RER Navigation and DVD unit question

[skylane]

I purchased a 300C with the RER radio,navigation,dvdetc,etc and am trying to play and VIEW a DVD. I don't have the rear seat entertainment option but the Chrysler NAVIGATION book describes how to work the whole unit. On page 44 "playing a video DVD" all is fine for some things. It loads, reads, list chapters and plays the DVD but I can only hear AUDIO. When I press menu while the dvd is playing the book says to press the soft "VIEW VIDEO" key but "view video" is not shown. The choice I have is several but "ON SCREEN DISPLAY" is not in dark blue or is disabled on this vehicle. I think that is the key I need. I am doing everything else correct. The car is parked in park, engine not running, ignition is on and the dvd is running but I can't see the dvd. I know that viewing front screen dvd is illegal in quite a few states but not mine. Is something disabled with this unit or am I expecting something that the RER Navigation won't do?????

u can't play video through ur front display only the rear. Ur gonna have to buy a mod to make it work. maybe it's diffrent on the 08 models, if that's the case, i don't know what the f@ck i'm talking about! hehehehe

Mine works fine while in park, just press view video. Maybe yours might not be enable.

I beleive he has an 2008 300 which has the mygig, and this if I beleive lets you watch movies on the front screen. Sorry I don't know how to help though...I have the older one.

Refer to "General Discussion" on the RER DVD topic July 1, 2008 for the solution. Even though you have an automatic PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON like you have a manual tranny and it shows the video. So much for the owners manual directions
