Default Found a Great headrest DVD Deal! Perfect match (ivory leather)

I recently put the Power Acoustik HDVD-9BG (Beige) headrest dvd players in my wife's 2008 GX470 without nav with ivory leather. It matched the leather perfectly! My wife is very picky and even she says if matches perfectly. So far I'm very impressed with this system. I researched the heck out of these headrest dvd players, and the price ranges were usually $1100-$1900 installed for my quotes for other brands that guaranteed to match... However, I found this one online at Beach Audio for $523. This comes with dual DVD players, so my girls can watch 2 different movies at the same time, or watch the same one on both monitors. It also came with wireless headphones (2 sets) and 2 remotes. I bought the 3 year warranty for an additional $75. (this was offered at checkout with beach audio) I was going to install it myself so I put the headrests in and fished the wires down the backseats (with my wife's help) --she made me put that-- in about 20 minutes. It even came with these metal tubes that make it a very good snug fit in the headrest. However, I got intimidated about hooking up the power wire-- wasn't sure what to tap into, and didn't want the airbags to deploy etc... so I called a local installer here in Tulsa and they agreed to wire the power for me for $50. However, I ended up paying $150 to make it a neater install without any wires showing at all. (you would have been able to see some wires the cheap way, but if you want no wires, they had to remove the seats so labor was a little more involved)
Anyway, the total expense for this ended up being $750 installed (including the 3 year warranty). They look great and the wife is happy! My only hesitation on ordering these was if they would match... and I wanted to post this to let you know that they match the IVORY LEATHER perfectly. Don't know about the other colors.... Hope this helps.

That's an amazing deal. I had mine installed for $2,500 a couple of years ago.
