DVD player function with new head unit

I want to get a new head unit for my excursion (2004 6.8l) with the factory dvd system. If I get a dvd player head unit, can I let the rear dvd player stand alone and still function through the headphones, and also as an output on my new head unit? I would like a unit the wife can watch from a visor screen and the kids can watch the factory unit through the headphones. I just get to watch the road...

Thanks, I knew it was out there somewhere, but my searches were coming up as dead ends.

Thanks again I now have what I need to do the install myself, so I can just drive in peace while the family is plugged in. I sould wire a headphone jack for the front so I can have my XM over the speakers while everyone else watches the movies, the unit I am looking at has dual zones so that should work...

glad I could help. In the next year I'll be putting in headrest monitors in the rear of the front seats. I have the factory dvd but would not have ordered it on the truck, My truck was the only one exactly the way I wanted it but it had the dvd...it is way way too small in my opinion it should have been a 10" from the facotry. have even thought of how I'll sent it up but now I have the NAV/dvd up front that will play on the rear screen in the aux input and the rear screen can be independant.

These truck end up being like a house....you get one thing/project done and think of two more. the list has a snowball effect....
