DVD Video output from the factory 6 disk player

DVD Video Out

Part #:

When I first got the new JK with the 6 disk player, I quickly noticed that it was a DVD video player. Of course Jeep has/had no intentions of ever actually using the video section in the JK's. The Nitro's were supposed to have it, but I believe they went with a simple rear player system. The 6 disk players do indeed have the video out 22pin connector on the back. All that is needed to be done is find the pin layout for the port, and then find the adaptor to create video out.

Additional Parts:
22 pin connector - #5083221AA
(2) RCA Jacks
(3) Headphone Jacks

Tools Needed:

Building the Harness:

We will be making five connectors, two video, and three headphone connectors.

Head Phone Jack 1 - will consist of Pins 18(Left), 20(Right) and 19(Return)
Head Phone Jack 2 - will consist of Pins 21(Left), 22(Right) and 11(Return)
Head Phone Jack 3 - will consist of Pins 12(Left), 13(Right) and 01(Return)

Video Monitor 1 - will consist of Pins 05(Video Signal), 06 (Video Common) and 07(Video Shield)
Video Monitor 1 - will consist of Pins 08(Video Signal), 09 (Video Common) and 10(Video Shield)
Note: Pins 07 and 10 may not be actually used.

Here is the factory layout for the C3 connector on the back of the radio

Assemble the radio wire harness:

Here are the parts that come with the 22 pin connector kit. You will have 22 pieces of heatshrink tubing, copper connectors, blue and green wires, and 1 plastic harness connector.

A quick note on the connector, it has a white lock bar on the bottom, do not press this in until you have all the wires inserted in their correct locations. You can get it back out, but it is a pain.

The blue and green wires have different size connectors on the end.

Insert the appropriate blue and green wires into their slots in the connector. The connector is keyed so that the wires only go in one way. Okay you can force them in. The connector is labeled with a 1 and a 22 on the left side. The number is from left to right on the top row and right to left on the bottom row. The wires are only show to give you an example.

Once you have all the wires inserted into the connector press down on the lock bar to secure them in place.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work.
