If the system has an audio output, you can just run a simple cable (usually RCA composite to 3.5mm) to the aux input jack (if they still have that on the 08's). That's how I had mine set up, but I have an 07 and I didn't use the Ford-approved headrests.

I considered Myron and Davis, Vizualogic, Invision and Rosen (all with the 2 DVD headrests). The Myron and Davis aren't even in the same league as the others (ugly flap door on top of DVD player, vents on sides of headrests, no video inputs on junction box, no audio output). Vizualogic didn't offer the game controller which I thought was a pretty neat gimmick. If I could've gotten it for a few bucks less than the Aud, I probably would have. In my opinion the Invision (like the M/D) are ugly. Besides that, they didn't offer the games either. But the big reason why they weren't an option is that they didn't have a direct audio output. I wanted something that could directly plug in to the AUX INPUT in the center console. So, it was down to Rosen and Audiovox. Rosen had everything I wanted - direct audio out, games (for which there are 2 wireless controllers vs. 1 wired Audiovox), 2 inputs and a supposedly very good screen. I was a little weary of them because of the spring-loaded mechanism of the screen and the lack of feedback out there on the product but would have overlooked it if I could have found a decent price. Unfortunately, I couldn't (the best I could find was $1800) and being that I could've bought an extra game controller for the Audiovox only $40, Audiovox was the clear winner for $1220 shipped less $10 refund for the pictures. I thought the screen quality was very good and I think the overall cosmetics of the headrests are great. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Wow, this was an unexpected response to my post. I have been a part of many forums over the years for other cars that I have owned and nowhere else have I ever had a personal attack. I've recommended many products/sellers in the past and I never got a anything from them - not Amazon or WeatherTech or PAC or Belkin or Pioneer or Costco or Blitzsafe or Harman Kardon or Samsung...(I can keep going)... And no one ever questioned my recommendations. Sure some disagreed with my opinion, but no one ever attacked my character. I considered putting in headrests many times over the past 6 months. I don't spend $1200 without doing a fair share of research. I'm sorry that I used things that I had found in my research to try to help other forum members find what they are looking for. That aside, I was happy to recommend these folks and share my experience because over the course of many calls (even though I didn't buy anything) it was always a positive one - much like dealing with Crutchfield but on an obviously smaller scale - I only spoke with 2 different people over the course of all my calls. Oops, am I going to get in trouble for saying that I like Crutchfield too? I found the company originally on ebay and that feedback was enough for me to consider them - even with the lousy website and lack of a non-1-800 # (I am not sure why that is an issue). So, finally, I took the plunge and purchased the headrests. If you have a real question as to why I picked the Audiovox over the other competitors, I'd be happy to tell you my thoughts. But if you are just throwing it out there because you are skeptical, I would prefer not to further waste my time. I thought I was doing everyone a favor but obviously you feel otherwise. As far as the pictures, I sent them pictures of my install (they offer a $10 refund if you do it) which they posted - I can't believe that became suspicious. Congrats to the private investigator that figured out that it was the same set of pictures - that must have been tough. In this day and age, it is rare that you have an experience as pleasant as mine was, especially with a web merchant. Yes, they did ask that I share my positive experience on this forum if I was happy but I certainly don't see a crime in that. As an owner of a small business myself, I too know and appreciate the importance of referral business. At this point, I don't care what you buy, where you buy it or what you spend - just know that I am very happy with my purchase.

I finally took the plunge after tons of research! Here are some pictures of my 2007 MKX with the Audiovox DUAL DVD headrest package installed. Installation is pretty simple and straightforward. I will try to take some better pictures one night so I don't get all the glare. These came from http://www.headrestvideo.com/vsheadrests/f...eforumdisc.html - the quality of the material and stitching is great and the match to the factory interior is perfect. And please, spare me the whole "kids shouldn't need TV's in the car" stuff. This is for limited use as I do believe in conversation with your children.

I don't find polarized glasses to help...to me, the glare is most noticeable on the side vents but I have definitely gotten used to it. It is a shame there isn't a truly great fix - I don't consider the dashmat to be one.

Sorry, I meant passenger seat...

Congrats on the purchase. My MKX is 6 weeks old now and doing great. What minor problems are you having? I seem to only have an issue with the handle on the rear hatch. It also seems that the passenger vibrates a lot when there is no one in it - maybe I am just crazy and looking for problems because I expected some...

I'm not really sure if any of the "upgrade" alarms that tag on to factory transmitters are even worth doing. In all likelihood, it does have to be wired which isn't a big deal. I say you should go with an "add-on" remote starter which uses the factory fob instead - I have one in my MKX and it works great! It retails for $225-$250 at aftermarket shops.

EBay feedback seems legit: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tab=AllFeedback

I picked up my MKX yesterday...so far so good. I went with the black on black, elite, ultimate & cargo management. Quick question - I noticed that the handle on the liftgate has a lot of movement - anyone else experience this? I still can't get over how quiet and comfortable this car is...

Good news. I received a friendly email back from one of the headrest video folks and they did agree to extend us a special forum discount ($85 off their regular price). Here's the link http://www.headrestvideo.com/vsheadrests/f...eforumdisc.html - once I get my MKX (only 3 weeks to go) I am going to do it. I will be sure to take pix and let you know how it turns out.

How long did they originally tell you guys it would take? I was told 5-6 weeks by 3 different dealers when I was shopping around for my MKX (which I haven't gotten yet but there is a backup in inventory that I'll take if it doesn't arrive in time).

They are $1285 on their website which is a lot more reasonable than the $2400 I was quoted by the dealer. But as part of that VW group, I paid $50 less. I will contact them and see what they say.
