Anyone have experience with adding an overhead dvd player/monitor in the '06 with the Nav system?
Looking to buy a used '06 Mountaineer premium, but the factory overhead dvd is a little hard to find.

I would do this, but I can't settle for FM modulation for audio. If you come up with a way to get aux audio into the Factory nav unit, let me know. That's the only thing holding me back from adding any rear video.

This will do the trick.

Do you have a ballpark on the cost from this company ? They don't list any prices on their website.

i dont remember exactly but it's very pricey. It was around $500-600. Plus you have to have the Nav unit modified to accept the inputs from the interface.

I know you have the OEM DVD Entertainment System, I wonder if they spliced into that to get a direct audio connection.

Another user recommended the FD-XMFD5 that allows XM connectivity. The XM direct connects audio through RCA cables, so that would allow for an auxiliary input so you don't have to use FM.
