Default DVD Player minus screen. Audio Only..can I buy screen?

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I have the radio that has the DVD option, but obviously the drop down screen was not added. I popped a DVD movie into the system, and it played beautifully. My question is, rather than shell out 800 bux for a factory installed DVD drop down screen, is there a way I can simply buy a small external screen and plug it in somewhere?

I googled this pic, if this is in fact the back of dvd player you have then it looks like a simple S video cable but I would research it more

Either you can buy a factory overhead console with a screen or remove the console and install a flip down. Its pretty simple you just have to remove 85% of the interior to mount and run wireing.

To run your wires correctly and hidden you have to run them acroos the headliner down the A pilar and across the dash to the head unit
