I need help understanding the way my Excursion’s stereo is set up. Possibly wiring schematics.
This is what I want to do:
My wife got her new jeep liberty yesterday so we took her Kenwood deck out of it to put in my truck. The deck is Sirius ready and I have the tuner and antenna. It also has the dual zone feature. Will I be able to get the rear audio controls to work with the new deck? I also want to replace the CD changer with a DVD changer. I am assuming Kenwood-to-Kenwood, I will need a Kenwood changer plug.
I want this DVD to power 4 7-8 in. headrest monitors. I am going to replace the rear headrests with full size ones with a built in screen. I would like monitors with IR head phones for each individual monitor. I am going to put at least one XBOX maybe 2 so I want the screen to have two source modes each for switching.
I have bee on eBay looking at monitors and they are cheap but I don’t really know what I am looking at. There are several replacement headrests with monitor that have the wood border that would look really nice in my truck with the limited trim. But I think they might be junk. Does anyone have experience with these types of monitors?
I also want to know if the wireless IR headphones are independent of a certain screen. Can the screens be tuned?

Update:
I've got the Kenwood head unit in and the sirius sat. installed. Im not sure how to use the other harnes from the factory deck to get the rear audio working. I REALLY NEED A SCHEMATIC FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS for my X. If anyone has a PDF version this would be helpfull.
I am looking at purchasing a Kenwood KDV-C810 10 disc DVD changer to replace the factory cd changer. However, the new changer will be thicker than the 6 disc. Does anyone know if i can get a larger bracket to replace the ford one?
I still want this DVD to power 4 7in. headrest monitors. I am going to replace the rear headrests with full size ones with a built in screen. I have decided to use an RF modulator for each audio source and RF headphones. but i don't know if these headphones can select multiple channels and if the modulator has selectable output frequencies. Does anyone have any helpful info on these?
I am also unsure on how to install headrest monitors in the leather. Still not sure on a good high quality LCD with at least two selectable inputs. Any advice on this would be appreciated. |

Hey did you unplug the rear radio controls in the center console? If ya did that's tha cause for the rear speakers not working. I found this out the hard way.

If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out.

the rear speakers work fine. i didn't unplug the rear audio control because i wanted to figure out a way to use the dual zone feature. I can't get it to work so i think i will just replace it with a plate with av inputs and maybe an ac input. is there and aftermarket part i can buy or am i going to have to make one? |
