No different than a CD player, there are power, ground, remote turn on and if it has a TV tuner you have the diversity antenna to mount. There will be audio outputs and maybe another set of video outputs and audio/video inputs. Otehr than this just read the instructions that come with the unit and you'll be fine. ------------- Jeff

so, let me give this a shot. all i need to do is to ground the parking brake wire and i should be able to hook up my tv tuner, dvd player, ps2, or whatever it may be, and still allow them to play while driving. i hope i made some sense. just seeing if i got the right idea from that forum.

You will also need to pulse the foor brake once or twice enabling ( along with grounding the hand brake wire ) the player to display the video. ------------- Jeff

If you are looking for something to perform the foot brake and emergency brake like the Alpine units need, PAC TR-7 is one of the easiest to use. About $19.95 and way easier than using switches. bobz@oceanstereo.com

I have a 2001 Lexus LX 470. It is equiped with the Lexus Navigation and 6 disc DVD changer. I recently had 2 audiovox screens put in the head rests, and a separate audiovox DVD player. Question 1: Can the factory DVD player and navigation be changed to play while driving? How? Question 2: Can the factory DVD be integrated into the screen on the headrests? How? They Screens do have 2 audio/video inputs. One of which is currently being used by the audiovox DVD.
