Unfortunately, this is Usenet and you don't necessarily get to set the
paramaters for the discussion. You obviously recognize that there
*is* a safety consideration here and you prefer to ignore that for
your own selfish reasons. If you're going to drop all the bucks into
a couple of DVD screens in your headrests to entertain the rear
passengers, who's left to see the front one? Just you and one front
seat passenger. If *everyone* in the car *must* be entertained by
television, I'd suggest that you're a stupendous bore who will find it
difficult not to watch, yourself - which is precisely what poses a
threat to others. So feel free to stick screens in the headrests and
connect headphones for those in the back - but don't go messing around
with the front one. Lots of things *can* be done that *shouldn't* be
done.
