This video would be great if it was shown where to plug into the harness on the truck. 😅
How is it connected to the radio?
thanks Corey
I really want to keep the factory dvd working for the kids
Hey Corey do you know if it's the same for a Ford expedition 2007
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
Glad I found this video. Thanks for sharing!
Now would I be able to play the same movie on both screens at the same time
Yes if you have a by pass kit. I have one for my boss double din head unit was 11 bucks and can watch movies
Thank you
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.
Hello Corey, I have the same Excursion as you do in the video or maybe I don't where did you plug the RCA off the harness?
Where did you tie in the steering wheel control into?
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?
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!
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.
Would be great if we could actually see what wired come off of what rather then your hands.....
You da man! Thank you!
Thanks for the info man. Saved my butt today at work.
Do you still need to use a steering wheel control box to use the steering wheel controls?
Where do the rca cables connect to and where do the 2 additional wires connect to? Did I miss this in the video?
Can you input video from the factory DVD player to the new head unit so the front and rears seats can watch both screens simultaneously?
Without taking apart my dash. Will this work on an 05 f150 as well? Everything the same? Thanks for your time. Great detailed video regardless if it works for mine or not.
Question do I need to buy a dvd player stereo or the dvd that comes stock its gonna work like factory?? If that is the case can I buy just 7 inches stereo without dvd payer??
What Pioneer radio did you use on this video?
Good job . I'm having trouble with the stock radio I'm not getting any audio any ideas?
Is there a factory diagram? Also I have a pioneer stereo I have Axxess a sec-1 having a lot of trouble with it’
Me too caution amp overload
Where'd you get the screw driver from. I assume it's a set.
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?
Thank you for this video. I did this to my 03 excursion yesterday and it worked just like you said.
Does this work with navigator?
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?
I need to do the same thing on a 07 expedition....any advice
This has been exceptionally helpful! Any chance you know what the other wires on that particular harness do? I can't find anything about them online
After purchasing this kit I found my blue single wire on the DVD harness to be 5 pins left of the one in the video.
It's hooked up just like you described, it works but the sound is very low and it will not turn up
My 2005 EX's factory head unit can forward/rewind/skip ect. the factory DVD system. Can't see the screen to know what you are doing but it does control it's features. I appreciate the video!
I watched one of your videos 🤣🤣
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
Corey. Got my unit and Metra harness. Question; does the DVD unit stay on or will it shut off as it does already when not in use?
It works just finished mine today. Thanks
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?
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.
METRA updated their wiring harnesses. You now need special tools to remove the pins. FYI.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Can someone tell me why my headphone jack doesn’t work on my ex I tried to enable and it wouldn’t work
I think Metra has done something different with their connectors because the pins will not come out as you describe.
Hi can you pls answer this question I have a 2005 ford explorer with overhead factory DVD player i replace the factory stereo with a double din and now the factory dvd player dont work i purches the metra 70-5520Av to retain the factory dvd but it didn't work only turns on for 3 to 5secs but has power cuz i can put a dvd in and out but the screen just turns on for few seconds can you pls tell me what to do there is noooo video for a ford explorer 2005 with overhead factory DVD player here on youtube
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
Thanks for the video. Where do you tie the steering wheel control wire into?
Hey man you think I can do that to a toyota sienna with rear entertainment dvd? I'm not getting any sound I just installed a aftermarket head unit and the harness only can with two connectors that fit I just need to figure out with wire goes to those speakers any tips will be appreciated.
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!
I have the same problem anybody figured it out?
