If you have an Acura MDX with the factory mobile video unit here is how you can add another screen.

All you'll need is another screen, some RCAs, and a video amplifier.

1. Take out the DVD player by:

    Remove the chrome bezel and wood trim around the shifter and pop of the plastic trim around the DVD player.

    Then remove the screws and pull the player out.

2. The wires you'll need are in the large plug.  Use these wires to tap in your video amp.

12V Constant     WHITE/ blue

Ground               Black

12V Ignitoin       WHITE/ red

Video Signal     Blue/siler dots (third wire form the left with the plug facing you)

Cut the blue/silver dots wire. Cut your RCA cable in half. Now take one of your RCA's and solder the center lead to the blue/silver dot wire coming from the plug and chassis ground the outer leads. Now repeat with the other RCA and monitor side of the blue/silver dot wire.

Now plug the DVD side of the wire into the input of you video amp. Plug the monitor side of the wire into one of the outputs on the amp and plug your rca cable form the new add-on monitor in another output.

Hope that helps some one out.
