Wow! Looks amazing. Only problem is I just ordered escape gear seat covers that have holes for the damn screens.
 
So many big A/V plans once these little puppies are installed. How are we doing payment? I'll prepay! You nailed it on this.
 
I’m one of the few actually using these screens. I have a raspberry pi hooked up with movies and emulators for the kids.

For anyone taking them out for this delete mod, I’m looking to buy the cloth monitor covers. Dealers charge a crazy amount for them. I bought my 2016 used and they were missing. Let me know if any of you would be willing to sell the covers.
 
Wow, nice! I can't believe it. I've been hoping for so long that someone good with tools would come along and solve this. Don't listen to @RobRed , I get the first set. :bounce:
 
Once I finish the details I'll figure out pricing for you guys. I think I'll just put it on my website. You'll be able to order through there. Makes my life easier as it collects all the proper info, which helps me avoid PMing day in and day out...
 
You’ll have my payment for two sets once you open your website up for payment. I showed your breakthrough to my brother in law and wants a set too.
 
I too would be interested in the screen covers if any one here is getting rid of their screens. @brasskey is 100% right about what the dealers are asking for those covers, like $20 each!

*edit* noticed that I wrote $20, I meant $200

@MrCWineMan

$20??? Where is your dealer? In my limited searching, these MSRP for $220 and sell online for around $160. Each! Below is a screenshot from Camelback Toyota.

Definitely going to get a set of covers and remove my screens. Now I have to decide if I’m going to dump the screens or keep and store them.
 
I spent about an hour at JoAnn's upholstery store getting swatches of fake leather. The factory terra leather falls in color between JoAnn's Walnut Marine Vinyl (looks like leather) and Cinnamon Whisper faux leather. If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with the Cinnamon Whisper faux leather as it looks more like real leather with no sheen. I think this material could easily be applied to the inserts with 3M adhesive spray and then rolled over the edge a few millimeters to give it the professional look. I'll use one of my sets in an experiment of finding the best color faux leather and keep reporting back.

Does anyone know what plug fitting we would need so that we could attach the USB power port to the factory power connector in the seat?
 
Great work @TrekboxX ! I'll pass this on to a neighbor who recently got a 16, and like many does not like the screens.

I can do the leather, and I can also do the USB hookups- just depends on how many want it. For now let's start with just the covers. I was thinking group buy with sliding pricing depending on how many order.

Group buys can be a PIA for us vendors- trying to track people down, pm's, etc. Especially for a small product like this. I'll just trust that whoever says "I'm in" will come through. :)

Pricing shortly...
