well. i have had these 7" monitors in my storage room so i decide to put it to good use.. hope you guys like. leave a comment and any feedback
step one: 9" headrest monitors w/built in dvd system



step two: 7" monitor for front viewing

step three: 2 7" monitors w/colored wide view camera
prepare and testing


mounting camera on trunk lid cover



monitor bracket installed
the background on where the monitors are mounted will be blue to keep the black/blue theme am going for


ok here's an option. should i keep the transformer led light or not?

Looks good.Now finish off that led auto bot emblem with a piece of light smoked lamin-x.It'll look badass.

I understand the head rest monitors, and I guess the front monitor, but why the monitors and camera in the trunk? Am I missing something here, what would you use that for or do with it? I guess if you were riding around with people/bodies in the trunk and wanted to keep an eye on them?

i had the monitors for almost 2yrs and was cleaning my storage room so i installed it in my trunk for the fun of it.. i had nothing to do with the monitors... btw i took off the camera..

looks good, but i would of done the camera on the outside to use as a backup cam and added a video game system to it ,so you could play it using the trunk monitors when parked hanging out.

i had the camera idea too as you can see on the previous pic. i mounted the camera on the trunk body and cut the shape of the camera lens on the trunk lid to make it invisible for people to know theres a camera there but i run into a minor problem and the trunk lid couldn't close because of the space available to me. so i scratch that idea off because my idea for the camera wasn't for backup but just viewing when hanging outside.. i planned to add a video game system to the trunk monitor, just need to do my research on what i need to power the game system, what game console to put and where to place the system in the trunk so it wont interfere with anything.

I'm diggin' it! Keep it going man. I love good custom work.

Also, what make/model are those headrest monitors and how would you rate them. I'm toying around with the idea of doing some once I get my audio system done and I start on the video.

thanks.. well what i know is the model for the built in DVD player is SONY. they are very good and it has wireless headphone. the problem some costumers has is that for you to use the headphone, you need to switch it on the monitor and headphone first. for me, it doesn't bother me but other than that, i haven't had any problem and i have had them for 4months now.
