If it was supposed to have one, then it will be an easy process. If it wasn't, you'll need switches and so on, I imagine.

It can be done, but its not cheap. You will likely need looms and switches, plus the screen itself.

You'll need a sub loom to plug into the main loom, aswell as the connector loom to go from behind the dash and up the a-posts to connect to the screen. You'll also need the switch for the dash and the relay for the fusebox....
