Today, headrests with monitors and DVDs are far from uncommon. Many motorists mount them in order to give their vehicle more splendor and luxury. And if the first displays suffered from poor picture quality, and more interesting models “bite” at a price, now you can find really worthy samples with a very reasonable cost. Electronic devices practically do not suffer from the so-called “broken” pixels (which did not allow to achieve high quality image reproduction), they do not have any significant delays and glittering loops that stretched (in earlier versions) for the fast image on the displays.
New time - perfect quality
The most important thing is that now the monitor does not depend on large boxes with a large number of microcircuits necessary for processing information. In addition, the interface for connecting this device to a video source is very pleased. It has become much more versatile and diverse. All this allows even an untrained person to independently install the monitor on the headrest of the car and in any other parts of the passenger compartment. In this article, we will tell you how to equip Toyota Land Cruser with this amazing electronic equipment. And before proceeding to the description of the work, one should answer the question of why it is necessary to “implant” displays into head restraints at all. Well, of course, this is not done for the driver. He must not be distracted from the road. But for passengers, a headrest with a monitor can be a terrific find during a long trip. And most of all, of course, the children are happy about this. You can turn on your favorite cartoons and go quietly without fear that they will complain about a long journey or any other inconvenience.
Now to the point
So, there is nothing complicated in the installation process itself. Actually, the whole task comes down to replacing the standard head unit (a system with a CD that works in the Japanese frequency range) with a special, let's say, multimedia one, and, of course, connecting it to two monitors installed in the headrests of the seats. As the main device, the purpose of which is to change its predecessor in the instrument panel, acts as a DVD receiver. It must be selected according to the size of previously installed standard equipment. We choose displays specially designed for mounting in head restraints. Other equipment will not work. The headrest with monitor should fit well together.
Nuances
In the process of replacing the standard head unit, you will have to leave the standard Toyota amplifier of the audio system, because otherwise you will have to spend a lot of time searching for its location. In addition, do not overload the built-in amplifying device of the new DVD. Overheating will not do good. It is good that the headrest with the monitor does not require replacing the old speakers. We leave them in place. We connect to the amplifier through the audio line out of the main device. When all these works are done, the matter will remain small. We mark the headrests, cut out the space under them for our electronic devices. Next, we mount them using special bolts and fasteners. So, literally in one day, your car can find an amazing headrest with a monitor that will delight your passengers on trips of any range.
