I bought a lcd screen and a dvd player which I will put in the glove compartment, but I m not sure how to connect it to my stock radio. Can anyone help
 
I install at a car audio shop and i have a 3 4door. If you are wondering how to get the sound to play through the factory system there is a piece called a FM Modulator. you should be able to find this at any local car audio shop. This piece takes the RCA output of the dvd player and plays it through a FM station usually 88.7, 89.1. The modulator only needs power and ground to work. They should have a male and female antenna pigtailed out, unplug the antenna from the stock radio and insert it into the female end and plug the male end into the radio. If you need to know how to remove the factory radio i will tell you. The trim piece running along the center of the dash comes off left to right. There are just little clips that hold it in and there is a hook on the right side that slides out. After that panel is removed there are two screws at the top of stock radio, remove those and the whole radio comes out separate from the a/c controls.
 
you can get an fm modulator that has a place for audio input from dvd, power and ground wire, it sends a signal to your radio you don't have to take your radio out. i have it connected to my dvd player , you can connect the power from dvd & fm mod. to same source at th fuse box and ground it the same. no need to take out radio.
 
You can choose either wireless or hardwired FM modulators. I think the quality is better with the hardwired mod, but you dont have to take out the radio with wireless like silla3 said. Sometimes you get a little fuzz with the wireless one, but not in all applications.
 
Does it matter what kind of fm modulator is, like what brand, I am thinking to go with the wired one instead of the wireless, but for the best audio quality, should I go with a specific one ? thanks
 
We sell AUDIOVOX at my shop. This is all i have used and it works great. I havent used any other brands. SORRY.
