First off I wanted to say hello to everybody. I just picked up my new 06 300C yesterday and I just can't seem to get my head into work. My 300C is pretty much fully loaded and has the DVD GPS. I was told by a co-worker that it is possible to make it so it will play regular DVD's however they could not remember how or where to go online to find out. I went ahead and tried a DVD movie last night and it just gives me an error. Any idea's?

 

although it is a dvd gpr player i dont think the screen can handle movies if you added a screen available from mopar i am sure it would play from thier onto the screen
i am not positive on this but i know alot of dcx radios have the capability to play dvd's they need a screen. i know you have the screen in the radio but like i said i am not sure it can handle the dvd specs

 

I don't think the center console GPS system can play Dvd's. It would be too much of a distraction for the driver, thus the error because Chrysler assumes that.

I understand the legality issues and I am appreciate you mentioning that. I am assuming that is why the DVD movies don't just play right when they are inserted. I was wondering if there was some type of either software or hardware work around that would make it work. One of the interesting conversations that I have had lately is the legality of the many different "in-dash" DVD movie players with the built in screen. I would think that if there were a federal law that prohibited them then they wouldn't be able to sell them. I guess there definitely could be a state law that would prohibit them however I do know of a few people who have them installed.

Thanks,

Oh and by the way... I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!! I traded in my Lincoln LS-V8 for my Hemi and I traded in my Taurus SHO-V8 for the LS. They were both very nice in their own way, however the 300C has everything the LS had plus some serious grunt. I am also having alot of fun using the gps. I ran a Zex Nitrous 125hp shot set up on the Taurus SHO which made it haul some serious booty but only for a 1/4 mile at a time. Has anybody here set up the 300C with Nitrous yet?

Take care,

Brian

 

This is the only solution I have seen. I saw it on 300talk. It works for chryslers.

hello your nav system can play dvds but must be converted this cost 450 dollars to have it done and here is the web site that can handle you conversion the picture is great ooh i must add you have to provide a dvd player the conversion only gives you the input for the video to play you will need to install a 12v dvd player but you will be happy at the picture check it out http://www.tvandnav2go.com/chrysler-...on-system.html

 

it's not $450, find a group by somewhere, I got mine for $125........
