i know it seems like a weird question but what other head rests can fit in an 05 euro?

reason for my question is im trying to to put 7inch monitors in my headrests, but my euro lux's headrests are so tiny and the screen stick out by a mile. I was just curious as to if a different headrest would fit the grooves. I keep on finding ones that are like 10-15ml out

so im trying to source some headrests that'll fit, they dont need to be leather because my friends an upholster and he'll do it for me.

any ideas guys? lol

thanks in advance

you can buy headrests with 7" tft's on them already. the pole is adjustable to suit the euro.

im looking at getting this later on http://www.szviewtech.com/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=334

Only back part of the head rest was modified.....seeing this now the way they are I'm happy but could be better with the filling used a bit lumpy in some parts, not very noticable though

It can be done 7inch screens in OEM head rests, just the back part of the head rest needs to be modified as stitching is in the wrong direction for the mod.

Hope this helps ;)

Yeah it looks like it needs more stuffing in the top sections.

good effort, but im not feelin it and what tony said. i'd rather install one that is a headrest+screen combo. no modding required.

but if ur happy with it, then its all good.

I liked my head rest didn't want some square job, yuk !! I'm sure if he put a bit more effort into it it would look much better....overall 7inches can be done for oem head rests


oh wow that looks awesome. good work!

Thanks ;)

only way it could be done to keep the same form/shape at the front, I wanted 7inches and to squeeze 7inches to the oem head rests very hard, got knocked back by alot of trimmers said it couldn't be done. Looks better in real life trust me

I prefer to buy a headrest + monitor so i can put the oem back if i wanna sell my car. Mine is 9" so the oem headrest won't fit anyway.
