I just bought a Sony (aftermarket) cd player for my 2004 Chevrolet suburban. I need a wiring diagram for the factory wires coming from the dash. I also have a dvd/tv installed that runs through my player for sound. Is there something extra that I need to do to hook up the Sony player and have sound for my dvd/tv?

I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.

ok , if royr tuner has audio in pu then just plug the audio from the dvd in there and if not then you need a fm modulator.

Jason,

I like that signature. I'd recommend using a wiring harness for your vehicle, which you can get at your stereo shop. You can get a regular harness, and run your own accessory lead, or you can buy a module which supplies an accessory lead (and retains the factory chimes and OnStar functions, etc.).
