Headrest DVD screens for LR4
I'm just about to upgrade from my trusty 2004 Toyota LandCruiser to a handsome low milage LR4 and have promised my kids to fit a headrest DVD system in the new vehicle to keep them occupied in the second row (and keep Mom & Dad sane! ). The LR4 I have found does not have the factory fit system, so I'm on the lookout for a good/high quality aftermarket system (any reccommendations anyone?), or would the advice from the owners group be to go to my LandRover dealer and have the genuine LR system retrofitted? I know the latter option will most likely be more expensive, but I would rather have something that matches the interior perfectly and that easily integrates into the overall LR4 wiring harness etc. (not being an electronics genius!). Any input welcomed!

the 2 major brands (at least the more reliable ones) that I am familiar with for vehicle specific headrest monitors are Myron and Davis and Vizualogic. This would be the route if you wanted to just buy the headrests and have them installed. another option is to go to a reliable local custom shop and have them mount a decent set of monitors in your current headrests (however if you sell the vehicle this may pose an issue, if you chose to keep the monitors) the dealer will most likely cost you more than twice either of those choices. I would at least discuss with a custom shop first to give you an idea of where you stand. You could also try Best Buy if you are interested in going with the vehicle specific route, this may save you some money. (also, the vehicle specific choices often come as a standalone option with DVD built into one of the monitors and RF headphones for each monitor)

rear entertainment is available on all models of the LR4. It is a 2500 dollar option. Its fully integrated with the sound system and controlled from the rear and the front. You can watch the video on the front screen in park only. Just order the option from the dealer. Most dealers don't always order them unless someone specifies them. And its a really nice option.

Apparently Landrover use 7" Rosen screens as standard/OEM when ordered from new. I managed to find an after market seller (http://www.qualitymobilevideo.com) who provide a kit (2 Rosen AV7500 Replacement Headrests with DUAL DVD, Wiring harness, and Remote control) which is in the style & color matched to the various LR4 interiors. Seems like a reasonable deal at $1350 for the kit! Although still need to find a reliable installer who will not make a mess of the wiring!!
