its not all that hard... all you need is something on the back side of the mount, like vinyl or something, so it dosent look like ass when you look through that hole in the headrest.

Just be carefull when you cut the fabric/leather... make sure to leave enough so no rough edges show... and cut the foam so the shroud has a snug fit... you can usually secure it with some epoxy or another strong adhesive.

The wires can usually be run through one or both of the posts, as Honda's usually have hollow posts to begin with, they may just need some enlarging, but not too much so they dont become weak.


The size of the monitor does not matter... its the brand usually... although most screens are made by toshiba or sanyo, then sold to other companies to have their own name put on it.

through the posts... if you take the headrest out and look at the end of the posts, you'll see that they are hollow... the tip just has to be enlarged to fit the wire.

If the post in isn't hollow, you might be able to take a drill press through it and hollow it out.
