maximagirl...
