G'day!
What model/ age Galaxy do you have? I'm assuming you've got a Mk2 where the DVD player is fitted into the centre console between the 2 front seats?
Sorry its a 05 plate and sits in the rear
thanks
Derek
Hi Derek, the factory system is made by Visteon and is completely bespoke. It's not really
possible to break into the system in terms of wiring directly to the screens so you either need to replace like-for-like or rip the whole thing out :(
Hi
Can i ask how the dvd unit is removed from the lower rear console, tried pulling but doesn't seem to budge
Thanks
Do you mean the control panel that sits on the rear face of the centre console between the driver's and passenger's front seats?
yes thats the one
You have to remove the centre console, the DVD player is screwed onto a bracket from behind and the control panel is snapped in. Undo the screws that are under the armrest, then the two by the handbrake and finally the two at the rear of the console, the whole thing will lift up then and you can hopefully get your hand in to disconnect the wiring. Be careful tugging on the cables as they aren't exactly robust!
ok thanks for that only wanted a supply wire but found one on the multi plug to the control panel
Hi another update had the original away for repair but told the DVD player is on the wrong region its on ntsc and should be on pal anyone any ideas how to change this
many thanks
Derek
Supposedly it can't be changed, not according to the manual anyway:
Multimedia/DVD Manual (http://hyperjase1974.webspace.virginmedia.com/MB_8000EN.pdf)
Region is not the same as choosing between NTSC and PAL. But, if it was working before, it was both the correct region (unless you were using discs from another region than 2) and the correct TV system.
Just strange that it was working and now with the same dvd and is now playing black and white
