Factory Rear Ent. to Avic-Z2
Hey everyone,
I thought I read here someplace that somebody hooked up their factory rear overhead screen to thier aftermarket head unit but I can't seem to find the thread. Can anyone lead me in the correct direction to accomplish this task? I'm getting ready to install a Pioneer Avic-z2 in an 07 Tahoe and I need to hook up the factory RSE to it. I know I'm going to need to splice in some RCA's for the audio and video signals and possible send a power signal to the DVD screen too. Can anyone tell me which wires from Connector C3 I'll need to use and possibly let me in on any tips I need to know.
Thanks in advance!

I was told it was not possible due to the fact GM uses modular plugs rather than RCA's. But it wouldn't be the first time someone told me something that was incorrect.

Peripheral electronics makes a interface to retain factory RSE when replacing the factory head unit. GMLRSE. Only kicker is that it is designed to be used with their interface module for retaining Onstar chimes and such......

Are you also saying there is an issue with periperhal's interface module for retaining onstar and chimes?

No there is no issue. In order to keep the factory IR and full operation of the factory screen you will need both modules together. I am not sure if you would use another compaines interface for the radio intergration if the GMLRSE would work correctly. We only use the Periperhal pieces. sorry for the confusion

The reason I ask is that I did the same thing in a 2005 GMC Sierra. The install shop ended up having to install a separate speaker for the onstar and the door chime. It works, but you can BARELY hear it.
I'd like to install an Avic Z2 and I'm stoked I can use the RSE with the Z2. Will save me some cash buying new monitors.
