So I recently Purchased a pair of Onfair 9" Monitors after seeing how good of a deal they were. I was to be honest leary of the quality of them and how well they would match my interior.

1. The beige does not match it is about 2-3 shades to dark and going more to brown than to yellow. Thus I had my headrests dyed for about $50 bucks at a local leather shop. The results are that they are better but not perfect.

2. The headrest posts require the slide in posts and because of that quality of being able to adjust the headrest up or any direction suffers. Also I find that our posts are 12.7mm instead of the 12mm so the fit is still not prefect I am considering getting some SS pipe and threading it polishing the pipe and using that instead.

3. The factory headrest has a small hump on the bottom that covers the seat slightly this unit does not.

4. The angle at which headrests sits even after adjustment is at most 0-10 degrees. Less than than factory's 20-30 degrees. The end results is you feel like you have to crane your neck all the way back to get support use of it. I am not how effective they become in a crash test since neck travel is much greater. I was looking at Vizual Logic and even they do not have a good fit. I

5. Overall I think to be a great fit they would need to be rewrapped and reshaped. I have considered doing this because even in doing so the cost is still cheaper than myron davis or Vizual Logic.

6. Functionality Wise the screens are not extremely crisp. Contrast Ratio is lacking but suitable for my below 7 year old viewers. The game CD is a hit for the 7 year old boy who just wants to stay in the car and play the thing. Having a both units with DVD players helps as the other child can view his favorite Lightening McQueen DVD or Backyardigans. My first thought about the built-in speakers were cool, but it is not so cool when they start fighting over hearing each others show or game. Thank god for head phones I do wish tho they had a regular head phone jack.

7. One thing I found a problem right away was that the remotes are not specific per headrest thus in futzing with forwarding or touching the remote you can affect both headrests and not just the one you were intending too.

8. There is no input select button on the front of the thing so you have to find the remote just to change in the input source.

So I guess I am pointing out all the negatives am I happy with them? Well no I just content but once factor in the cost factor you have not choice be satisfied with the compromise.

I promised I post some information for installing them. I chose to hardwire them to the car.
Step 1. Finding a power and ground
I chose to use the bottom pin of the fuse for the stereo, I simply wrapped wire on the fuse blade and plugged it back in. I then ran the power wire under the door sill cover and carpet cover until I reached the anchor bolt for the drive side seat. I then used a pull wire to pull the power wire under the carpet and then back under the seat. I made a small slit using a razor blade in the carpet to pull the power wire. I ended up using the seat anchor bolt as a gound point normally I would have used the seat rails as an gnd point but damm those bolts wouldn't budge.

Step2. Was removing the seat covers. I posted before that instructions on how to remove are in the FSM but I have a pic that I hope helps. First remove lower hooks, then release lower clips, then middle clips then upper clips.




Here is a few pics of the seats with the covers off sorry for the bad pics but I was using my camera phone.

I have these and agree completely with your review. It this point they are staying but not really satisfied with them. Worried about the lack of support in the headrest if i am rear ended and cant wait until the remotes are lost or broken rendering the things basically useless. I had them installed so at this point it would cost me even more to have them uninstalled so for now they will remain.

 

After you have the headrests out you can simply run the wires under the seat rails .. I also ran a line out into my center console so I can use the aux input. I have a KP module I haven't installed yet. I need a new soldering tip as mine is a bit on the large side for such fine points.


Here is another pic to show how the dyed headrest looks against the factory seat.
