powering an external monitor on back of front passenger seat

Hi Guys
What would be the best way to get 12V to the back of the front passenger seat so I can hook up an external monitor.
I am thinking take power from cigarette lighter and running it up the interior of the seat back but obviously have an airbag to contend with plus feeding wire out near headrest.
Anyone have any suggestions.
No I dont want the headrest option.. screen too small etc etc plus I will be controlling video from front via a double din head unit
thanks \Nick

Thank you Mark

Do not worry Mark, my daughter is very active and creative but there are times on a long trip where watching something not too mind numbing can help
Take care

I had the headrest option installed and it's pretty straightforward to get the cable up the back of the seat. There's a flange at the bottom of the seat back you can pull to access - it's a little fiddly to put it back.

The headrest-type screens pass the cable up through the headrest tube - in your case you might be able to get it out through the grabhandle or through the gap between headrest and seat. I suppose it depends where you want to mount the screen, whether you're prepared to puncture the seatback etc.

Getting the grabhandles off was a pain of a job.

Thanks Mike

I will have a look at the base of the seat
Just dont want to set off/compromise airbag airbag if there is one. I will double check
