I have the toyota DVD headrest in my 08 fj cruiser,im trying to plug them into my d3 rca jacks ,but the dvd headrest have some type of din cables instead of rca jacks.anyone know what the name of these din connectors so i can find a adapter and get everything plugged together?the dvd units look to be audiovox

if they are factory headrests, your probably out of luck. if they are aftermarket , you need to follow that cable to the control module. there will be regular a/v inputs there

By the amount of pins in those cables, I'm guessing they not only supply the monitor with video, but power and control as well... I'm not sure where I would even start to find something to work with those...

 

Maybe if you could find a Toyota dedicated forum with an electronics or stereo board you could find some info or someone who's dealt with this before?

Looks like a toyota factory addon system. I forget who they're made by, but if I remember correctly the control module has a pigtail with av inputs. However one cavaet, a lot of installers don't bother putting that pigtail in if they're not using it.

i did get that pigtail(aux to rca) but the aux input is on the ront of the dvd. surely someone has dealt with this problem before-i hope
