An apparatus for providing an electrical connection between a vehicle seat (20) mounted head restraint (14) and an electrical system (50, 52) of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a first electrical connector (702) secured to a support member (40) of the head restraint (14), the first electrical connector (702) being adapted to deliver an electrical signal to a component (640) mounted to the head restraint. A second electrical connector (704) is associated with the electrical system (50, 52) of the vehicle (12). An auto-connect component (710) is connectable to the vehicle seat (20) and is adapted to receive the support member (40) of the head restraint (14) and the first electrical connector (702). The auto-connect component (710) is further adapted to support the second electrical connector (704) and is configured such that the first and second electrical connectors (702, 704) are interconnected automatically upon installing the head restraint (14) on the vehicle seat (20). The auto-connect component (710) is further configured such that the first and second electrical connectors (702, 704) are disconnected automatically upon un-installing the head restraint (14) from the vehicle seat (20).
