Does anyone know if the NAV DVD can be successfully copied and used in another LC or LX if it is placed in the same type system?

The DVD bypass instructions for clipping and grounding the wires worked great.  I can watch DVD's and dial the phone (not driving of course) in route.  However, an interesting thing has started happening after the bypass was completed.  After ejecting the CD/DVD cartridge 6-9 times (to change CD's) the changer will not accept the cartridge.  I can get it working again by disconnecting the main battery and hooking it back up again.  However, this is a real pain.  Has anyone else experienced this situation?  Better yet, does anyone have a fix?

Security_guy,

Sorry, I don't have the answer, but perhaps a few suggestions. Perhaps you connections were not solid or are intermitting and causing the changer to hang up. Disconnecting the battery will reset the changer and then works ok until you loose connection and then hangs up again.

I would first review you connections and make sure that they are soldered or correctly crimped and that the ground is solid (metal to metal). If that checks out fine and the condition still exist, you can then then undo the DVD bypass and see if the condition is eliminated.

Please let us know the outcome out of this.

Security_Guy,

Any updates to this? Did you resolve the CD/DVD Changer issue that you had?

CTapia,

I think it is fixed. So far so good. I simply reinforced the taped the cut wire and tightened the grounding. Cross your fingers for me.

Thanks....
