I have purchased an overhead drop down DVD player for my HHR. I have cut into the headliner and found the rib to mount the player. What I am having trouble with is where do I get the power needed to make the player work? According to the instructions I need to run 12v (constant), ground, and acc. (switched) wires. I have thouhgt about tapping into the dome light but I cant figure out how to get that out and if the proper wiring is available there? If i run the wiring to the dash where would be a good tap-in location? i will post pictures after it is installed.

 

Remove the trim panel on the A pillar passengers' side; you find a wire loom running down it. Wire tie to the wire loom, run wire under dash to fuse panel and then from auto parts store use Littlefuse add-a-circuit. this will give you a fused protected circuit and not over load exsisting one. Dropping headliner is pretty easy see links in this forum.

Got the player mounted and ran wires forward down drivers side windshield pillarand under dash over to center console. Wired it in with my aftermarket stereo with a fuse in the headliner and one behind stereo. works awesome and looks great will add pictures later to dark to take them tonight.
