Default Wiring an Overhead Monitor on 2007 Tahoe..help?

Hi guys,
Was wondering if I could get some help with wiring an overhead monitor I purchased for my Tahoe. I need help with wiring. I know i should ground the monitor to a bolt under the passenger seat. But......
How does the rear overhead console come off?
Where can I pull the Red ACC power from?
Where do I connect the yellow +12 VDC battery to?
Finally, which wire do I connect to the dome light positive or negative?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The red power wire should be connected to a 12 volt power source that switches on and off with the key. The 12 volt yellow wire connects to a 12 volt power source that is on all the time so the monitor maintains it's memory all the time. I don't know why you connect to the dome light unless the monitor has some kind of dimmer???

You should be ok. The new LCD monitors don't draw much power.
