Have the lady bring in her factory radio, and plug it back in if the TV doesn't turn on without it.  Check to see what wires are getting power and make sure that they power up with the radio unplugged.  With the TV powered up take a "computer safe" test light (I use the Snap-On one) and check the wires until you find one that causes the picture to jumble when testing.  This will be your video lead.  To get your audio leads grab a speaker and test the wires until you get audio. 

The easier way would be if you have a contact at a dealership and they could get you a schmatic of the plug.

in the small 4-6 pin plug there is a lt GREEN/ or lt GREEN/ purple the needs 12v to turn the overhead on.  You can make it really hot by integrating factory audio at the same plug for factory dvd.  You can also itegrate video both ways if you pull the factory overhead down and solder into the wiring up there.

Installers will put it anywhere!
