Has anyone put screens in their rear seat area? Are there pictures. After a search on the web I have only found the "universal" kind. I have rear seat entertainment in my current SUV and it is great for the long trips we take with the kids. I'm turning in my SUV and getting a Clubman without Nav.
I'm pretty sure I will have the moonroof so the overhead kind is out.
That leaves me with back of the headrests. I know there are the "universal" kind with the DVD players built in to a replacement headrest, but they look like crap. (I think they are made for Chevy's and cars with square headrests.)
My goals are this:
1. Maintain factory headrest appearance. I don't want a Chevy headrest in my beautiful german designed Mini.
2. Size. Needs to be small. I don't want a big DVD that goes under the seat to interfere with the movement of the seat if it goes there. If it goes in the back it has to hide away well as I will be using most of the space in the cargo area quite regularly. I guess the "secret" second glove box could be a good place if it can fit.
3. Headphones and integration. It shouldn't be hard to integrate the audio into the Aux-in, so sound isn't an issue. That said, sometimes there is only so much Little Mermaid you can take.

No one sells DVD integrated factory headrests that I know of. Newministuff.com has them for the 1st generation minis. I agree that the universal integrated headrests are ugly, but they are easy to install. If you are a DIYer, I would recommend just cutting your headrests and installing your own. Otherwise, take it to a shop. There are small, slim DVD players that should fit under the passenger seat without interference.
