dvd electrical prep package

Does anyone know where I can purchase a DVD electrical prep package for an OEM rail DVD player for an 2005 f150.

I made mine... If you have the plug that goes into the dvd player, it's not hard. I was lucky my dvd player came with the plug and about 10 inches of wire. You better check to see if your truck is partially wired. The wiring is in the drivers rear door pillar. You will have to remove the rear seat belt hanger etc. and pull that panel off and check the plug connector to see if it's full of wires, (alot of wires,19 i think just for the dvd). if you have the wiring, i can get you a part number for a roof wiring harness that you can make work. This harness is for the truck that my dvd player came out of. I will post it shortly.

Here is a copy of that info.

You can buy a harness. Here is a part number for the harness that was specifically for the truck that the dvd player came out of. (5L3Z-14335-MA). List price was $85.00. I had the parts dept. run the VIN number of that truck and thats the whole roof harness. The harness had wiring for a sun roof, but not the rear power slider. What i was going to do was buy that harness and just swap the pins out in the plug connector. The wires are color coded and match up perfectly. I pulled the door seal down and was able to fish the wiring over to it real easy. There is a spot at the "B" pillar that is a straight shot over to the center of the overhead rail system. Then there is enough room next to the edge of the headliner to run it to the back "C" pillar plug location. I used an old car antenna to push under the headliner to the center of the rail and taped a rope to it and pulled that back for a pull rope.
