I bought this unit...its out of a mega cab....Whats all involved to install a VES factory flip down unit in a mega cab with a sun roof? Does dodge sell a install kit? would the wiring already be there? I have a sunroof ...is there a different headliner needed or does it just get cut to fit? I believe the system was from the same truck...
thanks



this is my headliner

anyone know part numbers or a online place that i could figure them out? ....from what i can find there is the ves thats installed from the factory, then the ves that you can buy and put in after....now is the wiring harness and mounting bracket the same?

thanks

 

anyone have any insight on this? noticed the headliner is dropped on the ones with it installed....is this because of the bracket

 

I'm very interested in how this works out for you. I'd like to do the same in my MC.

 

well i read a post on here that stated the mega cabs already are wired for the rear entertainment...all you need is the brackets.... anyone have there headlinder down before that could confirm this? thanks

 

Good luck with that project! I just had mine out because it stopped working, and Im trying to find a replacement. There is just two screws under the remote and then a large clip that fits that holds the rear part up. I'll pull mine out and take a few photos. How much did you pay for the player? Mine wont play a DVD but will play a CD.

 

paid 200..... Its hard finding out any info on this install....all the dealer list is the player, brackets, head phones, and remote....cant find out what wiring would be in the truck or what i would have to buy....you would think they have something listed if it needed to be replaced by a autobody shop..... If all i needed is to power it up and the head phones would work i would be happy...i dont need it throught the truck speakers....as for the bracket that would be the easy part....

so its just 2 screws? i though it was plastic clips for some reason holding it up...

 

Hope this helps. I pulled mine out to have the player fixed and did some looking around. Here are a few pictures of the bracket, and in between the head liner and the roof. Looks like I have a metal bracket running from the left to right rear doors that the unit mounts to . Also it appears my head liner is different than yours to accommodate this bracket. Remember your sunroof goes back into this space. If you pull the door trim back on the top of the left read door and look in on top you will see a wire bundle that forward to aft. About midway there is a bundle that splits at a 90 deg towards the location of the player. I took a picture of the cord to help identify.
