DVD Retention Harness

jewozzy · 12-29-2019, 04:30 PM

This may be a dumb question.... I have the roof DVD player in my 06 Expedition. I installed an aftermarket radio this weekend and used the DVD retention harness kit for it. I did not connect the RCA cables because I don't want the DVD sound to go over the main speakers. I do want the IR to still work for the headphones.

Does anyone know if the IR will still work? I got some headphones that should be in tomorrow to see but am curious in the meantime.

For those wondering, the answer is no the IR wont work on factory DVD player for wireless headsets without modification.

Luckily, I found this video and was able to knock it all out in about 10 min. Now headsets are working great.
