Also, another problem with this install is that if the owner decides to go with another mfg for the drop down DVD, they most likely can't because now the headliner's cut too close to the leading edge of the sunshade bracket. Most dropdown DVD brackets are located approximately on the center of the DVD trim ring; oh well.

I saw that you had drilled the sunshade bracket first but then how did you determine where to drill on the bracket, shouldn't you rather have drilled through the bracket then onto the sunshade bracket?

@xianrhee It's not that complicated. You need to run constant power, preferrably directly from batter, and the other from switched power in the fuse box. You can use a Busmann Little Fuse adapter, and run ground wire. To hardwire the audio to aux, run some RCAs from the headliner down behind aux port. I am very particular about these type of installs and I rather do it myself, taking time, and using solder, heat shrink tubes, and pop rivet gun rather than screws.

I don't understand why people buy a $40K car and then put a cheap aftermarket overhead DVD unit that may work several years that quit. Believe me, been there done that. Pay a little more for one that was installed from the factory that's covered under vehicle's bumper to bumper warranty. If you really need one, then go with universal headrest units. This way you can replace it easily if they die. Just not a good idea to be taking chance with the installer screwing something up like airbags.
