for the remote eye, i took out the plastic cover from in the back of the rear armrest, made a small hole through the fabric in the boot and put the cables from the antenna's and the remote eye through, put back the leather insert and it cant be seen. , the eye now sits comfortably beside the centre headrest and most of the time works well wherever you point the remote, sometimes you need to point behind you. On reflection i shouldnt have made the hole, i should have taken out the rear fabric put the wire behind, but at the time couldnt face taking the boot apart.
Worst thing about the cheap TV i bought is the tuning, if you dont get one which auto updates the channels on the move, its a PITA, you need to constantly retune while moving, its really unwatchable while in motion due to this. in fact i hardly use it anymore I just use it for movies etc as it has a SD card and USB where i can put movies to watch, I plan on updating to a better tuner after i have put the rear headrest monitors in. I would advise anyone considering a tuner to not gat the cheap ones, in the end you wont be happy.
on the antenna's - i understood that you couldnt use the diversity antennas in the car so put in another on the back screen with built in booster, which seemed to work quite well, would be good if you can
