OK, I bought my wife a 2007 GX470. When we were originally looking at what to replace her X5 with I said whatever we get needs to have rear entertainment for the kids. She said definitely no on that. So I buy the GX with every option but RSES. Now she think it would be nice to have that since the kids are getting older. So, now my issue is how best to accomplish this. The car has the DVD changer in the glove box. So I was thinking that I could simply add some headrest monitors and tie them into the glovebox DVD changer. How I would do this, I have no idea. So my question to the experts is, can this be done? If so, what will I need and how much would it be to have done? This is a leased vehicle so that is why I was thinking headrest monitors. The kind that come already installed in a headrest that I can swap out once the lease ends. I have seen the headrest type with the DVD built in and those are really nice and that may be the way to go. I just wondered if there is a cheaper/easier way to utilize the glovebox DVD changer.

 

I believe there is a composite output on Lexus DVD changers you can utilize...but you may need a special harness...

 

Have you considered simply attaching a headrest portable dvd player, I did and it does not look that bad !!! make sure you get slim one not one of those that unfold like a laptop...something like this

I picked up a single unit at walmart for 88 bucks.....works awesome, no headaches !! I know it is cheesy but really the alternative sucks....

 

I was just at Sam's club and saw some of those there. They were like $248 for a pair. I may just do that and keep it simple. Thanks for the input.

 

I would like to do what the original poster wanted to do. I have a GX470 with ML but not the dvd changer. Can I simply swap out the cd player for the dvd player since I have ML?
