Hacking Toyota DVD Player |
| wilkij posted 2004 Dec 10 19:16 |
| How can I determine what mfg made the DVD player in my Toyota van? The audio system is labeled JBL, but I doubt that they made the player itself.
Once ID'd, is there likely to be a hack that would permit it to play MP3 discs? These might be really dumb questions, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have heard that many DVD players, regardless of brand, are made by just a few manufacturers and I know that many newer models play MP3 discs ... so, I'd like my brand ??? Toyota DVD player to play MP3 discs! Anyone have any suggestions or is this a futile pursuit? :shock: |

| Hello,
I'd find that extremely doubtful if it could. Or if there'd be a hack for it. My family has a lease car with a dvd player in it. I tried out several different formats on it. It played Dvd - and + r just fine. But it refused to play Vcd or Svcd (not even rw or a pressed vcd). It was on a Chrysler Pacifica. Chances are your dvd player is stripped down for only Dvd Video. If you want go through the guides under "how to" on the left. In there is a guide to put cd audio on a dvd. That is probably your best bet at any "hack" for the system. Though be sure to use a rw to avoid blanks if it doesn't work. Best of luck :) Kevin |
