Dvd screens in headrests are not getting power

We bought a 2003 Honda Odyssey a couple years ago. The first owners installed a Kenwood DVD/CD/GPS (garmin) system that included dvd screens on the headrests of both front seat captains chairs. The passenger side screen stopped working first, and we figured out that there's nothing wrong with the screen itself, it just wasn't getting power. Now both sides aren't getting power. We are stationed in Germany and won't be back to the states until November. I'd like to have this fixed before then. I don't have the installation manual for the Kenwood system and I'm not sure what to check or how to start.

The problem seems to be that the video out from the kenwood head unit is either faulty or the leads from the head unit to the monitors are faulty. Have you checked to see that the head unit when playing a DVD is set on ZONE 2 so that it transfers the video signal to the headrest monitors?

Qwestar dvd player auto memory playback

Try this. Re-wire your 12v power source to remain in a constant "hot" state. ie: connected to battery instead of ignition acc. Then, when you want to turn units on or off, use the remote or buttons on headrests themselves. This method will leave power to the units when switched off so the internal memory can resume where you left off.

I just bought the dual headrest from walmart and can not get the sound to work the passenger side. can anyone help me with this?or possibly tell me how to get the sound through the stereo.

The monitor only headrest does not have audio handling circuitry in it. the wire harness for that side is the one with the red and black wire, and the two video inputs, not the harness with the red and black wire and the three RCA jacks. It will function on the wrong harness, but it is not the correct one.

The DVD headrest has two harnesses. One of them is for power and output, the other is for input only from another source. The harness with the red and black wire has the three RCA outputs... the video lead goes to the other headrest, and the audio can be fed to an aux input on a stereo or amplifier. The input harness is designed to be Video 2 input from either a gaming system (a Game Cube is a nice option), or another DVD or video source (hand held video device such as iPod or Smart Phone like a HTC Touch Pro 2).

To get sound out of the stereo, either run the audio output from the headrest to the aux input on your stereo, or cycle the FM transmit options using the FMTX button on the DVD player unit to a station you can tune to on your car's FM radio.

HEADREST dvd player honda odyssey 04 exl

Do the headrests detach?? If they do, you can buy the pair of 7" headrest DVD/Monitors all-in-one from Farenheight (made by Jensen). I have used these several times. Not only do the headrests match,but the product lasts too! The best part is that they are about 1/2 the price of many others.
