2013 needs headrest monitors

Just picked up a 2013 Explorer and thought I would put in aft market monitors in the headrests. Anybody have any recommendations? Any benefits to paying $1999 for fords upgrade?

Use the search function on this forum. Many good threads with suggestions by members on this topic. Ford OEM Invision Headrests are good but not great and many agree that the $2000 is a little high.

No connection between OEM headrests and MFT screen if you didnt already know.

Many good iPad headrest mounts out there now too.

Sgt, sorry but I did and didn't find anything for the 2011+ Explorers. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Can you provide a couple links for me.

I did find some cool new ones at www.rosenentertainment.com

Other than not being burdened with carrying around the weight of $2000 in your wallet, there are no benefits I can think of

How's this? Rocketfish iPad headrest mount for $29.99 at Bestbuy. I love that my son can still reach out and control it.
