The DVD slot in RNSE head unit is for the DVD based Nav disk only.
You need a seperate DVD player to be installed and linked to your head unit.
Its common to have them fitted in the glovebox.

no, to watch any video source you need an interface to create an composite input, even for a reverse camera.... it isnt an option to play dvds/ films on the dvd drive as it is for reading the maps only , however it does play cd's. again with the sd cards, audio only .

ive been searching the web and have found hazzy dayz they seem to kno what there doing but theres no way i would pay £950 for a dvd player and tv tuner , has anyone made these modifications themselves , if so what parts did you use and how difficult was it ? pictures of the finished fit would be excellent aswell.

Cards must be SD not SDHC.
4gb SD cards are like hens teeth at the minute, dont know why.
I bought 2 last year from Amazon, havent been able to find them again since.
I found Mymemory.co.uk the cheapest and bought 3 x 2gb SD cards.
These are are cheaper again....less than £5 each.

had a good look into this now and the work hazzy dayz do is highly recommended and comes with a warranty so il look at getting it done when money permits , has anyone had the dvd glove box instilation my hazzy dayz as i would like to see what sort on finish it is.
I have had glove box work done, AMI fitted, and multi player CD, work was fine, it is not hard to remove the glove box tbh and fit them.
thats settled it then will deffienatly have the work done asap as all i am hearing is good things , do you have any pic's of the install brett?
seriously do it yourself, its so so easy to do,the dvd player and multi media will cost around £150 - 180 ish, look how much money you will save, think hazzydays charge around £450, you will save around £300, we all here to help you with the wiring which is very easy only few wires to connect
cheers khalil would you say this would work a kit i found on ebay , my RNS-E has a media button where this kit shows it with a CD/TV button is this the same thing ?

it dont matter if it shows "media" or CD/TV, cause how you select the dvd player is a little different,when you press the cd/tv or in your case media button, when you pressed that button you than press the source button, and a list comes down, showing CD CHANGER / TV / MP3 / AUX, you select the tv and the dvd is on, (obviously the dvd plyer must be switch on before hand)

it doesnt make any difference however, if you dont have or want the ami for the ipod im sure there are many others that would do a swap + cash and recode to get the newer unit instead of the old
just to clarify so the above kit is just a straight foward install everything i will need to be able to play dvds ?
were would you suggest i take a supply from as i dont want a flat battery all the time ?

yeah it is mate except obv it doesnt seem to include the faceplate for the glovebox for mounting it, or is your glovebox mounting slot empty atm? (ie no cd changer)
the wiring take it from the rear wiper, ill dig out a pic if you cant find the fuse number in your manual, its an ignition feed so it wont drain the battery and will only run when the car is running

tv tuner isn't a necessity would just be nice to have all come down to the price of it, what is a "vim Hack" ?

its VERY easy to add a digital tv to the dvd, or the other way round if you have the dvd fitted than adding the digital tv,
all you do is power up the digital tv and connect the RCA (yellow, white, red) to the input of the dvd player,
most dvd players do have 1 or more inputs for additional sources, the one i have has 2,
as for the digiatl tv i did install it, but i think they was a fault with the unit cause there was very bad signal or maybe it was my area (poor reception) so i returned it and got a refund
ok the tv tuner / freeview kit i am looking at says it does video in motion which i take is the passanger being able to watch tv whilst driving along but the dvd system has no reference so if i connected the tv turner first then the dvd to it would the passenger be able to watch a dvd whilst driving aswell ?
theres are the two kits if it helps

thats the same digital tv i had, it has the multi media with it, so in the dvd link you gave you dont need to buy that one cause that also has the multi media adaptor, you only need one adaptor, so the dvd should only set you back £80ish
excellent anyway to save a bit of money 
what is vagcom ? sorry about all the question im new to all this
what is vagcom ? sorry about all the question im new to all thisis cool mate,
vagcom is a software that allows you to connect a laptop to the car and adjust setting,
once you done the installation you can get someone near you to do the setting for VIM, that is you want the video in motion,
why dont you go for the dvd player i got, its excellent

o right i have done a bit of plc and hmi programming in the past i don't think vagcom will be to difficult then
what dvd player did you use?
when you sent your tv tuner back did you get a new one or just a refund?

have you seen the photos in the link i posted?, its a VEBA one,http://www.veba.uk.com/products/info/AV2705.html the tv tuner i just got a refund cause at first i thought it would be cool and at was but every time i drove up the road and if the signal was poor it used to get cutted off, if i had a choice again i WOULDNT get the tv tuner, but thats just my thought
yer i did read it not sure if i want to go the remote control route on control it through the satnav
have heard it all depends on where you mount the anttenas to how good the signal is probably more hassle than it's worth
what materials did you use for the surround on yours made a really nice job of it :thumbsup:

yep it is, not tried it myself, but have downloaded some video clips on a usb and it worked, so dont see why the harddrive wont work,
if you dont want to go trough the remote control route than you will need some more adaptors, not looked into it too much but its alot more cost, but saying that the link you gave with the dvd plyer before, shows that it works using the rnse? not too sure so cant really say, using the goolge translation it does control some of the dvd players, not sure if it controls the one his selling, best to ask the seller,if it does control than its a bargin i think, cause you get the multi media adaptor and a dvd player
