Right, from what i gather a DVD player can be added to a 2005 Sedona by removing the plug in the roof lining and attaching the mounting place to the roof bracing.

However, im looking to get a screen with a built in DVD player to save having to run wiring down to underneath the seats. Instead, can you splice into the wiring for the rear courtesy lights (to pick up +12v and ground)?....It'll save having to drop the roof lining (and time)

Yes, you can just pick up 12 volts under the head liner. I picked up the 12 volt line that runs just above the door. Just pull down on the headliner after you remove the handles etc. There are a couple larger gage wires running there, that is what I used.
I mounted the player to the same bracket that the liner plug came out of.
I only use the wireless head phones I did not hook up to speakers at all.
