Overhead DVD Installation

Has anybody installed an overhead DVD video system. If so where did you put it and how difficult was the installation. Do you have any pictures?
Thanks

Dear 3Kiddad,

In the event that you do own an F150 with a rail please call Brandmotion at 877-276-6456. We carry a DVD player custom fit to the rail!

If you watch Circuit City and Best Buy, they often run specials on the overhead DVD systems. Which usually includes FREE installation. And they install at the same place the OEM overhead DVD players are installed. A very nice system from them runs in the neighborhood of $600 to $700.

y2kfordparts: What do you do with the controls for the aux. air? I'm going through the same issues.

Additionally, has anybody ever installed a double-din stereo in an Excursion?

Thanks,

Arch

Sorry I wasn't clear....

In the little picture of the tan interior you posted above, where you have the DVD mounted, I have air-cond. controls. It's a pod with three ***** for the rear AC.

(I think that link will work)

That picture provides an interesting solution....

Thanks again,

Arch

I have the stock dvd and have not used it more than once....

IF I were going to do it I most certainly would do after-market -

bigger screens - more options - cheaper price - -better technology - free installs....
but other than that

You can just remove it and use the upper front ones to control the back. At least in my 2000, they are just duplicate controls of the upper front that only work when the front one is on "rear control". Or, better yet, you can disconnect the front ones throw that in the garage "save it stack", move the rear controls to the front, and then you won't have a "read control" setting on the one set of controls that are left. That's what I did when I installed my overhead dvd system.
