Just to update,i found an online parts web site showing the rear panel but i didnt have the nurve to keep pulling to release the clips.So i decided to attempt running the cables down through the headrest hole,thats when i found at first i couldn't remove headrests from the seats.
For future referance the headrests can be removed by pressing in 2 hidden buttons to release the headrest tubes.the buttons are located about 1 inch down from the plastic ring on the rear of the seat.You need to press in the button with one hand and lift the headrest with the other hand,there is one button for each post.
Anyway hope that makes sence,and i managed to get cable down the rear of seat and routed power cables to rear of cigerette power outlet .
Happy and quiet kids!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip about removing the headrests, which isn't in the manual. I tried in vain about a month ago to attach an activity play centre thing for my daughter by removing them. I found a work around which is not ideal so this should help.

Tony, did you route the cables through the inside of the headrest tubes? If yes, how did you access that part?
I have x2 Nextbase headrest mounted DVD players I'd like to fit in my A6. In the previous car, a Ford S-Max, I never tried to route the cables and they always looked messy (not helped by having to run the power cable to the front lighter socket). My girls keep pestering me to fit the screens to the new car so I'd like to have a play this weekend.
