does the video play to the screens if your are playing videos from phone or usb?
Do you recommend any other DVD compatible radios?
@jamienorris4880 Pioneer is the best. Everytime I veer from Pioneer the audio quality and adjustability is garbage.
What's the part number
@provobeastaudio does the apple CarPlay videos show up on the screen? Will that harness allow non dvd radios to stream to the screens?
Great video. You're the man. I had a professional install my radio. He acted like i had ten heads when i asked him if he could get the rear monitor to work too. I'm glad i found your video. The harness cost me 20 bucks and thanks to you it took ten minutes to install
Great tip about checking that the screens work before doing the swap. It’s an easy step to forget!
Thank you, we just had an aftermarket head unit installed, when quoted we were told no problem keeping all factory features including the rear entertainment. This was a main focus on the purchase, after installation they said there are no products to support the rear entertainment, so im not overly impressed with the update and service from our installation company. The deck has the aux plugs so this should be possible. Im assuming they didn't have the additional module or harness. This is a very helpful video for anyone prior to shopping with suppliers.
This is my favorite video. I’ve been looking for a new radio for my ‘12 suburban and keep my dvd/backup cam. 🎉🎉🎉
Did you keep your backup cam ? Please tell me how ?
@@InterceptorMx103 I did end up keeping my back up cam. I went with a different double din with apple play so I can have gps on my phone.
@@the1.87 how did you wire the oem camera ?
@@InterceptorMx103 oh I didn’t. I brought it to a shop.
Great video, im jealous of the 3rd row monitor 😊
what about a 2005 silverado with factory fold down dvd player?
Thanks for the info. My 2010 denali just blacked out on the head unit and I'd rather update the head unit while retaining the DVD feature for my kids.
No Bluetooth in 2010 denali
I have a Sony system that I bought that does not have a DVD player but it does have HDMI inputs how can I get around the parking brake having to be set?
I appreciate your videos I've had my system installed for about a year and thought I had lost my two rear screens but I'm hoping the harness I just bought will allow that to work but I really would love to bypass the parking brake
I’m running into a little bit of a stump right now I’m working on a 2007 Ford Freestar I’m trying to figure out what harness I need to grab to have have a touchscreen and still have the rear flipped down monitor
They you for making video very informative and SIMPLE 😂 EXCELLENT video
@ProvoBeastAudio have you run across an issue where the rear flip down screen doesn't turn off? Everything works but the screen remains on if the battery is connected. *Vehicle is a 2009 GMC Denali. Using the CRUX SOOGM-16 + Axxess GMRSAV. Everything works except the screen won't turn off.
Nice upgrade from factory radio, but did you know you can retain the factory usb plug-in (if you have one) without any adapter... Yup, right under the centre console tray, just unplug the factory usb cable under the centre cupholder area and plug in the usb cable from the radio.
what is the factory usb plug in used for?
Yes, with the Pac USB-GM1 harness: amzn.to/3h3HowD
Wired Carplay / USB access / charging off the new radio.@@yousufkan6960

Thank you. Very well explained...
What wires are getting run into the orangish plug coming from the vehicle? And do you have a video of hooking it up?
What about 05 suburban? I can't find one for that yr. Bose speakers, no nav/onstar
I have a 2009 yukon denali. The harness doesn’t work. I’ve read that it’s because I have a built in nav. Any suggestions? Please and thanks

I have an 08 suburban ltz.. believe have the same thing did u ever figure it out .. I wana grab a new radio but wana keep using the tv for my kid
@@notlow_mikeySame here. Let me know if you find a new radio and if you make it work.
Went to buy the stereo and it says it will not fit my 2012 Tahoe. Is there a modification that needs to be done to make it fit?
Will this stereo support the DVD playing in the back and radio for the driver ?😊
I'm wondering the same
I’m also curious
Me to please
No. Unless I'm doing something wrong but no it doesn't
Hey so has anyone ran into the issue where you pull apart the factory head unit only to find out it’s got a very big connecter? I ordered everything for 2012 and up but nothing that I ordered even connects to the factory harness
My 08 suburban has a screen but does not have the gray connector
Can you have carplay on the front screen and play something else on the other screens?
Will the factory screens operate exactly as they do with the factory radio? Specifically, if a DVD is playing or you are streaming, can you turn on music while the head unit plays a video and the headphones are playing the audio of what is on the screens? Hope that makes senses sense..
Unfortunately no. Also, not sure if it's something I did wrong but the flip down screen stays on as soon as the radio turns on.
Can you go over the 2015 and newer? This connector does not work for 2015 and newer
Awesome 👍. I'm looking to see if this can be done on my 2008 Honda Odyssey EX?
I agree, except 2008 honda pilot
Wanting to do this install on my 2010 suburban, have the same pioneer head unit used in the video. My Question/concern is after doing the install am I able to display a movie on the rear screens while having my apple CarPlay displayed on the head unit itself? Or will the rear screens display whatever is showing on the head unit?
I also have this question.
Did you ever find out the answer?
I have the same question. Anyone find out the answer?
Yes for anyone with this question. This is radio dependent, but most major brands will allow you to overlay your carplay while playing a DVD or other AV source. It doesn't mirror the front radio. Once again, depends on the radio manufacture, but especially with Pioneer, it works just fine. You can even take it a step further and go with a unit equipped with "dual zone' capabilities that allow you to play two different sources (two audio sources) separate on the radio (front seats / channels with different audio than the rear DVD / channels).
Yep, see my response.@@haleighbentsen512
Can I do this on a 2007 honda odyssey?
I have the exact same radio and car. My installer said that it was impossible to keep my av in the rear and that my headphones won’t work anymore. I showed him this video and he said it was not real. Can you help?
What’s the head unit and harness?
I can’t get the video to work while the truck runs, when the ignition is just ACC it works dvd but when running it doesn’t, what’s a trick for that
Depends on the radio, depends on how you have everything wired. Lots of variables.
Can you stream CarPlay / android auto to the fold down screens?

Hi. I have a 2008 Navigator and want to make sure the rear entertainment works. The harnesses listed do not show one for Lincoln. Would you please indicate one. I want to upgrade my radio but do not want to lose the rear screen. Thank you. Are DVD units better in the event the rear dvd acts up.
How can i put a original screen stereo to a suburban 2010 did don’t have screen just a regular stereo
Me puedes ayudar te lo agradecería tengo una chevrolet traverse ltz 2010 quiero actualizar el estereo me puedes ayudar que kit de arnes tengo que comprar
do the rear tvs play with only dvds on the aftermarket stereo ? or can i play youtube on the stereo & it’ll play on the rear tvs
This is similar to what I need done to my 2004 Excursion. Car Toys said it could not be done, but I need an upgraded radio that will work with an upgraded dvd player. My dvd player stopped working about a year ago. The stock radio if fine, but we want to upgrade with bluetooth. Both radio and dvd will need to be integrated with the car speaker system and steering wheel buttons. Do you have a video that will show how to do this along with what type of radio and dvd player?
Can you post some other compatible options for a 2008 Chevy Tahoe with factory dvd? Thanks!
So I just installed the same radio in 2015 town and country. How do I get into the ves settings so I can change it to allow the video to continue playing and listen to the radio at the same time
Would you still be able to control the two back screens independently of one another ? One screen with dvd and the other screen with the RCA inputs?
Does this keep the phone call functionality? And can you still control everything with the steering wheel?
All bluetooth is accommodated via the new radio anyways, and yes, steering wheel control, bose, factory camera, etc etc all retained.
Does it still work while you drive?
When you use the DVD player will the dash screen always be on or can you change it so your gps or music any other screen without the back screen cutting off
Depends on the radio and what the radio will output when not using the DVD player.
and the reverse camera and reverse sensors are going to be working?
Yes, but that depends on the radio harness adapter you choose to use in your install.
GM only, and then very specific models. It's rocket science for no reason.
Hi, is the pac rp5 gm31 still the best wire harness for a 2008 GMC Yukon Denali w/ nav.
Also can I split the rca or add HDMI output to add two head rest monitors? And if so what do you recommend to do the job...?
Would this harness work for a 2007 dodge grand caravan ? If not is there one that would work ?
I didn’t see the previous video you mentioned linked in the description.

I recently purchased an android headunit. I can't get the overhead monitor to work. Is for a 2012 Chrysler Town & Country. Do I need any special wiring?
Does this work for 04 suburbans
Factory Backup camera wiring harness for 2009 GMC ACADIA?
This process should work on a 2007 trailblazer ss with a monitor in the back right? I didnt see it mentioned but i’m assuming it should right?
I got on y’all’s website and can’t find the harness. How do I order one?
Amazon
What can I do if I have a new Sony to go in my 2006 Cadillac Escalade escalade but I want to retain the The factory TV &C D changer.
Is there one for a 2017 Toyota Sienna with similar features?
Is this all the same for a 12 dodge ram
I have a question I have an Escalade and purchased a Tesla style android head unit. I’m looking to add rear monitor and I want to know if it can be done
Does Honda Odyssey(2009) have this option as well? I can’t seem to find anything online or videos for that matter.
Does anyone know if you need GMRSAV-2 for a 2011 Suburban? I am using the GMRSAV and I get no video output on either of my overhead screens. They are on, but just a black screen. I have confirmed that the RSE VIDEO IN and VIDEO OUT on my JVC works by streaming to an external monitor. I have tired hitting the AUX button on the remote, but this doesn't do anything.
I have the Alpine ILX-507 which has a HDMI in and out. I need the rear screens to mirror iPhone.
How can I make this work? RCA to hdmi adapter??
HDMI is considred protected media, and may not work. The ILX 507 may not have a HDMI output.
crutchfield says this radio wont fit my 13 tahoe which should be the same as the model in the video because of depth. clearly it fits ,any input on that issue ?
or how to turn off the allways on cig ports?
They are hard wired to the fuse box. To "turn off" a power socket, you will have to add an in-line switch.
Is there something similar for a toyota jbl RES for 2006 sequoia?
Do they make one to keep it working on the 2015s?
Do you have an adapter for a 2008 Jeep commander?
Can you tell me how i can do that on my honda odyssey 2008?
Hello what all would I need to do this in a 2004 gmc Yukon
Sure, you'd need the Pac RP5-GM11 as that harness carries the audio output from the rear DVD screen for your new radio.
I got the 240ex but I don't get video on mines do you recommend something else
Do you have any videos for how to replace my Yukon radio? 2013 Yukon Denali with factory navigation, dvd rear entertainment, sirius xm, onstar, bose speakers.
Yes, tons. All on our channel. We have a few different variations.
I have a 2007 Cadillac Escalade that doesn’t have that extra grey connector is there another way to connect the stock tvs to a aftermarket android stereo ?
I'm sure there would be, but you would have to find out how the factory OEM screens are sending / receiving their audio and video signals.
Just did a Cadillac video here: ua-cam.com/video/-wmyla4nrZk/v-deo.html
Do they have this for a 2007 honda odyssey??? Does anyone have a solution for the Odyssey???
Does the rear seat controls on the center consoles above the rca cables still work? i.e heat seaters, climate controls etc
Yep, those are not controlled by the radio.
I just bought a Denali with two screens and I’m getting an error when trying to play a dvd that says “viewing of front seat video source is strictly prohibited while driving” on ALL screens. Any advice?
Use parking brake bypass
Or connect parking brake wire to ground
That would surely work 😊
Your radio doesn't allow for video playback while in motion on the new radio, but can still display that image on the rear screens. It's a liability thing for the radio manufacture. There are ways to bypass that warning, but depends on the radio manufacture. Pioneer / Alpine will need a bypass relay (see my videos for that), most other brands, the parking brake wire can simply be grounded.
Hi, will I be able to keep flip down monitor working on a cheap Chinese double din stereo. Stereo is installed and working perfectly except not on flip down monitor.
Just to add, it doesn't have red yellow or white connector ports on cheap double din stereo.
Yeah, you may need a better radio.
The back of my radio has V1 and V2 video outputs..would i just plug in the yellow output cord to the V1 port or V2?
I have the DDX6.9 double din radio.
Either one!
@@ProvoBeastAudio thanks man💪🏾
I want an Android screen for a 2014 Yukon SLT
Any tips on achieving this outcome in a 2004 Lexus?
Thanks.
I have the Jensen CAR8000 and the PAC ch4- 11. I want to keep factory camera and the VES system, on a 2009 Routan SE.
what other adaptor do I need?
Is there a way to upgrade the rear monitor to something bigger and retain the stock head unit?
It would require a bit of manual wiring as there isn't an adapter to integrate an aftermarket flip down with the factory radio, so you essentially would need to find the video signal sent from the factory radio, slice into that signal and integrate an RCA cable for video, and supply that to your new screen. Will be much more of an involved process.
ThNks you for the video. Do you have any videos on how to wire the existing dvd player into a aftermarket radio ?
Well, per your question, this video is exactly that.
Can you watch shows while in drive?
Yes...but depends on the radio.
@ProvoBeastAudio can you send a link on the radio that works from the front screen and plays in rear . And motion bypass as well .
what about for the original rear view camera??? is there a kit for it to??
Yes, depends on your year GM. The Axxess AXBUCH-GM29 fits 2006-11 and the Axxess AXBUCH-GM2 Fits 2012 and up to retain your factory backup camera.

Does the ground have to be on the chassis of the radio or can I find another ground somewhere near it? I don’t have any screws on my radio to ground that loop to..
To the ground of your radio harness is fine.
@@ProvoBeastAudio ok will it still pick up video if it’s not grounded? I know u said it’s suggested
Any advice for this issue in a 2005 Durango?
2006 suburban z71
Where can I find the video hornist at?
Are you able to keep playing the movie in the rear with headphones while the driver listens to music?
It depends on the radio, with that function, you will want a radio with "dual zone" capability, which allows you to play two sources in two different locations at the same time.
@@ProvoBeastAudio - Can you recommend some radios that do this?
Is possible to play music up front and still play the dvd in back like factory?
Yes, with radio's equipped with "dual zone" capabilities.
yall have a video for a 2008 Mazda 5?
Question. My middle flip down is showing and working good but the last one on the 3rd row seat is not showing anything but a black screen. Am I forgetting to connect anything eles to make it work?
Same problem I’m dealing with..
Hey all, here is the solution - If your 3rd row isn't working, you will need the Pac version of the harness as it's pinned for the 3rd row screen. Often times they are not in parallel with the 2nd row. This video on this Cadillac shows that process: ua-cam.com/video/-wmyla4nrZk/v-deo.html
IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE THE DVD PLAYER FROM REAR DVD PLAYER AND DISPLAY IT ON THE FRONT CAR STEREO?
Yes in the gm vehicle with this harness as long as your radio has an av input.
Great video did that grey harness came whit that pac5-gm31 or did you had to purchase separately?
Purchased separately. Linked in description!
Can this be done on a 2011 Sienna?
Would y’all happen to have one for a 2004 Tahoe z71?
Ever find the answer to this?
@@boladagr8692 Unfortunately no :(
Your generation has the onboard DVD system already, and all you need is a harness that passes the audio through the vehicle to the new radio. The Pac RP5-GM11 has those audio outputs for your new radio to keep the audio working from the rear screens.
Hello. I have a pioneer avh-z5200dab radio and a Chinese headrest monitor. The radio has a video output. If I connect this additional monitor, will it display a movie or something from the sd card?
The radio's video output will display any video shown on the screen of the radio, so in theory, yes.
Will this work for a 2004 ford
With the right harnesses, yes.
Been looking for a harness for it. It seems like there isn’t one for a 2004 Eddie Bauer expedition unless you can point me in the right directions
can you show us how to do this and also keep the factory back up cam?
See the radio install video for details on how to retain the factory camera. link in description.
Question are you here in Utah
Answer - yes.
does this tell us how to keep the stock back up cam, it looks like u hardwired it or something?
That is covered in the radio install video linked in the description of the video.
