- 2011 Explorer Limited
I have a 2011 Explorer Limited Edition on order.
I, like many, chose not to order the Invision headrests from Ford. The cost is insane when you consider they are not even integrated into MFT or controllable from the front seat, plus they use FM radio modulation for sound transmission to the main sound system!
For less than 25% of Ford's price you can get any number of other brands of DVD headrests. These are easy to install if you can take off the back cover of the seats.
Does anyone know how to do this on the new Explorers? Anyone install a third-party DVD headrest?
I know 2 iPads are an option as well, and still cheaper, but I dislike the look of empty mounts and cables hanging out (I wouldn't leave the iPads in the car when not in use). Plus it would be hard to make 2 iPads play the same material for the times I'd like the kids to share an experience rather than jacking into separate videos.
