Independent AV switch for head rest feeds...

I'm in the process of fitting a GVIF with reversing camera and some LR head rest monitors (now only Â£120 on ebay - new). At some point in the future I'll add a DVD player and possibly a DVB tuner through the GVIF. The head rests come with their own AV module with feeds for two sets of RCA connectors.

I'd like to keep the monitors so they can be independently fed separate AV signals, but also provide each rear screen with its own "mode switch" to allow them to switch to the out signal from the GVIF if the user so wishes.

Does anyone know of/would recommend a suitable in-car AV switch for this?

blue meanie: Is there the possible to have wired mode switches with this or does it have to be via the remote. I want my kids to be able to switch easily, but if there's a remote they'll probably end up fighting over it... I did find this switch, but was put off by the remote (for now). A simple mode switch located near each screen would be better if I can find such a product...

I also found this one:

but I need at least a 3 in 2 out switch

and this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VISION-AVVS1-AV-...4ac0c14bb5

but there's limited technical details. I asked the seller for more information...

ok, so probably best just to get some 'Y' phono splitters and some simple two way AV switches like these:

http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/39512-2-way-aud...-1041.html

as the screens will only need to switch between the DVD and DVB tuner then and just run the split source outputs to the GVIF if you want to watch any of these on the Satnav screen, no need to involve the Gvif in the headrest screens at all? and theeeeennn......???

The GVIF will have the DVD/DVB feed to the front NAV screen too, so it can send to all screens if the switch is set appropriately... Also I want to be able to plug devices like ipods etc into the rear screens and let the rear set passengers choose what they want to watch.
