Your Driver and Passenger seats have airbags that have to be de-activated before you attempt to remove the seat back. That can usually be done after disconnecting the battery, discharging any capacitors in an approved method and having access to all codes - radio or any other accessory you have on board. You also have to be careful since the front seat headrests are "active headrests" and any wires that run through the seat have to be safely out of the way of the mechanism. Probably the best way for a DIY'er to attempt this is to install seat covers mean for seats with airbags and run the wires to the DVD player through the seat covers rather than the seat itself. The arear between the seat and the head rests can have the wires running through protective rubber or leather sheaths to cover them and disguise the fact that wires are present. This might be the safest alternative save from going to a professional to get it done. What ever you do, be careful, as playing around with airbags and related systems can be expensive to repair later on should something go wrong or when you really need them to work.
