Does it.have a bult in.dvd player or.are u using something external...srry on cell phone cant click link Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick:
JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Posted December 30, 2010 ok thanks for taking the time, but yes it has a built in dvd Quote 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.
thorshammer Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Your gonna want a small piece of .25 board to place between the headliner and the roof brace. Use self tappers to secure to roof brace. Dont forget to drill hole in wood to feed wires through. You should be wiring to the preexisting dome light. You may need to run wire to an accessory in which case you'll run wire to driverside and wire into fuse block. Quote
JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Posted December 30, 2010 but if i wire it to the dome light, wont the interior lights have to be on to turn on the unit? or when you open the door it turns on lol Quote 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.
JuggaloGodfather79 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 i dont think so cause as thor said you need to run an accessory wire Quote
thorshammer Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Wiring to dome light makes the lights on the unit turn on and off. The accessory wire is what allows you to use the dvd player and turns on and off with the key. Quote
JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Posted December 30, 2010 oohhhh got it cuz there is dome lights on the unit. ok so then i would run a power to the fuse panel to power the unit on and off.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Posted December 31, 2010 then what do i do to get sound? there is no internal speakers, so would i have to splice into the radio speaker wires? i just cant figure it out cuz then if the radio was on then music and the movie would be playing and stuff.... how does this work?
