There is how to put the screens in the headrest. All of the indash dvd/screens have had output to wire in extra screens. Then you just have to run the wire.

Don't forget that a PS2 plays DVDs and CDs.

In mine, I actually have 2 PS2s, a stand-alone DVD player with a TV tuner, and of course the head unit plays DVDs.

Did the screens you bought come with a switcher? If not, I would recommend getting one. My setup came with a switcher so I have three inputs and the two outputs for the headrests. That way each screen can work independently (or together). Wireless headphones are a nice touch as well, so that the people in back can listen to their own thing while I play whatever I want through the speakers.

If you just have two monitors with RCA inputs, you just need to wire them up. You won't be able to do every source on every TV unless you have a switcher.

If this does not help let me know. Should be all you need. Ignore the fact that they are actually doing this in a stand alone headrest. You have a one peice seat if I am not mistaken. Also, if your monitors are truely headrest monitors, they will have installation instructions inside the box.

I've got all sony stuff for mine and you don't need any extra amps to make it work, the headrest screens run off the rear outputs from the headunit screen and the changer...
