headrest question

They are integrated with the airbag system electrically.

They only actuate when/if you are rear ended having said that

people have replaced them in the past but you may have

electrical problems/signage indicating problems.

Much easier to buy a capable tablet and fix it to the seat

with Velcro.

Hi, I just bought two headrests with built in DVD players for Journey RT, and the local mechanic advised that the existing headrests can't be removed. After seeing the comments in this forum I realize its not a simple procedure.

Is there a way out to fix these or it is almost impossible ?

They can be removed, but you will probably have a code... It is part of the SRS system and the active headrests are wired into the vehicle diagnostics systems... Of course, this is model year dependent as I believe the older models did not have active headrests. What year is your R/T?

^^ This. It's your car, if you want ot bypass safety systems, that is up to you. I imagine there might be warranty issues though, if you have a newer model still under warranty and possible insurance issues. Hopefully you have an earlier model without the active headrests, otherwise, I'd return what you bought and get the kind that strap on as suggested above.
