Question Excursion DVD Questions (Factory Controls, etc.)

Hi all,

I've been reading some of the older posts regarding the "X" factory and aftermarket DVD options and have some questions:

Does the 6-disc in-dash changer have the capability to control a [the factory] DVD option?

If so, is the wiring already there or is that additional?

Does the factory DVD option have a player integrated into the ceiling console or is it in another location?

Does anyone have any knowledge of the wiring functions of the 6-disc-DVD changer harness (color to function) -OR- has anyone wired an aftermarket DVD player to the factory 6-disc in-dash changer?

Is anyone aware of another company that makes a custom overhead console for the X besides Audiovox? I have seen one at mobilevideo4less.com, but I can't find out who makes it.

Is there truth to the fact that the overhead monitors obscure your rear view? Only for the larger monitors?

Thank you!!

Chris

Only part of your question I can answer is.......yes it does block your view with a large monitor. I have a 15" widescreen and you can't see anything in the mirror. It doesnt bother me cause I still can use the side mirrors. Just like everything else.....if you WANT one thing you gotta give up another. BIG monitor or rear view mirror.

The in-dash changer also controls the DVD player in the rear when you are in the correct mode.

The DVD player is integrated into a unit that spans from the left side of the vehicle to the right side. On the left side is climate control, in the middle is the drop-down display, and on the right is the DVD player and auxilliary inputs.

I have not noticed much obstruction. Usually less than if my friends were in the back moving around instead of concentrating on a movie.
