You need to re-read post... TOP OF POST:
MyGig Mod: NAVtv - AllGig
I routed the Monitor Video through the seat back. I first tried to route THROUGH the foam via the gap next to post hole, just couldn't get it though. So... I routed through the gap next to post and between fabric and foam down the back of the seat. Its easy to pull the fabic away from the foam enough to route your cable. I used a LARGE (3 Foot) ZIP TIE to fish the wire. Large Zip ties are great for this... they are strong/stiff and wont puncture the fabric.
Here's an image that shows the A/V Cable from Monitor (Normally, you cant see it, but I lifted headrest and pulled the cable forward to show where you can route it.
This shows the tight fit against headrest after using the "Wood Back Plate".

looks good. nice work. Does anyone make a neoprene cover (similar to a winch cover) that could be put over these in a jeep that doesn't use the top that much?

As far as the wiring goes... Did you wire the second lead to the parking break lead as the directions tell you to and if so, does that mean you can only use it when the parking break is engaged? Or, can you simply wire both the power lead as well as the parking break lead to an ignition hot lead so the kids can watch while your driving? (Which of course is the only reason I am even contemplating this)

YES. I just ordered the Seat Clovers (Headrest Covers ONLY) They said it wa a "special" order and normally not sold that way. Not the greatest fit, but works for now. I got both front and rears so it would standout as much.
