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: http://www.carid.com

  1. NOOOOPE!! not doing all that🤣🤣🤣 amazing video!!!! By the way 👍👍👍

  2. Hi I have a question did you hook up the add circuit thin on a exist fuse for te acc ? And where did you get power for the constant one?

  3. Hello Eric love you youtube show just was watching you instal your dvd player. I was wondering how can i play from my galaxy phone youtube videos on my dvd player can you please help thank you.

  4. When it like that hanging bolts with 3 nuts. All thread bolt cut to length. long as you tighten it it's stable as 4 boxed legs

  5. Hello man,I bought 2008 VAN Vw Touran i have almost same dvd player Boss.Everything is connected properly,but have no sound.Can u help me out ?

  6. When I was installing factory DVD players, we had to cut a hole in the headliner and mount the plate. Also, why not pull the radio and make your power connections?

  7. hello i see last time someone left feedback i think but ,,, anyway ,,, i have the add a fuse line ,, but finding the power for dome lights i have the white and wire and blue but the others purple and another light blue so should i do the middle which is blue and looking at the add a fuse hard to find the fuse for rear wipers and i see that others say they never take the head liner down ,, I didn't take mine down,,, but love this video and i have the 2013 honda odyssey thanks but need some info…

  8. Never buy boss products. You will regret it shortly. Save a few more bucks and get a Sony or Pioneer that’ll last more than a year.

  9. Open the screen and have someone hold it in the place your considering installing it, sit in the driver's seat and see how much the screen blocks your rear-view. Had a factory DVD on a Ford Freestar and it blocked too much of my view out the back window.

  10. Does the ground have to be the same thickness as the power wire? For example if I use the 12 gauge ad a circuit and run 12 gauge power wire from it to the unit, can I use the much smaller ground wire coming out of the unit without hurting anything?

  11. I have a 2005 Uplander and I like to hook up my DVD player to this vehicle but how can I go about it because this other DVD entertainment center came from another hot highliner that was made for it and mine I don't have the wires that goes to it what can I do. !

  12. Don't ever drill into the cross members the way he has (perhaps why the video is cut), it's a sure fire way to go all the way through the roof panel on the other side.
    Either mount the bit deep in the chuck or use self tapping screws that can't reach the skin

  13. I have my Toyota sienna,dvd screen installed by a certified "tech " but it continuously drain the battery. so I unplugged it,whatcould have done wrong??

  14. I installed this DVD Player and everything is fine.. Now When I turned off the car and turn it on again. I have to go and turn the DVD manually even though I left it on. Is it normal? I know the DVD starts from where I left off without any problem. The Problem is that even if I'm in the HDMI Mode when I turn it off and on it would start on the DVD instead of the HDMI input. Also I have to turn it on with the remote or manually all the time. Any Suggestions?
