If you want to use the factory radio to control DVD functions you need a 2003+ 6 disc. There are products to add preamp inputs to earlier factory radios to make it work, but the DVD system will have to be controlled separately from the radio.

Mounting DVD
With that factory DVD, are their any mounting plates or supports needed?
When I see these things for sale on ebay, they seem to only have two plastic hooks on the rear and a couple of screw holes.
Do these things just screw into the existing roof with maybe 3" Sheetrok screws???
Haha - just kiddin about the screws, but you get what I'm asking.
Thanks

In summary, the bracket you need;
"The part no. for the overhead bracket is 2C7Z-78519K22-AA. Nomenclature is Brkt CNSL RF P. It lists for $152.17 (local dealer tried to sell it to me for $175) but fordparts.com sold it for $115.59 plus shipping. It took about a week or so to get from time of order."
There is quite a bit more info in this thread regarding the OEM DVD install. Regarding the bracket, it is a large chunk of plastic that replaces a smaller chunk of plastic that the original AC controls mount to. A lot of money to pay for a piece of plastic (~ 48" x 36"), but if I had it to do over again, I would still go this route rather than fabricate my own, as I had other headaches to worry about.
Hope this helps,
Les
