I have a factory (Panasonic) DVD entertainment system. I'm considering adding a second monitor, but want to keep the existing system.

 

Has anyone hooked up additional monitors to the factory player?

If so, what wires did you tap into for the video signal?

Colors?

Where did you tap - in the overhead console?

The factory setup does not have a video out, so what you will have to do is remove the system, tear it apart, and solder RCA viseo out to the following specs: Pin 5 is Video + Pin 13 is Video - Pin 14 is Shield. This is for 04 only, If I know GM, the pinouts are probably different for each year, so I won't validate this pinout for other years. These wires can be tapped into, and a RCA jcak soldered in. It is also recommended that a Video booster is installed between the player and both screens.

 

This is something that has been on my radar for months. I just haven't had the time.

 

Good Luck! :thumbs:

Great info. I don't suppose you have pictures? Want to do the project in two steps:

1. tap into the video leads and leave the wires where I can get to them later.

2. hook up and mount the second monitor when I get yet more time.

When I get the time to take mine apart, I'll put up pictures.

Thanks for the pin outs! :thumbs:

Okay, so I finally took the player down from the ceiling to take a peek inside. 3 screws and a slide to the drivers' side is all it took.

The photo above is of the connector on a 2004 Suburban DVD player to the factory monitor.

 

To get a picture on an second monitor, connect the dark blue wire (4th from right on bottom row) to the center RCA conductor. Connect the outer conductor of the RCA to the chassis ground. There will be a slight drop in brightness to the factory screen.

 

But it works! :crackup:

 

I ran across a detailed schematic below, but it doesn't make sense based on my wiring colors. :cool:

I wish someone could help on this one! You would think someone would have an aftermarket thingy out there by now. I too would love to have an extra visor moniter hooked up to the factory DVD.

 

Anybody help? I know they do it in the shops/ :thumbs:

The outputs are a wire pair inside a shielded harness. Remove them from the (OEM) monitor. One is Video "+", the other "-".

 

Just wire them as "+" center pin and the "-" as the shield. No one mentioned a problem with that. Then find a 12V video distribution amp (rather common now), for the number of monitors you will be running & run the connector to it.

 

You need to make sure it powers up and down with the accessory's selection requests.

 

Run one of the dist. amp's outputs back to the oem screen, the other(s) to your other monitor(s) respectively. It's best to terminate any unused output(s) with a 75? resistor inside an RCA plug.

 

You can keep it factory instead, by using an SUV distribution amp. The ones used for their front & rear screens.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
