hey everyone so I have been thinking about something lately that would be an interesting feature to my truck if I could figure it out. so my 05 xlt super cab has the rail system on the roof and the only compartment thing I have on it is the flip down sunglasses holder. but when I take it off the rail I notice a hole in the headliner and tucked in this hole is a connector that I believe is for the factory DVD player that mounts to these rails. my question is, I have a double din pioneer head unit that plays DVDs and I believe has output terminals on the back of it to connect another display. I am just wondering if I was to buy a aftermarket LCD display and mount it to the flip own sunglasses holder with a little modifying could I use this plug to wire it?

 

I have a xlt with the rail system and I don't have it the previous owner installed a DVD player under passenger seat ( dosent work) that he had connected to my avid-d2 pioneer head unit , if you bought your truck used maybe the previous owner had an after market install or if ford at that time had a did opinion maybe it was a add on from ford who knows

 

Highly doubt you can use those wires. Just run a new video cable and power wire up the pillar and fish it through the headliner where you need it.

 

Those wires will only work with the flip down monitor that came directly from Ford. And from what I was told by the audio shop I go to, there's no aftermarket flip down monitors that are a "direct fit" with that rail.
