Hi, I'm Kevin and have just bought a 2.4 Alphard V, 2008, mine has a drop down TV however i cannot get it to work as i believe there should be a dvd player under the passenger seat? It has a Sony DSX B700 head unit, not sure if dvd was removed when this was fitted. Can you tell me if the dvd units are available? Can a Toyota Sienna fit?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hello Kevin,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

My guess is, and it is a guess, that your Sony unit is an aftermarket item.

 

Your machine may have a analogue VTR input, often on the console between the front seats; but being analogue it will have limitations.

However, I expect DVD players are still available with analogue (RCA) outputs (or a discrete D to A convertor may do the trick.

Hi Rojie

Yes the Sony is an after market unit, it appears that all the original plugs are  behind the Sony head. question now is as my Alphard has a SatNav aerial, drop down TV, reversing camera and a very large rear view mirror which seems to have a place for a big SD card, where would be the best place to start? As it would be nice to get all these items working again, original head unit or new? I think i need a motor electrician or electronics guy or both. 

Regards Kevin
