I fitted a Veba AV2705 under the passenger seat. I liked it because it has a USB and SD input also. The unit has been spot on so far. I also fitted a noise supression unit between the DVD and the AV inputs to the rear screens to stop noise when the car is running.

I didn’t have any problems with noise when using a portable DVD player connected to the AV inputs, however as soon as I installed a DVD player I got noise through the audio similar to a whine which changed pitch with the revs indicating a ground loop.

BTW, had an Alpine unit installed, DHA-S690. Works flawlessly. I'll sheepishly admit that one primary criteria for selecting the DVD player was for the components match [w/OEM Alpine-branded system]. Now if only I can find a small, programmable remote to eliminate the need for both Alpine and LR remotes, like an automotive version of the Logitech Harmony series... That would be nice. |

Have you considered emailing Alpine... Sometimes these guys like to hear from folks and "may be just may be" they have a programming mode that only Alpine know about..

Fitted the rear screens the other week and am now toying around with the idea of installing a dedicated DVD player under the front passenger seat. First off, for those that have installed a DVD player, have you been able to 'hard wire' into the AV system without having the red / yellow / white cables plugged into the back of the centre console? Also, with the ipod I was able to plug the audio into the AUX jack, giving me the audio through the FL2's speaker when swiched to AUX... is this still possible if I use a dedicated dvd player?

I hooked up the Iphone 4 through the Ipod Video Cable (red, White and Yellow version) into the DVD player AUX in. However you can also hook up using the landrover in at the rear of the unit but the wires are a little messy.

Hear is the wiring diagram with the DVD player, IPHONE video options. If you cannot read I will scan in a copy.

I fitted Alpine screens, and an Alpine 6 discs DVD player under the passenger seat. We have Infra red headphones, but I have also used the standard AUX input on the centre console, so that when we press AUX on the dash, the cound comes through the OEM Alpine surround sound system.

Yep, it is the DHA S690. All the cables are hidden under the carpets and the centre console, the AUX in socket looks normal, but it is disconnect underneath the console and connect to the DVD sound output.
