Many vehicles, such as the Ford Navigator or Cadillac Escalade, have overhead consoles that feature various electrical components. These devices include compasses, thermometers and even LCD displays. To properly connect such overhead consoles, you must wire the 6-pin connector attached to the rear of the device. These vehicles have built-in connections, so you need only access the rear of the overhead console to properly wire the 6-pin connector.
