I know people use sizes from 5.6 to 6.5. I don't think to many people have bigger than that

Is not hard to install them, Polo help me but is not rocket science first you cut the opening in a X form... take out the cloth, put the frame in and then put back the cloth then pop the tv into the frame some people just pop them in i screw them since my headrest has a metal plate.. i hope that helps....i am not the best teacher....


If you are in NY i help you do the install

"Icon" are good!! not the best out there but i really like them, but what ever you get dont get the .org favorite......microvision that resolution is the wrost out there...like they said you get what you paid for....

My best advise go to dpa or meets and see them in person the quality. dont order stuff just because half of the people have them...judge by yourself!

now go out there and start shopping!

Leather is not a problem there are plenty of shops that will match the leather do a search if not i will give you a shop # around here as last resort! when you do the matching from the book take your headrest with you and look at them in the natural light since inside an office is alot diferent trust me...you car is never going to be inside an office... I hope

i was thinking about this and you dont need to replace anything just cut the one you have and you'll be good, I had to get another headrest because 02 and 03's are curved so the monitor end up looking to the roof top
