Default Switching out xb stereos?

Guess i posted this in the wrong place originally....anyway...

So, there is a stereo i want to get for my 2006 xb and it's from another xb only it's from the RS 3.0 release. I want to switch it out because i'm looking for a dvd player, which this one is, and it comes with a flip down roof mount monitor.

My question is, is this something i can just put in, or are there going to be wires to run from the roof mount to the stereo? It's an alpine dvd/cd/mp3 player just like my sis has in her limited edition xb. Anyone? and sorry i don't know very much at all when it comes to this stuff....I just know i want it.

You might have some trouble with those cut wires. You might have to buy new ones...
