It is a Carshow by Rosen set of DVD players for the headrests. I also got the Black Leather with red stitching to match the All Terrain edition headrests. The monitors are tied to together and play either DVDs, USB, or HDMI(allowing Chromecast support, or Roku, ect...).

It doesn't tie into front dash, sorry if you were misled. The headrests have DVD slots in them and ate powered. I am hardwiring it into to 3.5 audio input in the console but it will not require front panel integration. I wish I could make something like that work, like my wife's Tahoe and the Bluray player, but it is not possible as far as my research has proven, although with an HDMI input I suppose I could add a Bluray player ha-ha!

Ok I got a few more pics to add to this but the light kept the quality poor so I will use these for the time being.

 

I finished the install and the fit and finish is awesome. The rear panel of the console that I was going to remove and try to conceal some of the parts/wires in dis not pan out as feasible.

 

The inside of the console under the rubber mat had a nice little remove able port hole that allowed me to fish a wire into that allowed me to use the 3.5 mm audio port. This makes the audio for the dvd system better than what you get from FM modulators.

 

These seats were far easier to do this on than my 2014 2500 with that plastic rear seat panel and cooled seats. That was a PITA, at the time anyway, still would be now but I know more. The 2014+ 1500s this upgrade is a piece of cake.

 

Headphones work great, remote works, audio is good quality through auxiliary port, and picture is good. I have the HDMI and USB ports that tomorrow I will likely pick up a spare chromecast to put in, and I will follow up with pics.

So are the headrests the originals? I would love to add this to my Silverado for the kids but have no idea how I'd go about cutting my headrests to insert the monitors. I am picky and it would have to look factory if I am going to cut into my headrests.

 

I have the cooled seats as well. From what I gather the wires from the monitors were sent through the backrest portion of the front seats? Do you have a digital install guide you could send me a link to? I would love to set this up - besides front parking sensors this is the only feature I wish I had in my Silverado SLT.

The cost will vary a little. It depends on what setup as far as inputs that you may want. Give Walt at ADC Mobile a call or email, he is awesome at getting back with you quickly.

 

The headrests appear original, but new ones come with the kit that match your particular interior. Mine had to be ordered with Jet black leather with red stitching to match the AT edition, and they are spot on not only in color, but also in the grain of the leather.

 

What I said about the cooled seats being harder, you should know I was referring to a 2014 2500 that was the previous body style, and possibly the newer ones may or may not be as difficult to work with. I can tell you the old ones were a little tough, but the new ones as in my case were so easy and quick to install.

 

No wires can be seen, it looks factory. The thing is, these are better than the factory Headrest monitors(not the Bluray player though!), as they have more options and can be hardwired, whereas the factory RSE dual monitor kit works on an FM modulator, which can be a problem while traveling.

That's awesome! You tire the DVD players to the front system?

 

I have a Chromecast connected to mine. I would love front camera integration.

yes, I actually am doing it backwards. The module i sent you has HDMI input and RCA out as well as 2 others for other camera inputs. So I am going to send the RCA outputs to the Rosen RCA inputs on the module. This way I can control the video and such from the front screen with the HDMI input from that device. But then if wanted I still have 2 other HDMI inputs for Rosen that I can put separate devices into and watch them independently on the back screens.

 

So They can all watch the same thing or each screen could be something different technically

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
