going to be putting an Avic-d3 into a 2004 Yukon with factory panasonic overhead with the IR head phones. I understand (and have the wiring diagram for it) how to get the A/V to avic, but I was curious if the power to the overhead is coming from the radio itself. Will I need a special harness to make the head phones work or are they part of the overhead. The overhead has it's own dvd player mounted next to it. I have found that peripherial makes two harnesses for an 07 Yukon to integrate the avic and retain the factory overhead.... any help would be great, thanks
I am also about to do an install of an Avic N-2 to a 2005 Yukon XL with an overhead OEM DVD system and would like to retain functionality of the overhead unit and route audio and possibly video to the Avic.
If I find any info i will let you know.
routing the a/v to the overhead unit is easy, I'll have to look at the wiring diagram to get the colors, but basically you can take a normal a/v cable and cut one end off so you have the pos. and neg. wires showing, then just tap into the correct pos. neg. wires coming from the dvd unit for the video and audio left and right. But I'm stuck on head phones, I don't know the IR and power are through the deck or not.... when find out more i'll post more!
Cool, can u post the wiring diagram for the overhead?
If I find any more info I will let you know.
I just did it on my 05 Yukon XL w Bose system
I used a GMOS-04 interface to retain the onstar and to turn on the bose amp and dvd system. The headphones and player work as normal.
Now to get the Video and Audio out to the headunit required finding the correct leads off the dvd player and running rca's from the headliner to the headunit/brain. The leads for my unit were
dark blue for video
and
brown and black for my audio along with a common ground going to a shielded wire that is pretty easy to spot.
(sorry I did not write down the pin locations on the back of the player).
I hope that helps someone.
