Has anyone added a second Panasonic monitor to their burb or Denali? Is the factory wiring already run in the headliner?

wiring is absolutely not in the headliner. The third row video is only available in the XL models and adding actual factory parts is extremely expensive...I've priced it. I have however done this many times and have successfully interfaced into the factory system. You can play the same movie all the way through the truck or play a separate movie on the third row and listen independently through the wireless headphones.

We put two Advent 10.2" overhead DVDs in our 07 XL Denali. Can watch same or different movies and on bigger screens. We lost control of DVD from front seat, but are hoping to unlock Nav screen and connect it to dash DVD.

I picked up a OEM for $100. I cant see why it would be so hard to find the pigtail wiring to run to the back DVD.

I'm new here and working on adding a monitor to a 2009 Tahoe. Looks like $150 for a 7". How big are yours? and do they interfere with your rear view mirror?

Smallest would be a 9" and if you have a sunroof, then yes you will loose some rear view mirror visibility with the screen down. If you do not have a sunroof...you wouldn't really notice it.
Curious...what are you getting for $150.00...screen only? Does it match the headliner?

Sorry, That was supposed to read "17 inch" for $150.

eonon.com has some amazing prices as well. They also offer a 19" monitor.

What's the biggest monitor anyone has installed?

Is there a size that would NOT interfere with the rear view mirror?
