Love it! Great job. Where did you have them installed?

Very nice install! Are the DVD headrests OEM?

How much did the tint job cost? Did you get the rear window done too?

I paid 65 for the front two windows. Did not get the back windows done, as my wife is very against a dark tint. Could have got cheaper, but went with the best guy in my town.

I purchased the DVD headrests from a company called Invision. There are a couple of companies out there that sell these. I installed them myself - with the exception of the hardwire job to hook up to auxilary power. Everyone wanted $200 for full install, but I was able to get the headrests in on my own and hide the wires.

Looks great. How much were the DVD headrests? I wouldn't have a clue as to do the install, but $200.00 seems very reasonable.

Does the DVD run off the car head unit or does each head rest have a dvd reader/player?

I paid about $1400 out the door for the headrests, plus $25 to have an audio shop hard wire the power. My dealer wanted $2000 plus tax for the same headrests with install. I am not mechanically/electronically savvy, but I was able to figure it out. Believe it or not, the toughest part was figuring out how to remove the head rests (I will post separately on that issue in case anyone is interested how to remove them).

Here is the contact info for the Invision rep (Lawrence) who you would want to talk to about these headrests (his info is in this thread): http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-system-2.html . I think the company only has one rep that is allowed to deal directly with the end user. This company really does have excellent customer service.

Very nice!!!!
Sure, I have the same plate under my California LP. And I see we have the same car and package also.
By the number your ED LP - some were in march 2006?
