Help removing Sienna RSA to install aftermarket DVD

I have this posted as well in the Sienna forum, but 1 week=no replies.

Looking to remove my factory RSA (rear seat audio) and install in it's place an aftermarket overhead drop down dvd player. Pretty much resigned to an Audiovox MMV11 or Jensen JMV111 because they both will...should...mount right up without having to modify the existing hole in the headliner.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with this mod, or can offer any advice to a novice that has never tackled something of this magnatude before. I will be using IR headsets, and the built in wireless FM Modulator, so I'm thinking all I need to do is get accessory power and a good ground. Wondering if I can pick those both up from the plug for the RSA. If not wondering where I need to go to get them both.

HELP!!!?????

Just saw this post. I replied to the other post in the Sienna section. Hope you can help me out with a question I posted there also.

Camry,

I replied to you on the Sienna forum. I looked again at lunch today and ddn't see any extra provisions in the overhead for something other than the RSA for me. I can't say for sure if Toyota would have provisioned for a RSE in a van that had neither the RSA or RSE. Sorry I can't help anymore than that.

I finally got my overhead dvd player today and I had one of the technicians where I work (Avionics technician) look at the RSA harness and bench test the TV while playing a DVD. Basically he figures the tv only pulls about 1.8 amps and I should be able to use the 22awg power wire, currently supplying the RSA with power, to power the new tv. If everything mounts up easily, and I have no trouble locating the power wire, I think my install will take less than 1 hour. But you know...best laid plans...
