Dashboard Functions and Connection Space
I pulled the roof cables through the PVC route with fish tape.
I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires entered the van.
I completed the remaining light connections, covered the boxes and joined the final conduit sections.

My Takeaway for the Build
Running the roof cables reinforced the importance of planning where leads end up inside the van. For my PLZ receiver purchase, the large touchscreen is only one part of the layout; the camera input and audio connections also need space. Both alternatives use seven-inch displays, with HDMI adding a separate distinction on the Sony.

MP-106
Screen
10.1 inches
Phone Integration
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
The MP-106 combines a large screen with a separate receiver body, so dashboard planning involves both parts. Compare the screen position with nearby controls and vents, then leave room for the harness and connected leads behind the receiver. The installation guide supplied through the exact MP-106 retailer listing covers the harness, mounting and display assembly. A van audio drawing can record those connections alongside the camera and speaker routes, keeping each cable identifiable when the dash is opened again.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The ATOTO F7 XE and Sony XAV-AX6000 use seven-inch displays rather than the PLZ unit's larger screen. The Sony also includes HDMI input, while each receiver has its own chassis and connection layout.
