Default Adding TV's?

I've seen a couple threads where people have added headrest TV's but the all seem to use an additional DVD player, not the factory one. Has anyone taken done the DVD hack and added additional screens? If so could you help me out with how to wire it? I rally want to add an additional 10" flip down in center for the kids in the back, but can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks.

Just buy a flip down with a built in DVD player, then they can watch on wireless headphones (because you don't want to hear that anyway). All you need is switched power (cig lighter center pin), ground (any metal on the chassis), and the dome light trigger (-/+) (if you care about the built in light coming on when you open the doors). Mounting them is a PITA.

Good luck.

You have a sunroof? If so, kiss the flip down monitor goodbye. Otherwise, you'd have to customize the rear seat to sit in the trunk to watch it cause it will be all the way back. Headrest monitor is best for people with sunroof or customize the center Armrest console to fit a monitor. Good luck.

I've done several overheads with sunroofs - just need to mount it to the cage of the sunroof. Be careful of the screws being too long (make sure the visor still slides open).
