Default Need some wiring help!

Ok, So I was given a Clarion in-dash TV, and it doesn't have a cd player built in, so what I was gonna do was hook it up to the head unit I have now, but wiring > me.

I don't have the head unit model number or the tv model number, so I hope someone can help me out.

I know I need to get a wiring install kit for the tv cause I don't have one for that yet, but how do I hook it up to the tv to make the cd player part work with the tv?

Fuck I hate wiring!

The only RCA out put from the cd player is to a speaker, and one for a sub.

The only RCA input on the DVD player is a video.



Anyone else got any ideas?

Will this possibly hook up to the in-dash tv?

I think so. The rca cables should run from the out on the stereo to the in on the TV? Im not big into stereo crap (which is why its removed)

Try the Audio forum?

The plug in the back of the TV is almost exactly like a regular head unit plug, just very slightly smaller.

I think if I can find the plug, I can disconnect the old one, and solder up the new connection and just run the tv with that 10 disc changer.

No, not as a DVD player, I just want to use the regular head unit to play cd's through the TV, because the TV doesn't have a built in cd player.
