Thank you.
They have atleast 2 wires or sometimes three. Red- Positive and black-negative or for 3 wires yellow- battery, red- switch and a black wire - ground.
Then usually 3 RCA jacks ; yellow - video , red - right audio, white - left audio. If there is only 1 set then they usaully are inputs, if 2 sets then one is input and other set is output.
If it has built dvd player you dont have to worry about the rca jacks. Or if you have a stock radio you wont use them. Some overheads do have a built in FM module so you can tune your radio to a station to play sound through your radio.
To mount, they usually have plates you slide on the other side of your headliner and screw into that. Mine did not, so I went to lowes got a small piece of wood paneling and cut just a bit bigger then the drop down then screwed into that.

I have 35 inch Falken Wildpeaks on my truck and love them. Like said earlier.... They are quiet, ride great, and have a great looking pattern. I've been offroad with them too and they handled great.

Interested in the rear window install!
Any chance you can give a bit more detail on taking old one out and putting new one in?
Where did you put the switch?

I ordered the switch from dealership and got lucky found a cover just had to paint it to match. Ebay is your friend and after I was done I found the switch with cover for cheap.
The window was not bad at all. I did it by myself and took time because I was alittle nervous. Pretty simple just undo the nuts around the inside of the window. I left 1 nut on each side because I didn't want the window slamming out of the truck. with the glue it will not go anywhere. just push from the inside start with one corner. the glue is really sticky and messy. once you get the window out, the new one is simple make sure the new one has the adhesive or glue or weather stripping (not sure what it is called). If it is not like mine, I went to NAPA and picked it up comes in a roll. Put that on the new window and place it on the truck. I tightened down the bolts like on your wheels. going from one side to the other per nut.
I didn't have to drop the headliner all the way just the rear of it to get to the top row.

Awesome, thanks!
I think I'll look into getting a Manual slide vs power. I'm getting a truck cap and my wife brought up the fact that she wants "the hole" that goes to the back for the dog.
So I won't be using it all the time like one would without a cap on.
Appreciate the help. eBay has a new OEM with new gasket material for pretty cheap, no your cheap but cheap enough. Lol
