How To Install a DVD Player In Your Vehicle -EricTheCarGuy

CarID was kind enough to send me a DVD player from Boss to install into my 2001 Honda Odyssey. Originally, I had thought it would be a pretty straightforward installation. It turned out to be a bit more than that. The headliner had to come out several times to make sure that the right measurements were made for the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket also needed a custom installation in order to make it work. Not to mention getting 'creative' with the electrical hook ups. Truth is, this is typical with installing aftermarket accessories like this. You need to be prepared for anything.

In this video I walk you though the steps I took to overcome these challenges. Hopefully it will help you if you are also wanting to install a DVD player of this type.

Thanks again to CarID. Here's a link to their site: carid.com
