(More customer reviews)I ordered two of these for my 09 Impala so the grandkids could watch movies on the 8 hour trip to and from their house. I paired it with a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT in the dash DVD player. Installation instructions are pretty much a joke, with poorly translated English which did provide me with a few laughs during installation. After this installation, I feel that I am an expert in DVD installation in the Impala: As on-line documentation on this install is non-existent, anyone with questions can comment to this post and I will be glad to help.
Of the two units I received, one did not work out of the box. The problem was in the harness, as both monitors would work on one of them. Amazon sent a pre-paid mailing label to return it and I received the replacement in a couple of weeks. The replacement works great also.
The first monitor has decent color for what it cost, but the replacement unit was a newer model with different controls and the colors were more accurate. The tan covering is darker than the neutral cloth interior in the impala, but not offensive. The zipper covers are really nice, as the units are concealed for the most part when not in-use. I have yet to get the speakers on the monitors to work, but that is probably an error on my part so I haven't deducted a point for that. Not a problem for me, as I use the car speakers when playing.
FYI: these units come with TWO different sets of posts so they should fit the majority of vehicles, and the wiring goes through the post. These are two video inputs in the harness. I am stating this as I could not find this information before I purchased them. Although the same basic shape as the original ones, these headrests set back a little further than the original ones, which my wife prefers. The headrests swivel up and down for optimum viewing by all passengers, and a passenger in the middle should have no problem viewing them. The harness could be a little longer for some installs, as it was barely adequate for the Impala.
Considering these monitors can be purchased for less than 200 bucks for the pair, I am pleased with them so far. If they do not hold up, I will update my post. Their video quality won't satisfy a videophile, but I am sure the kids won't complain and they will keep them entertained for long trips.
