#4 of 13 A few more things.... by jamesutz Aug 14, 2007 (10:41 pm)
You need to buy the Chrysler DVD Remote Control. I got one on eBay for about $25. We point this remote at the dash to turn on the 6-Disc DVD player and control the DVDs. The kids use it from the back seat pretty easily.   -------- Here's where I decided to spoil the kids --------   I put a PS2 console under the passenger seat and ran it's outputs back along the console to the monitor box. This monitor system has 3 inputs, so I just _had_ to do something...   So, at this point in time, we can run three independent tasks in the car's audio/video system simultaneously   - One or two persons can watch a DVD playing on the car's DVD changer from the back seat. We can choose between playing the audio over the car's speaker system or use the Wireless headphones that came with the monitor system.   - One or two persons can play on the PS2 from the backseat (which doubles as a second DVD player, if they can't agree on what to watch). I installed two Logitech wireless PS2 controllers and keep them in the center console. PS2 sound comes across the Wireless headphones.   - The driver & passenger can listen to a CD or the radio over the car's audio system while all this is happening, assuming the backseat riders are using the Wireless headphones.   Now, all this was less than $800, which may seem like a lot to some folks, but when I investigated "Professional" installations of headrest monitors alone, I was quoted $1200-$1600, and nobody was happy about trying to hook in to the Chrysler DVD Player - Most were pushing the purchase of a new head unit.   I would never consider installing the factory DVD monitor after seeing what is possible with the aftermarket solutions. In addition, prices keep coming down on this stuff and headrest monitors keep getting bigger & better.   James Replies to this message: caliberchic (Aug 15, 2007 8:43 am)

Replying to: jamesutz (Aug 14, 2007 10:18 pm) Hi, In my new pacifica touring 2007 I take off the right side windshield piller and I did not find the DVD player's wiring harness (no 12 pin connector (C204)) !!! Only 2 cables exist : 1 thin and the other is thick. Any idea? Thanks Replies to this message: jamesutz (Aug 22, 2007 9:41 pm) pierremicha (Aug 23, 2007 4:49 am) jmacsellnu (Nov 30, 2007 3:55 pm)

Replying to: pierremicha (Aug 21, 2007 10:12 pm) I dunno...   Did your Pacifica come pre-equipped with the 6-disc DVD changer?   Just to be crystal clear, by "the right side pillar", I mean the one on the passenger side that is located between the windshield and the passenger side window.   James Replies to this message: pierremicha (Aug 23, 2007 4:49 am)

#13 of 13 DVD Player by chypacifica Aug 21, 2009 (5:54 am)
I have a 2005 Pacifica with a 6 disc CD Changer factory unit. I tried connecting the aftermarket monitors that go on the headrests but could not get any video to those monitors. I installed a DVD and heard it fine on the radio speakers but nothing was playing on the monitors. I have seen alot of discussions on here and it sounds like all I need is a wiring harness, is that true?
