Default My front video screen modification

Well, Its finished. I added a video screen to the front passenger seat of my Suburban. It looks pretty good. Here are some pics of the install. I needed to make a cusom bezel because of the curve in the trim piece. You can see the finished bezel in the pics. I also installed Sirius Backseat TV and spliced it into the rear console auxillary controls. It works great. I have pics of that install as well. I'll post them under another thread.

I want to do it. Will you list part numbers and a cost breakdown?

I wired it to a relay and tapped into the RAP circuit for power.
It's connected to the DVD 2 + - on the radio connector. It plays whatever is playing on the Rear Video screens. I also wired Sirius Backseat TV into the Auxillary in pins in the back of the center console. So when you press the AUX button and Sirius TV is powered on, it plays live TV.

Kids love it and my daughter who sits in the front seat often can now watch along with the other three. Yep, I have four!
