In-flight Entertainment & LCD Screens...
      
      
      
      Dear listers,
      
      I've received quite a few emails asking about my entertainment installation in
      the RV-8 project and specifically the components I used and how I installed them.
      The links and text below documents the selection and process pretty well
      and so I thought I'd pass it along to the Lists.
      
      The front headrest with the monitor in it is the standard headrest I got from Classic
      Aero for use with the Aviator seats.  I made some serious modifications
      to it however, and then sent it back to them for leather upholstering.  It came
      out really nice and isn't too heavy.  I documented the whole process in my
      blog in extreme detail here:
      
      Initial installation using the white plastic shells (10 logs):

      Final installation with Leather upholstery completed (4 logs):

      On the main instrument panel, I'm using a Kenwood DNX8120 entertainment system
      with a 7" LCD touch screen.  The DNX8120 has been replaced by the DNX9140 which
      is very similar:

              http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/eXcelon/Mobile_Video_n_Navigation/DNX9140 
      
      The rear screen is slaved to the DNX8120 though an AV controller that comes with
      the screen.  The rear LCD screen is also 7", but not a touch screen.  Its a
      Kenwood model number LZ-702IR:

              http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7134_Kenwood+LZ-702IR.html
      
      The rear view cam is also a Kenwood unit and integrates with the DNX very nicely:
