Hello,

I went to install my Jensen JMV111 11" overhead DVD player in my 2004 Chevy Suburban and I found a black box that I cannot identify. Does anyone know what it is?

I guess I will have to remote the A/C control Pod. Is there a Trim ring for that?

You need to leave the controls there or the rear heat won't work. What i do is remove the controls from the housing then tape them up good so they won't short out. Then i shove the controls and the black box up into the headliner on the passenger side. The black box is also part of the rear heat control.

Also, Audiovox makes a console for that DVD that is custom fit for that truck. It relocates the controls further back. It is custom fit for what you are doing, but IMHO i like it without, just mounting the DVD where the light is like you are doing...

Thanks Mike. I followed your advice and it fits just fine. I'll tell you though- it sure was hard getting the white plastic bracket out that the dome light assembly was hooked up to. It was secured with a pop in type mount in the center that I had to break to remove. Then the cut out in the headliner was smaller than the bracket. But with some coaxing it finally came out. Then I hooked up to the three wire dome light feed and it works great. The only problem is 12+ is constant, even when the car is off.

Yea, you gotta get tough with that plastic piece to get them out. It has two pins in the back that you squeeze together to release it. For power, run the accessory wire down the A pillar on the drivers side to the fuse box. Top row of fuses there is a 25amp marked "wipers". This is a good switched power source.
