I have an overhead DVD player from a wrecked 04 Excursion, I want to install it into my 04 F350. It has a 20 pin connector, I cannot find any wiring info on it, even from the dealer. The 12 pin deal seems to be an easy install using an FM modulator, I suppose the addl. wires are for the wireless headphones. Any ideas from anyone?

 

Is it a dealer installed DVD or Factory installed?

 

It was factory installed in the Excursion, I have the unit that hangs from the headlined and I want to put it in my F350, that is why I need the wiring info.

 

 

WOW, looks like the illumination, power and ground wont be a problem, I will still have to figure out how to wire everything in, will an FM modulator work????
Thanks for the help,
Bill

 

I dont know, I dont play with riggings, just the factory original stuff... its plenty of work just to keep the original stuff working.. LOL

Im sure there are a lot of people who have done something similar on this forum. The only thing I see you may have a problem with is the ACP protocol network, but Im sure someone knows a work around.

 

Do you have anything that gives a description of the remaining wires or do you know if there is just a factory harness I could get from the dealer?

Thanks for your time!

 

Most factory harnesses these days come with the headliner. Its glued down to the headliner. That page was the only page shown for the DVD. Now I know the dealer installed unit has two connectors, one on each side of the unit. It is an all black unit. Factory has a large plastic console almost the width of the headliner on Excursions that I have seen and color keyed to the headliner. The dealer installed unit is only about 12 inches by 18 inches.
If it were a dealer installed unit you could probably get a wiring loom from the dealer and yes it uses an FM modulator.

 

can anyone tell me what those sideways "figure 8" symbols on the drawing mean?

 

It indicates a twisted pair to reduce crosstalk and interferance.

 

does it look like 16 and 18 are together as one connection as well as 6 and 8, 15 and 17, 5 and 7.
