Perhaps there is information on modifing the 6disk/dvd changer to play on aftermarket screens in the rear or in the visor(passenger) for the new STS?

????I dont want to add a seperate changer...

I have a 2003 CTS with Navi. It appears there are 2 different versions of the navigation. The first is CD and the second is DVD. Based on your production date would determine which one you got. 2003 is the first yr for production. The earlier ones got the CD and the later got the DVD. Would the Cd version play DVDs?

They say that if you have a gray dash with several nav discs then you can't play DVD's? Anyone know if this is the case?

Care to share?

Hey if anyone of you want to have DVD Movies play on you nav done the right way without a lot of hasssle, Contact me....I will take care of it for you....

In Las Vegas i can install this for you....otherwise you can do it yourself...it is about a 2 hour job that is fairly easy for a person who has installed a stereo before...

Have you worked on any 2005 STS yet.......!!!

For the 2004 and 2005 CTS and CTS-V here are the instructions to play the DVD while driving...

-edit-: You must have the dvd version for this to work (2003 CTS has a CD based nav system).

Enjoy, but WATCH THE FREAKING ROAD!

Is there a way to make the CD based NAV system to play DVDs? If so please let me know where and how to get it...

sgilbert · #56 (**permalink**) 02-01-05, 08:14 PM

Basically---NO. You can't make a CD player play DVD's. (You can't play cd's in a cassette player, can you?) " The times are a-changin' "

Thanks sgilbert

I just found this.

i had a pioneer dvd player in my eldorado and it also had this problem. all i had to do was figure out which wire hooked to the park sensor on the deck. all you have to do is snip the wire and ground it on the deck side. this "fools" the nav unit into thinking it is in park. does this make sense? pm me for any questions

There was a thread a while back on how to do this....It works great, if i remember correctly you play the DVD in park, then you hold down the bottom 2 buttons on the right of the screen as well as the disc change button on the right side, then put the car in drive the DVD should remain playing....If this doesn't work do a search about a year back I got it off one of those threads...good luck
