I just wanted to let everyone know who maybe interested in an overhead monitor that the Apline PKG-RSE2 is the only way to go. Everyone that rides in my truck think that the its an HDTV.

 

I have an AVIC D2 in my 05 F150, I am thinking of getting this pkg-rse2. But I need to know if the DVD video is output from the AUX out. I can't seem to locate that info anywhere. The D2 does not play DVD video, and I would like to pipe the video to the headunit if possible. If not, I will have to go another route. Reviews say this overhead package is really nice.

 

I'm pretty sure it is but I don't remember. Give Crutchfield a call and ask them, they will know. I have mine connected to my Z2 but I didnt use the aux video to go back to the head unit.

 

Yes it does. When I had my AVIC-Z2, I had the DVD going both ways to and from.

 

I know it's been a while since you posted on this thread, but yesterday I impulsively bought an overhead rail system on eBay to put in my 08 F150 that didn't come with one originally. I haven’t received it yet, so I can’t say what it comes with. For starters, am I going to need a new headliner or can I just cut holes in my existing one? Does it anchor to any metal in the roof structure or just to the molded headliner? Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Sorry I'm so late responding but I couldn't even tell you. If you've figured this out please let me know b/c I'm curious to know.

 

I really like the installation... Alpine is my choice for my needs... Looks very sharp... Well Done...

 

Thanks. The video is amazingly clear

 

bump for the new truck owners who may be interested in this mod

 

I'm bumping this thread b/c I've seen a few guys installing head rest and overhead monitors lately
