I put rear headrest monitors in tonight, two Concept CLD-700`s from Amazon.com. Black matches the interior perfectly pretty simple install. Both can play their own DVD but are also linked to share the same disk.

Where do they plugin for power? How are they linked?

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I tapped into the cigarette lighter port in the center console pretty simple. I'm pretty handy so I had a work around for the posts being a little sloppy mine are solid and do not wobble around at all.

 

Keep in mind as well these do not fit like 100% OEM but they are cheap and easy to install and do the job for me on my truck. If you wanted something more clean or more OEM looking I think you would need to spend a lot more money or get custom head rests made. I "might" be able to remove the DVD players from these head rests and mount them in the OEM head rest but I am not sure and not really sure I would bother.

 

What I did was slide a piece of shrink tube over the legs of the head rest to give it a more tight fit, they do not wobble shake rattle or move around at all. The worst part is removing the backs of the seats the clips are goofy and delicate I did break one removing it but you cannot tell. The center console is pretty simple to tap into the accessory power port. Inside the lower rear pocket from the back seats there are 4 torx screws simply remove those and pull straight up on the rear part of the console. Then I just cut the plug and soldered the wires to it from the two dvd players.

 

They are linked via RCA cable because each player comes with 2 inputs and 1 output, so I linked one players out to the others in and vice versa so that each player can share the others DVD OR each player can play their own independently.

 

I'd like to be as transparent as possible with these, they do sit back a little bit from the actual sitting side of the seats, I don't use head rests so its no big deal to me but as seen in the pictures they sit back about 1" from the seat face. Also one of the units came with a remote that is different from the other and it does not work properly. But the other remote works with both tv's so its fine for me. For the $ I can't see how you can go wrong with these.

 

 

I also lucked out I used to have an 08 suburban with RSE I kept the head sets from it, I was able to get both OEM GM head sets to RF link to these monitors giving me free head sets :D

Got my dash cam installed, but I still need figure out how to remove the headliner glass storage console trim and find a circuit to tap off of to get rid of the hanging wire that's now plugged into a power port below. Wouldn't it be nice if one of those many power ports were installed up there to begin with? :banghead:

Which dash cam did you buy?

Which dash cam did you buy?

The G1WH . Could be a knock off but so far so good. Heck- how do you knock off a 1080p dash cam that's only $65 to begin with? - LMAO!

Did you snake your wire all the way around your windshield? I'm thinking splice into something near the rear view mirror. Could power the radar det from there also.

yes,

 

I ran/tucked the wires along the headliner and the A pillar .Then run it underneath the dash and along the console then plug it inside the console accessories socket..

Got any pics of the grill emblem? I'm on the fence for doing the same to mine. Curious of how it looks

you dont have to remove the headliner to do that. just use your fingers and maybe a plastic screw driver to tuck the wire inside of the headliner and just keep tucking it until you get to an a pillar arm and then you can just pull that off and run your wire.

I did that for my Passport power cord. It was pretty simple and worked great.

Removed the front air dam, will see if I notice a difference in MPG. Like the way it looks now and I know it will be better after some lift and tires.

I read somewhere that lifting a truck throws off the speedometer. Would putting a bigger tire on an OEM 20" rim with no lift do the same?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
