2012 Expedition EL Limited
I recently posted about getting video from my head unit to my head rests. Well, one of my kids pulled on the screen and broke the passenger side screen. Honestly, I don't really like the head rests and I think this will be my excuse to get a roof mounted DVD player.
I would like to do the following:
Add a Kenwood or Pioneer Head Unit
Add roof mounted flip down dvd screen
Connect audio and video between the two
Connect my rear back up camera
Add GPS antenna
Add adapter for steering wheel control
My concerns are:
Cutting into the headliner
Getting power to the DVD screen
I've installed head units in other vehicles before...but this will be my greatest adventure yet. Any suggestions? Harnesses and such?
Afterthoughts:
I'd like to sell the OEM head unit and the working headrest DVD player
I was quoted at store for this to be around $1500. Obviously, quality wouldn't be an issue at the store, but I'm pretty handy and think I could do it. Has anyone else done the same and would encourage or discourage my plan?
