MrBigs63' Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 My Ag teacher gave me the authority today to put a double din and headrest monitors in our shop truck. I already have a double din (Pioneer AVH-x1600DVD). I am in need of some quality headrest monitors. So far I have mainly looked around Sonic Electronix, and they have a decent selection but a lack of brand diversity. On top on that, only like two of their monitors have more than one review. I found a set made by a brand named Concept which had seven decent reviews. It is the Concept Chameleon CLD-700. They were 7 inch displays I believe. Does anyone have any experience with a specific brand or know of a good brand to go with for under $300 a pair. They need to be grey in color to match a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab, and they need to accept an AV RCA signal from the head unit. EDIT: Also, before anyone wants to teach me about the stupidity of headrest monitors, that is what my Ag teacher requested, and he is fronting the money for them. If he wants them I would like to give them to him.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 A friend of mine had 4 of those chameleons in his ride. He had to replace 3 of them under warranty within of a few months of being new. They would just stop working randomly. After those ones got replaced he never had anymore issues for 2 years so might have just been a bad batch. Edit- also x2 to what n8 said headrest can be a difficult install. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
SmallTruk Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 I've used two sets of the TView brand without any problems. They were the compete headrest so to swap back the stock ones is easy. One set was 11" and the other 9", got them from Amazon
crackinhedz Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 I have a pair of Autotain HR9L. Check out onfair.com Big selection, excellent prices and prompt customer service. Believe the latest model headrest is the "Dream"
MrBigs63' Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Posted January 8, 2014 N8 I am installing them. They are the whole headrest, so they should be pretty simple.

They are well built, and I think they have a better overall look than other units. Dont have any real complaints. I would recommend getting the zip cover if possible, which can be closed and hidden from view when not in use. I dont use the built in DVD feature as I have a WDTV media player and Nintendo Wii hooked to them.
