Thread: D4 - DVD error rear seats

Can't help, sorry.
But, first world problem, eh?

Haha yeah but when you tell the mrs "it's got a great distraction for the kids" and then it doesn't work, guess who has egg on their face

I don't have technical expertise to solve your problem but the following comes to mind.

I presume that you've tried a few dvd's.

Are they original or copies? If copies, that may be why.

Do the work in the front when you're stationary? If they do, that may point to a source of the problem somewhere perhaps.

Do you have a diagnostic tool? Not sure whether it would show up errors for this but worth a look.

Mine failed the other day much to my daughters dismay. My problem is a "mecha error" though and it appears the player is not loading the DVDs. When I have some time I'll pull it out and have a look at it.

Your problem does sound a bit like something is wrong with formatting as the sound is playing.

So I have tried 4 brand new DVDs that are genuine.

Yes they work for about 5 mins then the error appears.

A thought - old laptops can get dusty in their cooling systems, eventually leading to overheating.
Is there a fan in the head unit of these things that might need cleaning out? A few blasts of compressed air might work wonders?
