Abstract

A high-back automobile seat having an opening defined by the seat's rear surface. The opening allows mounting of utility or entertainment components for use by a passenger behind the high-back seat. Entertainment components such as a video screen or an integrated DVD player/screen may be mounted for viewing enjoyment. A formed seat bun with the opening provides the space for mounting of such components. The formed seat bun may be prewired to allow easier installation of electronic components. An area about the opening may be contoured to provide sufficient depth for flush mounting of components.
