Default Q7 rear-seat entertainment

Afretes or others, do you have any (affordable) aftermarket recommendations for rear seat DVD/entertainment for the Q7? I see a bunch of replacement headrest solutions on eBay that look decent (of course from China...) for $400 or so, just looking for first-hand Canadian experience.

We use the Invision model. Not bad but pricey, about $2k installed.

Default Proly not the same model. I think we pay something like...

$1,300 + 3 hrs of installation.
The ones we use have an 8" screen and wireless headphones.

Default I ended up getting...

An aftermarket, dual-screen 8.8" setup, complete with 2 remotes. It includes USB and SD card reader and that is the real advantage. Usually I have a 4gb card (it only handles non-HC SD cards) loaded with 5 or 6 movies for the kids. But on a long trip we can plug in the Archos and it works great!

This cost me around $700 shipped plus $250 install, for a MUCH better setup at half the cost (or more).

BTW the sound is via FM transmitter (or headphones), that also works great.
