Overhead Console?

I have a 2003 F-250 XLT, that did not come with an overhead console. Does anyone know what it will cost to have one installed? Since it didn't come with one from the factory I will assume that it does not have the wiring, or the mounting bracket there. Can anyone give me some info on aftermarket parts, or will I have to go through Ford for this?

Sure its easy.You have 4 wire to run.Two of which goto the temp sensor and one for power,the other to ground.This guy on ebay sells the whole thing with templet and how to wire them in.You dont even have to remove the headliner,just take off the visors and the little push in things.Then but the wires under the headliner and run them down the a-piller.Then make the conections and your good to go.
Works great.I can get a pic if you want one.

If you need more info let me know.I also can give you the name of the seller on ebay if you need it.
