LCD monitors in back headrest

Has anyone ran monitors off the ML system? i just completed the nav hack and dvd while in motion. much thanks to Technique for his help

i believe i found the wire for the display and was curious if anyone has wired off the factory ml to transfer the display to monitors in your headrests. assuming i can tap into this and allow it to feed more then the display on the nav. i know i will duplicate what is on the front screen and im okay with that. maybe i will put a switch to turn them off??

if you have any pics of how they look please post pics. i would like to put in a monitor in the factory headrest.

thanks!

I have seen complete headrests for sale with the screen and dvd player integrated for the IS2x50...but thats it. I havent seen anyone that used the ML to play the DVD's through headrest minitors.

edit:
oh and this is from the second post so i'm for sure it can be done

[QUOTE=vodka1;3222284]Yes you can. There are 2 other "Video out" yellow RCA cables comming out of the A/V input unit for the back headrest.

You can see them on the left side of the A/V input unit on this photo :
