hmm....can see a few accident potentials with that one. A semi permanent fixture to a head restraint looks a tad.....insurance unfriendly

The fact that it's running on batteries is it's shortfall, either you need to take it out the car each night or it needs to be plugged in to the cigarette lighter, a pain if your sat nav is portable. It would also be a target for thieves as it's pretty conspicuous.

Nice idea, but I bet it will be impractical in the longer term. And, as Zak says, it'll have your eye out in an accident

It runs on a charger too, which is hooked up the the lighter socket.

All the units edges are rounded off to comply with European safety standards for the amount of curve a corner has to have to as to not hurt you in an accident and all that.

I didn't measure it myself, forgot me bloody micrometer angle doofry whatsit... but it is smoothed curves.

Personally I can see myself smacking my head on it when I whip around to the the kids to shut-up...
