Default DVD Headrest Opinions

So I have been looking around for a DVD player for the truck for a while, looking at the MOPAR one that costs a bit of cash, and aftermarket NON MOPAR ones. Top mount and headrest mount. I found the following and wanted to get some feedback. I don't want to spend $1000+ for this, and yes I'm aware of any potential risk by going with NON mopar setup. I have a reliable place that quoted me $500 installed, which i have shopped around, and is very reasonable.

Want to get rid of the DVD Velcro setup that wraps around the headrest for a more cleaner look.

Just want to get some thoughts..

I did the Mopar units, got a very good deal on them. Going to install the lockpick to integrate them into the system and activate the VES mode on the nav/radio. So far, very happy with them.

The Advent ones you are looking at are the same as the Audiovoxx ones. Audiovoxx also makes the Mopar ones, however with the Audiovoxx or Advent ones you get the new touchscreen 7" monitors. I have the Audiovoxx/ Advent headrests in my Ram, however they are not a perfect color match, they are finally sending me some new material to recover the headrests. I see that they are now a special order item on their website. They previously sent me a couple different color swatches to match my seats, I found that their Bristol dark slate grey was a perfect match, should have new covers for it this week. I also recommend a lockpick or allgig to allow seamless integration into your factory mygig, i went with a lockpick V.3 and have had zero problems, bought it on ebay for 189 plus shipping.
