Hey, I got kids so I needed this mod. got the unit from Ebay, 10" with built in dvd and fm mod. I did this for a double cab.

removed the dome light and housing
used the dvd mounting plate as template for hole in the roof liner
cut template from roof liner with box cutter
installed the dvd plate to the support pillar using sheet metal screws
remove oh crap handle for room to run wire
removed moulding for passenger seatbelt, pass foot moulding, and glove box, use fish tape makes it easier to run wire
run wire to the cigarette lighter
removed the cigarette pw outlet and tapped pw to the "green" wire and ground to the "black/white" wire
mounted the dvd to the dvd plate
reinstalled what I took apart
kids are happy

here are some pics
