(More customer reviews)I installed this in a '07 Hyundai Accent. This is about as big as you can get for a small car like that and it seems to match well. Anything bigger would have been gaudy. The A/V cable plugs into a shorter integrated cable in the headrest. You will need to thread the A/V cable up the seat, plug it into the headrest, and then install the headrest. The easiest way to do this is to use coat hanger wire to push some dental floss down the seat ("Dental floss??"). Once the dental floss is down the seat and on the floor of the car, thread the floss through the end of the cable. Yes, you will see two small molding holes in the connector. Thread the floss through these holes, tie off the floss, and pull the cable up. My headrest holes had zero clearance for the A/V cable and dental floss is thin enough to get through the gap. Connect the A/V cable to the integrated cable in the headrest and then push the headrest down.
The manual is written in broken Chinese English. It's not hard to figure out how to use this display though.
Adjusting the headrest poles is not easy. The manual's description sounds awful but it absolutely works. You will need to grab the poles in each of your hands and work them forward and backward. The manual calls this "walking the poles". Do this while squeezing them inward or pulling them outward. It is extremely awkward to do. I got the spacing right but the poles ended up being slightly off center by 1/2". No biggie.
One neat thing about this display is that if you turn the car off momentarily with the monitor on then the monitor will turn back on when you turn the car back on. I suppose it recovers to its last known state? I haven't tested how long it retains this memory.
Remember, this is a 9" screen. It's not meant for hi-def. It's meant to entertain a back seat passenger (i.e. a kid). My four and a half year old enjoyed watching his movie on this display. My video source was an iPad with the compositive A/V cable set. The audio was fed into my car stereo's aux input.
If installation was a little less awkward then I would have given this a 5 star rating.
