Default Flip out dvd/cd player?

Im getting a used Panasonic dvd/cd player. Is this something i can insatall? The player is in a truck now and needs to be taken out and put in my truck, i know there is "brain" that has to be taken out to. Is this harder to install than a normal cd player?

no just extra wires to the brain and one ground wire to the emergency break for the screen to pop out but you can really just ground it to anything

No... It Just Uses The Ground To See If The Parking Brake Is On So You Dont Watch The Screen While Driving... It A Safety Feature You Can De Activate By Just Grounding It...

It Doesnt Make It Turn On Or Anything.... Doesnt Cause A Draw
