im new to this fourm but just got a used avic-n1 and im trying to bench test it before i go to all of the problems of installing it. the radio works fine but cant get the dvd to work.i grounded the parking brake wire but it still comes up disk error on every disk i try. have i done something wrong?

thanks for any help

sounds like the dvd drive is bad. theres plenty of spare parts on ebay tho

i was reading on another forum,could low voltage cause the dvd error?? i have the radio hooked up to a 12v power suppy.i know i was installing a under the seat dvd player in my suburban and ran the battery down.the dvd player would work fine when the motor was running but not with just the switch on.

A 12volt power supply is more than enough to bench test. I've used drill batteries when nothing better is laying around

well i guess the 12v power supply wasnt enough.today i hooked it up the my car battery.i tried a cd 1st...worked fine..then tried a nav DVD started to work!! then i popped in a movie...works like a charm now.

still dont know what wire to hook up the speed senser to my car.

anybody?? i have a impala ss 1994
