This was actually extremely easy and works like a charm. I picked up the relay and the female connectors at auto zone. I took the parking brake wire and amp power wire and hooked them up to the relay. Then, I removed the kick panel on the drivers side and there is a good ground there that I just ran a strand of speaker wire which has two wires that I pulled apart at the end and tightened them down on the screw for the ground. Ran the other end up through the dash, split the wire, stripped the wire, added 2 female adapters and connected them to the final 2 pins on the relay. Dvd plays driving down the road now. Thanks for saving me a huge headache!

Lol, that would make sense wouldn't it? Haha, I removed the kick panel to see about tapping into the reverse wire and noticed a good ground, so that's where I did it.
