vwgtiking Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Today i was doing someones car and had my son who was in mine watching a dvd via the HU (avic d3), as it was cold i turned on the engine and left it running to heat the car up. It was like this for 30-40mins with the fans on number 3. after 30-40mins my son shouts at me, pointing at the HU the dvd had crashed. I turned the ignition off then on and it said error reading. The stereo and ipod functions still work but not the DVD. It stayed like this for a bit. It cooled down but it still wont play dvds and it now says system malfunction??!?!? i think some of the displays look slightly different compared to normal. On top of this the buttons on the left no longer light up and the dvd wont eject, but when you press the eject button it beeps to acknowledge you pressed it. However, nothing happens. Have i killed it, blown a fuse or just got really hot and check it in the morning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smitty2 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I have never seen this. You are going to have to remove and inspect all the rear connections very closely as well as attempting the reset procedures. If nothing sticks out on the exterior surgery will be needed. With all the moving parts inside there is no telling what is wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vwgtiking Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 yeah there is place near by that can fix it for a few ££'s. Am guessing it overheated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
