Am I the only one crazy enought to have installed a front mounted video Screen with a 7" overhead screen for the rear passengers? With all those Mods listed I was surprised to see no video stuff, how come?

Just haven't gotten around to it. Besides, the X will be replaced with another truck to move the family. Then the X will become an off-roading toy. Not meant for human use...

In the next truck there will be plenty of TV's. One for the driver (nav system), one for the passenger (visor), two for the second row of seats (back of headrests), and one for the third row (center of roof).

Don't worry, I got it covered. Just not in this X.
