So was digging around the junkyards a while back and came across two obs Escalades. One if them had an overhead console that I'd never seen before. Looked factory but had a flip down screen.
Came home and did some digging, found an old thread on here with these pictures. It's an Audiovox overhead console.

I went back the next morning and snagged it for $9 wiring and all! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393086402569320_zps552b7f63.jpg


The factory overhead console screws into it. I took the one out that was in the Escalade because it had the cheesy lick & stick woodgrain on it, and I figured I could get it a little cheaper. Cleaned it up, prepped/painted it and have it roughly mounted in my truck. Needs to be adjusted a little so there are no gaps but I'll do that whenever I put the new screen in it.

The screen in the existing flip-down was jacked, so I snagged a used screen, DVD player and wiring on eBay for $30 shipped. Once I do a double din swap I'll probably do away with the separate DVD player... And doubt I'll use the VHS player :p

The black insert that I have LED's above has a cover that hides the module for the wireless headphones. I put an LED strip on either side.
The units that go in it are the 640/650 series units.

And as far getting it down, here's the .PDF of the installation manual for it. I had a heck of a time finding this!

i see. in mine , all the headphones are hard wired... jacks and holders on the C pillar , so maybe that panel is just cosmetic on my application.

thanks
