ML 350 Headrest Remove and Install Headrest DVD Player.

neelping · 10-28-2009, 12:53 PM

I bought a Sony DVD ($229 incl. shipping) from ebay, and want to install it in the new ML350 2009. Can someone help me out with,

(a) How to remove headrest from the ML 350 ?
(b) How to connect the new DVD headrest ?
- Pull the wires through seats, (no idea if they go through an ML seat as well ?)
- Final hookup - (step-by-step) for the new car

I am really nervous to just pull things apart in the brand new car, and believe this post should also help other DVD aspiring ML owners !

Thanks guys,

I shall post step by step pictures if instructions are provided.

What model # on the dvd player and did it come with a splitter or dual output?

hi Rob, its 2x7" inch headrest dvd player from SONY with built in FM transmitter. It came with 2x audio video output and input cables. The DVD is directly built into the headset beneath the 7" inch screens.

Is there a shop you can take it to?

They would know how to most appropriate handle the install.

OK guys, here is what I know. Mercedes ML 2006 and beyond come with active headrests, so installing a monitor in it is not advised and voids the warranty. Instead I am advised to place in overhead DVD monitors or behind the headrest DVD monitor (which runs about $1499 for Mercedes compatible one).

For those who still want to evaluate their situation for other cars, the video of the same is here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2mo-...eature=related

Hope this helps and makes up for the meaningful feedback for this site.
