Car stereo wiring help......

shawn474

Long story short - I have wired up dozens of replacement head units in my 40 years but most from crutchfield that are plug and play. Long story short - I have a 2005 Nissan titan le crew cab whose Rockford fosgate factory stereo isn't working (cd changer won't play discs). It also has the factory Oem DVD entertainment center in the rear. I have an old pioneer double din avic f700bt head unit that I could use to replace the CD player. However, I am afraid to lose my DVD functionality. Is there a way to wire this so that I can use the head unit and the DVD player. The head unit has an AV1 option / output. ANY help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

You can, but you will have to find the input wires to the dvd player and splice in a RCA connector on it. the12volt.com might have a wiring schematic for it. Otherwise, you'll have to use a multimeter. Someone somewhere might make an adapter for it...Might want to search a Titan forum.

Cody, Thanks man. Appreciate the help. I will check out their website. I am sure that it can be done; just trying to figure out if its worth it to do. I really dont have the money for a new head unit but would hate to screw it up and ruin something else altogether.

That's part of the fun with electronics

The real fun is integrating with the RF internal amplifier(s).
