Rear Video System Install
#41
I think is has to do with trim level. My car is as base as you could get in '05. The ONLY option is heated seats. It doesn't even have memory seats.

Actually, in one of the versions of the instruction set for the screens there is instructions on poping loose the seat back and sending the wire down to the base..
Glad I posted pictures of them or else no one would believe me...

I am going to have it installed in the standard rear. The control panel was a great idea from ANDROULAKIS to have it inside his center console but the thing is I keep my colognes and other stuff in there and afraid it might leak then we have a huge problem . But I opened my package up today and read the instructions and with the little time I have, My friend is going to help me out. I dont plan to use it as much but I got it because it was dirt cheap and Dan was a great guy with excellent communication and well worth to install OEM monitors in a Jaguar. Especially in a 07' STR with limo tints and chrome black Leaper

I'm having serious problems trying to install this system.
My car has power headrests and it looks like it has the seat backs that supposedly slide over and the flop back. I'm a pretty strong guy and I can shove the seat back over about an inch, but I feel like I am moving nearly the entire seat with it, and it is not flopping back or anything.
I also can figure out how to get the head rest out of the top of the seat.

Got mine in from Dan, Everything looks great, I have Veterans Day off so I am going to do this tomorrow. I have been going back and forth all day looking at the various posts. I hope I have the right idea. I think my only question is how to get the connection from the headrests in the seat to the connection in the console? is there a place to run the wires into it that I am missing. I am hoping that this becomes more clear as I get into it. I am not good at the whole Picture thing but I will try to take pics as I go along as I am doing a pretty standard setup.

I've tried several file types and format, but seem to have a memory card problem.
Thanks for your help!

Read the manual as far as the formats it does play.
Second is your card formatted FAT32 with a WINDOWS machine?
I'd start by putting some photos on the card and seeing if the reader recognizes the card.

I just got my system in the mail from Dan today. Noticed that the install in the X-Types takes a lot more work due to the seats not having the slide out featrue in the back. Does anyone know a quicker way to get the cable down the seat without having to take the seat completely out of the car as the instructions say? I noticed that one person has seats similar to mine in their S-Type, so if you were able to come up with a solution, I would love to hear about it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I used coax cable.... LOL
I didn't even pull the lower flap down... Just fished it to the seam between the seat back and cushion, then down under the seat to the console.

I just downloaded normal Mpeg video that plays in windows media player. So far any .AVI file I've grabbed off of a torrent site works.. I simply test it in media player then copy it to a SD memory card. It is cool in that it will play my entire Top Gear collection... LOL Ooops, hope I don't get busted for saying that...

Just tried the coax method and got the cable to the lower part of the seat, but cannot get it to the openings of the seat. also tried taking the seat part on the bottom apart, but would not come undone to open the seat cover up. Going to have to look in to the second method and get the tool to trace the wire down.
