I have an '06 Pacifica Touring AWD with the DVD player (OEM) in the dash and the car has no screens to play DVD's. I have found OEM screens for the headrests but need to know if the wiring is allready there. Any help would be great.

 

the factory screen is mounted to the roof

 

Would the wiring be in the headliner already?

 

I am purchasing a 2005 pacifica and have been trying to figure this out myself...would be interested in knowing the answer to this as well.

 

I have never seen any wiring there in the PAC or the Vans. To be sure, you can pull the DVD player and see if it has an open socket on the back.
Also.. you have to make sure you have the correct screen because there are 2 types of systems.... on that used IR headphones and one that use RF headphones.

This can also be identified also when the DVD player is out. There is a pin-out diagram on top of the player.. one specifically identifies IR out. The IR systems have a red plastic panel on the trim of the screen housing that faces the rear seats. The RF screen does not have the red plastic panel.

Be prepared to pay about $300 for the IR harness and about $150 for the RF harness.

As mentioned, if you don't have the monitor there isn't any harness. You'll have to buy one and the prices above seems to be about right. See if you can locate one at a junk yard.

 

Here's what you want:

Note that the '04-'06 7-inch set-up is about 200 bucks less than the later 8-inch kit.

 

Not to discount what others have said but for at least the 04-06 and maybe even 07's you need to get the right screen and cable that match your DVD changer. There are 2 types. I have seen this happen many times on forums where the OP get a screen and harness and it does not work correctly. He either has to sell it or eat the cost which is not cheap. There is a possibilty that it will work ok if not using the headphones but why not get the correct parts so that if need, the headphones will work? Do a search on this forum for people that have had isues adding screens.. (search DVD headphones) the problem are out there. You can check pacifcaworld.com as well.


NOTE.. I read the original post more carefully.... not sure what is meant by OEM screens for the headrests as Chrysler did not make these. Or do you mean after market screens made into OEM headrests? Also.. is this a DVD player built into Am/fm radio as there was a few of these or is it a 6 disc changer separate from the radio? In any event, you will have to determine which changer you have and if you are using just the screens in the headrests, there is a website that lists connectors only typically with a foot pigtail. You maybe be able to add to this cable for the video portion with the correct shielded cable. The headphone thing still applies here if you want to use them.

I made up a harness myself using a Mopar repair plug and RCAs. I just sent one to a guy in florida along with instructions and a dash tool that doesn't mark up the plastic You can also use the power from the DVD player as well. I connected the screen, 900mhz transmitter, video distribution amp, and a 3" screen for the front passenger. I plan on making more of these adapters. Sometimes there is a half cable that runs from the DVD to the right A-pillar.
You can connect any screen or headphones you want to any Pac with the right stuff.
