Have you tried google-ing your headrest monitor's for an installation manual or user guide.

I have managed to find most manuals have some connection instructions in them, and if you go to the manufacturers webpage, then most will let you download a manual in pdf format.

Hope this helps...

Worked a treat for me in the past for Nokia bluetooth kits and alpine radios etc.

when i fitted mine it had three cables red,black and green the red and black tap into the rear cig lighter (so you cant leave the monitors on when the car is turned off) the green is a ariel so the monitor can transmit the sound by FM to the car HU,
i have fitted 3 sets of these so if you send us a pic of the monitirs you got and the wiring i might be able to shed some light on it for you
