Hi:
I once had a 2007 Expy EB EL that had the factory 6 disc + Nav radio that controlled the rear DVD entertainment unit...I sold that car a couple of years ago.
Recently, I acquired another 2007 Expy EB EL...but it came with an aftermarket double din unit (an old Eclipse brand unit -- which sucks because it's old)....so now the Eclipse HU no longer control the rear DVD unit and the DVD audio only works with IR headphones (which is fine)....the DVD disc plays fine but some of the DVD functions like FF, REW, Menu, no longer work when I press those buttons....my kids just have to let the disc play all the way through.
My question is: could the installation of the aftermarket HU have caused this issue, or is the DVD unit totally separate from the HU and there might be something wrong with the DVD unit itself?
I'm wanting to replace the DVD unit with another OEM one from eBay, but I want to make sure that it isn't the aftermarket HU that may be causing this issue. Anyone have any insight?
