You can not fix this, DVDs are coded in such a way that a for instance a DVD sold in the European market can't be played on a DVD player sold in the USA. You can buy region free DVD players, but they are not sold at the local electronics stores, they are available on eBay I'm told.

You can use some dvd copy tools to get a dvd copy without region code. You can try Leawo DVD Copy which can retain the original DVD quality.

Why does the DVD player in my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder say invalid region?

Question edited for clarity.

It means the the car was imported from a different country. or that the DVD Player was bought in a different country to be retrofitted to a vehicle so that existing purchased DVDs can be played.

So, the car was originally bought in Mexico and sold in Canada. Only Mexican DVDs play.

or Car was bought in Canada, and the DVD Players was bought in Mexico so the Mexican family can play the DVDs they had at home.

It is called a Region Lock. Some are fixed, some can be changed once or twice.

My husband has just fitted a new dvd player in our 2003 Discovery 2,But it is saying invalid region.He bought the dvd from Ebay & I was sent from the USA.Do we need some sort of reset code??

DVD players designed for the US are set for Region 1 and cannot be used with DVD's that are from other regions such as Great Britain and most of Europe which use Region 2 DVD's . What you need is a "Region Free" player which plays all regions or a player that plays your specific region. We live in the US but watch many British DVD series so use.a Region Free player as they are Region 2 and we are in Region 1.

maybe you can return the player or at least get some sort of credit for it towards the correct region player. If you are unsure of your region, just Google it.

My cd player is displaying an error message everytime I TRY TO LOAD AND EJECT CD'S

The loading mechanism has failed, this is the weak point in all CD/DVD players, the only thing you can do is remove the player and send it out to an authorized GM repair station, they are the only ones that have tech manuals and parts to fix the player. One tip is don't have the dealer do the job, they will send it to the repair station and then double the bill to u.
