Default Monitors in back headrests? how do I do it?????

Hello video gurus', am very much a newbie at this but I have a 2002-2005 Model SC430. I would like the set up to be as simple as possible. I want a "mirror effect",

I would like the navigation picture on the two headrests. It would simulate whatever I see on the front dashboard navigation system. I would like to keep everything OEM, minus the headrests, b/c the headrest with monitors built into them seems like the simpliest way to go. maybe upgradeable to watching DVD's too. but as for now, I just want the navigation on all three screens. is there just a wire link to the two headrests that connected to the front dashboard navigaition system?

what modules and headrest brands do i got with. links anyone?
again, as easy as possible. thank you.

Are you using an OEM or aftermarket headunit. If aftermarket it should be the video out cables. SIt sould show what you see on the front monitor. You can use the standard included cables with the headrests if so. If ,then not too sure if it is possible. I am guessing by law of video it is I am just not sure how it would be done.

Default OEM Nav Unit.

I'm using the OEM nav Unit that came with my car. I want to keep everything OEM.

I figure the "mirror effect" from my OEM front Nav Unit would just feed the two headrest Monitors..... I hope its possible with the OEM nav Unit?


anyone......help?.....

p.s. isn't there some sort of module to this??????

Might have to pull it out and see what kind of aux cords you have behind the unit. On the schematic there should be soome indiaction of video signal.

I believe the OEM navi is RGB video. Pretty much all aftermarket headrests are composite video, so you're gonna need a converter of some sort to do this.
