Default Headrest monitor options for 95 850T wagon?

Can anyone recommend a good option to add headrest monitors in a 95 850T wagon? Picking one up this weekend for a steal of a deal and am planning to add an Android dual din head unit (nav/BT/DVD/3g/wifi etc) but given how low the unit sits in the dash, and the size of the screen on the unit, i'd like to be able to add rear monitors so my (rarely occuring/potential) passengers can watch dvd's on a long road trip...

Would the XC90 stock units fit? The car in question I am buying needs a new interior as well (pic a part here I come!), would I have to swap over the entire seats from an XC90 if I go that route?

Oh, and before anyone asks, the car in question is a 95 850T, pro rebuilt 16T with BSR stage 3, koni yellows on IPD springs, IPD front strut bar, full 3" obx stainless exhaust, etc etc.... All for the whopping low, low price of $900 (give or take ). Burns about a qt of oil every 5k miles, and has around 250k on it, and isnt AWD like I wanted, she's a good candidate for a 5 sp swap and is a better option than this **** Protege 5 I'm driving now that eats just as much oil as it does fuel lol...

Your going to have to do some measuring for the XC headrests.

I'll be honest with you, if you bought a $900 car you are probably not out to make some tricked out A/V system. You will instantly exceed what you spent on the car. May I suggest you pick up those simple hang over the headrest complete DVD systems and be done.

Actually, I plan to keep this car for quite awhile. Its in pretty good shape for the miles, with (what I consider limited) reconditioning I think she'll suit me well.. All things considered, I don't plan to put thousands into an audio system. Honestly looking for cheap and utilitarian that is more modern than the factory "premium" sound from 95...Considering I'm only putting out $150 for the head unit (chinese Ebay special navi unit) and plan to just use the factory speakers/wiring (unless otherwise necessary), a couple of used/cheap headrest monitors won't break the bank too much...
