What did cartoys tellyou? Over a year ago I asked Tweeters the same question and they said they would not do it because of the sunroof being in the way. I also asked if they knew anyone that could, their answer was most don't due to sunroof. I ended up doing it myself with an alipne 6.5" fold down monitor.

We had our DVD/flip down monitor installed at at the "Good Guys". It cost us $1500 total, out the door. We got the Alpine 7" flip down monitor (it sits behind the sunroof and takes the place of the overhead cabin light) and an Audiovox DVD player (it was installed inside the middle console). We also have 2 Alpine wireless headphones included with the monitor. The installer did say it was difficult to install the system and it took him about 8-9 hours to install.

How much is it to add a DVD player and screens on the headrests?

If we got the headset monitors instead of the flipdown, the price would be just over $2000.

How well does the tv tuner work? How is it the reception at a stand still and also while you are at highway speed?

tv tuner is working just ok! not too great, the reason I said that is I dont really care too much. I bought this for the kids to watch DVD. I have not try on highway yet.

I kinda looked into this but realized that it would be useless (no kiddies) but I think Good Guys are the only ones that will tackle that install with the sunroof. Headrest screens makes it difficult for third row folks and to have them installed in the second row cost so much it makes more sense to just get the flip down.
