Am thinking about getting some headrests for the QQ.

Does anyone know how easily the back panel of the front seats come away to feed the wires down?

Any video tutorials out there?

Also, any recommendations? Looking at some Xtrons 7" pair on eBay for £99

Zips on!
Leather does, cloth trim may differ though.

I had some fitted recently at a cost of £100 for the pair. I didn't want to void any warranty so the guy made a small hole inside of console behind handbrake where he was able to feed both cables through. He was then able to connect power via double cigarette socket.
No permanent electrical connect so can be removed easily.

I left him to it and pop out every now and then. I have the leather trim and from the questions I asked he just fed the cables. Through the seat using wire similar to coat hanger.

OK - so have received the headrests and all going well so far. the seat backs are fairly easy to remove when you know how... there are plastic clips around the sides and bottom which enables you to fold the fabric up.

An issue i have now though is to find a suitable 12v ACC wire to hardwire the headrests to. I also need an earth point.

Does anyone know where I can pick these up from please?

TIA

Can't you use the cigarette or usb point in the console between seats? Or if electric drivers seat this one.
