To install an OEM overhead video you'll most likely have to source a harness from a junker or go to the dealership and take it up the butt for them to install it. My suggestion, pick up a nice aftermarket overhead video. It's easier, and probably cheaper than going factory equipment. I just did an 05 Escalade earlier this week that had sunroof, no video display from the factory. After parts and labor, I think my customer spent like $550 or so, took me just a couple hours. I'll post pics a little later this afternoon.

As far as recomendations, I'm a fan of the Pioneer equipment, although there are a number of quality brands out there. My shop carries Kenwood and Pioneer navigation products, and each has their pros and cons. The Kenwood is nice in that it uses Garmin navigation software and is incredibly easy to use. The down side is that it only has 2 RCA pre amp outs, so if you plan on adding a full system, the Kenwood might not be the best choice. The Pioneer F-series units have great audio interfaces, but are a little slow to load the maps, but are much more detailed in their points of interest than the Garmin-driven Kenwoods. Really all depends on what you're wanting to do with the equipment, either has the potential to sound great, but each does have it's shortcommings.
