Help installing flipdown in 03 Expy

I posted the same question in the audio/video forum but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the same question here.
I need help in the installation of a flipdown monitor in a 03' Expy with rear air and the wire diagram for the o.e.m radio (6 disc indash changer with 4 speaker) for installation of a FM modulator.

Do I need to lower the headliner to install the monitor? If so, how do you go about doing this?

Any info will be very helpfull.

I am trying to remember how I did my bosses exp. I don't think I dropped the whole headliner, but I did have to loosen the pass side. Locating the dropdown was the hardest, but I had a custom bezel so I just had to center it up and find the supports to screw too.

Check this for accuracy, it was all I could find.

For the wiring I ran everything on the pass side, most of it went down the a-pillar and behind the glove box. The FM modulator went to the rear quarter glass, it never sounded good, so try to use an inline modulator.
