I like the price of the 15 inch, but I like the size of the 17 inch. Remember, this is for a SUV with 2 rows of back seats. I would get a 20 inch, but I think thats over kill and way to expensive.

I got those headrest instead of the ceiling. I used to have ceiling monitor but HATED it. Block the rearview mirror and PITA as I keep hitting my head anytime I try to reach the back from the drive seat.

lol, yea that could be an issue...... problem is I have leather racing style seats and i really do not want to cut into them. Also I have 2 rows of seats that need to the screen and having head rest tvs, wont help. When you did have the ceiling mount, was it hard to install? how does it connect to the roof.... What size was your screen and how heavy was it?

It was a 8" installed just behind the moonroof over existing doom light in the matrix. Because of the moonroof, I have to fab a "plate" so that the monitor can be mount to instead of just the roof panel and provide some "support". I had to lower the roof panel to install.
Other than that, it's really easy. Just to make sure the cable are clear from the moonroof movement by zip ties it to existing doom light wires.

Well my challenge is that my car has a rear blower system for rear a/c on the second and third row seats.... I dont think the ducts run down the middle, but along the side.... or at least thats what i hope.... How do they usually connect screens in the car if there is nothing to attach it to? Maybe I should take my car to best buy to be installed.
