I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with the in - dash, 6 disk DVD player and the rear seat 7" flip down video screen. Can anyone give me some guidance on the complexity of this project? Is there a plug-compatible installation where I can install a larger 10" to 15" screen.
Thanks for the help.

I have not seen a plug to integrate into the factory video systems yet. I did have a similar situation a couple of years ago though. It was a dodge van I believe, came with a factory dvd player but no screen. I tapped into the video out from the dvd player and made a set of rca's to go to the new screen. It was a pain, took a couple of hours to figure out which wires to use. I can't remember exactly what I did, I think it was just trial and error. I looked at the plug and took two wires that I thought might be the video out, cut a video rca cord and just ran with it. Probably a real easy way to fry something but it did eventually work. You might check to see if they have wiring diagrams for those things yet, I could not find one for the specific car I worked on. Hope this helps.

Thanks very much. Since there are no controls on the DVD screen, I would have to guess that there is not much going into the screen but video. I know the headset RF is driven by the front deck.
I did find a wiring schematic for the stereo but did not see any hints as to the video signal.
I may just have to wing it like you did. Thanks.
