Default Nice Job

Nice Job Franco

It took me a while to figure out if your car was a Durango because I saw that your passenger seat was folded.That is a nice feature that is not available with the power seats. I use my Durangoto get a couple of 2x4 from the local Lowes and I was force to put them on top of my center console. I made sure they were wrapped with plenty of plastic.Did you get the backseat TV? I wish they had more channels but for now three are fine .

I noticed the same yellow quick disconnect from the Active headrest. Are your DVD’s integrated or behind the headrest like mine? Is hard to see from that angle. I saw the first post on this thread on how to disable the active headrest system. I wish I saw that before I did my install. I didn’t think it was possible to disable them and that’s the reason why I went with the behind the headrest units. Don’t get me wrong, they are awesome but IMO the in the integrated displays look better.

LOL I left them un plug .. as far as the 9 in tv's they will be hook up to an ipod and dvd player. I got a lockpick 5 but I am having problems with it and yes I am getting the backseat TV 3 channels are ok I guess.

Driver side seat is a power seat others are not ....

NO I am going to have to set up my setup like yours my cluster has an airbag light on because I disconnected the headrest other than that they work great.

Default Active Headrest

Franco


I am a member to this other Dodge Forum and they found a way to disable the airbag light, but just for the active headrest.

Here is the link.

Once you read that article just make sure you place the resistors in a place that is non flammable they do get hot!

That's what I thought. A huge red flag imo. Franco, I wouldn't but is your car and your decision. I believe is something similar to a mod that I did on my Victory motorcycle to go from stock turn signal light bulb to led. It was crucial not to leave the blinkers on for a long time because they could start a fire. Lets just say that my turn signal are back to stock.

Yeah those will get way hot sticking them near seat foam might lead to severely heated seats!
