Its very possible but I've only seen it done a few times. No pics tho. I'de go with nothing larger than a 10 inch screen.

its a little 7 inch one... and its pritty clean looking, not one of the cheap ones. So noone has any ideas on how to mount it? I saw the post where the guy made templets to mount a lcd infront of the shifter, so im mounting my 5 inch screne there and was going to put this one for the people in the back seats and put my little 12v dvd player under the passenger seat.

I really dont see how it could be done, the headliner doesnt have any support above that area. You might be better of mounting it by the e-brake or something.

i was thinking of mounting it right behind the sunroof, (The 7 inch flip down one). The 5 inch one is just a lcd screne and im going to make something to put it infront of the shifter (completely different project).

I've seen it done before, and I may have pics, let me search my system to see what I can find. As a suggestion, why not mount 2 seperate 7" screens in rear headrest? Wouldn't have chance of obstructing rear view and would also be more stable, (if you happen to run into a philly-sized pothole).

Sorry, you can't see the screen in the pic, you can see the visor screens, and rear headrest screens though. Worth a look

VERY hard to as the sunroof goes all the way back where you would mount it. So im probably going to putll the thing appart and take the screne out and stick it in my center consil infront of the shifter.

i gotta dig these pics up. but this guy that i hang out with removed the tool kit and fiberglassed a decent sized monitor in that spot. pretty sweet looking. he's also got tv's in the headrests, a 7" in dash monitor, and in the sun visors. plus a 4000w system that is absolutely nuts loud. also a louis vitton headliner, so you all can figure out tha awesomenezz, yo.
