You've got several options. You can go with an in-dash tv/dvd player and hook the flip down into that video source or you can keep the stock radio and buy an aftermarket dvd player and hook it up to the flip down monitor OR you can buy an aftermarke cd player/dvd player and replace your OEM radio and hook up the flip down to that. It's up to you but the wiring is pretty easy.

I've done plenty of these so I can help you out!! Don't be afraid to ask questions.
