Looking at buying the overhead rail DVD system through Fordaccessoriesstore.com. Anyone have this? any thoughts? Is it easy to istall? are you satisfied with it? Thanks

No, Ive always looked at them and asked about it at the dealership but they all seem pretty expensive I have found some on ebay for a lower price.

 

I have them on my new truck and they just snap on to the rails and for me are quite usefull, but the ones from Ford are expensive for what you get and what they do.

 

Do you have a site that offers something similar? Thanks

 

Sorry, I know of no other than Ford OEM as of now.

 

Can anyone tell me how I can tell if I have the DVD Prep package??? It is not on my window sticker but there is a hole in my roof with some wires up there. Not sure if I shouold start pulling the wires out. Thanks

 

Sorry for the delayed response.

My '05 has the OEM overhead rail DVD system. If you are still wanting to find out if you have the wiring paqckage, let me know. I will drop the DVD down off the rails and chck what kind of connector is used.

Do you have the audiophile 6 disk changer in the dash? You need that to run the DVD.

 

I got the DVD wiring added when I ordered my truck. When I remove the one flip down piece that comes with the truck there is a hole in the headliner and a sticker that states it is DVD ready. I reached up there and there are wires and a plug to plug it into...some day.

www.f150store.com has a DVD player but I am not sure if it works with the stereo.

It looks like it uses an FM Modulator.
