Now Now, a little testy this morning... I just stumbled onto this post today. I have installed the overhead dvd in my 05 screw. Pics in my gallerie. I made my own wire harness too. You need the part of the wire harness that goes into the dvd player with about a foot of wire connected to it. Where did you get the dvd? are you able to get that part of the wiring harness? What i did, was cut off about 6 inches of that harness, and solder about 8-9 feet of wire onto the plug harness and then solder the 6 inches back onto the end of the new wire so i had the correct color on the other end. Then i found the wire connection be hind the drivers side rear door rear panel. (the panel were the rear seat belt comes out of). i then fished the wiring from the center of the headliner over to the door, then ran it along the top of the door over to the back connection. Then connected the wires to the same color wires found in the panel, then whalla... Good luck...

Depends on the head unit you have. I think if your radio has an aux button on it , you should be fine. If you don't have the aux button, you might be in trouble as far as having the wiring back to the drivers side back seat belt pillar area. I think you can look down inside the seatbelt retractor hole with a bright light and see the 2 plugs where the wires connect. Make sure that you can see all of the wiring colors at those plugs. I went to the dealer service writer and had him print all of the wiring off for the rear entertainment and factory sub woofer connections. then i just spliced into the exact color match and everything worked fine.
