Hi.. I need a setup like below...

I just got an indash dvd and indash lcd screen and another headrest screen for my van.

I want two screens shut off automatically when I turn off the dvd.

what type of relay Do I need. and what is the best place to get them for a reasonable price. any specific power/current ratings for this type of relay?

another question

If I decide not to use a relay then, to what wire should I connect the dvd and lcds power wires 12v constant or 12v acc. and what is the best way to connect them. at the fuse or tap in to cigarrete lighter or something..

sorry I'm new to this and car electronics so pardon If something doesn't make sense in my post.

Does the dvd player have a remote turn on lead coming from the wiring harness?

Thanks. But I'm still not sure about the following questions from original post

what type of relay Do I need. and what is the best place to get them for a reasonable price. any specific power/current ratings for this type of relay?

Is 12vdc 30amp spdt relay will work... That's the only one I see on radioshack.. If other than that where can I get it and what amps etc...

another question

If I decide not to use a relay then, to what wire should I connect the dvd and lcds power wires 12v constant or 12v acc.

also from your picture... how will my set up be... ? I'm guessing remote turn on led wire from dvd will be connected to terminal 86 and lcd screens power wire will be connected to terminal 30? I'm novice and learning so want to make sure before I blow up anything..
