    This video would be great if it was shown where to plug into the harness on the truck. 😅

    I have a question. After moving the pins to the correct locations... do I just wire the other wires into the back of the head unit... I was unable to see the back of your unit so I couldn't verify. Trying to make sure ionly have to use one butt connector instead of 4 or 5 on one wire

    So, does the DVD play from the unit or the DVD player? Just trying to clarify.

    Just did this on my 03 Excursion over the weekend with a Pioneer 8200 Nex head unit. Works like a charm now. Thanks for the video.

    @smalltowndetails5818 9 месяцев назад

    I have a 03 expedition that has the factory dvd and also the factory subwoofer and I’ve been playing with the idea of installing a aftermarket head unit so my question is did you have to do anything else to retain the functionality of the factory sub or not?

  • @AdamDefisher
    @AdamDefisher 9 месяцев назад

    So the wires that you put in the clip for the RES. Do you splice in to the main speaker wires?

    Great video!! Can you give some details on how you wired the radio side of the harness please? Also, how did you get the steering wheel controls to work? Thank you!

    • @MotorLeague
      @MotorLeague 6 месяцев назад

      Just re-wired mine to a pioneer head unit 8200 nex and it works great. You wire the 12v acc to a red acc power wire and then the ground to a ground wire. The red and white rca Audio plugs go to the audio ports in the back of the head unit, then you select AV as the source on the head unit for Audio from the dvd player. I had to use a steering wheel adapter from axxess to keep my wheel controls functioning. That’s also super easy to install.

  • @derekowens8799
    @derekowens8799 3 года назад

    Great video. I have a question, I lost steering wheel and aftermarket head unit control for the volume of the DVD player. Can you explain which wires I need to regain that control or how to wire that back up? The wiring harness from my head unit has 2 steering wheel audio controls, I can control the radio volume from the one, is there a pin I need to reword to regain audio for the DVD player?

  • @marknichols6106
    @marknichols6106 3 года назад

    Cory Great video but I have a question . I have a 2001 Ford Excursion which I am about to start on a radio upgrade project. The factory radio also has the second 20 pin amp jack going to the back of it with only three wires in it. I believe this somehow controls the speaker control module at the back of the center console for the center row seating ( no dvd on my excursion). I assume your same methodology will work but I am a little fuzzy on where these three wires end up landing on the back of the new modern double din radio. Can you give me your thoughts?

    Corey, thank you for the video. It appears my ground and power for the dvd unit is working with the head unit but no pictures. When I play the dvd with the front head unit the video does not run to the display and it just shuts off. Any ideas wha this may be? Sound comes through fine with the speakers but no good on a video feed. Any help is greatly appreciated

  • @uniquetoyz6215

  • @uniquetoyz6215
    @uniquetoyz6215 3 года назад

    Hey Corey. Does this allow you to control the DVD player too or does it just feed sound in? Also you mention the RCA connection. Is this for sound?

    • @outlawcrx
      @outlawcrx 3 года назад

      I did this mod yesterday. It just send power and ground to the rear entertainment system, The dvd player works the tv and the lower controls in the back of the console work as well.the in dash radio doesn’t control any part of it other than if you mute the radio it’ll mute the RES also. I have ti turn the radio volume down while a movie is playing cause both will come through at the same time while a movie is playing.

  • @chualarbill

    METRA updated their wiring harnesses. You now need special tools to remove the pins. FYI.

  • @scholarshipfund8220
    @scholarshipfund8220 3 года назад

    I think Metra has done something different with their connectors because the pins will not come out as you describe.

  • @nicholasfreeman4897
    @nicholasfreeman4897 4 года назад

    In addition to asking where in the factory harness you tied that blue wire to for steering control - Did you tie your rca cables into the speaker wires? I have rca outputs for an amp but of course if I connect to those there is no volume control. Thanks

  • @nicholasfreeman4897

    Corey, Thanks for a great video. Were you able to keep headphones function on the rear DVD system with this setup? I’m not sure if the headphone connections come straight from the rear DVD to the headphones or if they integrate into the factory radio. Thank you!
