#538 of 649 Re: DVD-r dvd's in honda odyssey [donalduck] by graystrickland Dec 06, 2007 (6:41 pm)
Replying to: donalduck (Dec 03, 2007 11:53 pm) Donalduck,   There are many ways to make dvd backups. Here is one way which works 100% on my '05 Ody factory RES unit:   -- AnyDVD from slysoft_dot_com to unlock commercially produced (Hollywood) dvds -- CloneDVD 2 from slysoft to copy and burn any unlocked (see above) dvd, or any portion (e.g. remove the nag screens and coming attractions)   These products aren't free, but there are other methods which are free which will work equally well. Nevertheless, I was happy to pay for these products (and in hindsight, I'm still happy I paid), because they are bulletproof and idiotproof. It's as simple as making toast and almost as fast -- and 100% reliable (at least in my experience).   YMMV

Replying to: dporter (Nov 07, 2007 10:57 am) Any suggestion on a good speakers to replace the factory speakers on a '07 EX-RES-NAV? I was thinking of just replacing the front speakers - I was concerned that replacing back speakers might break ANC? Thanks

Replying to: stickguy (Dec 02, 2007 7:35 pm) Thanks stickguy. Did you install the USA Spec unit yourself or got an installer to do it for you, and if so how much should one expect to spend on installation? Someone on another forum tried installing a USA Spec unit on a different vehicle and it didn't work so I'm a bit concerned since I've never installed a car audio part before.

I had a local custom car sterop shop (I won't let one of the chain places like BB or CC touch my car) put it in. I had no desire to start dismantaling the dashboard.   Not sure exactly what I paid, since I also had new front speakers put in at the same time, but I think it was around $40. It really is a pretty simple job if you know what you are doing.   I had the unti put in the small cubby below the HVAC controls. You can also mount it behind the dash and just run wires, but there are some switches on the box to change the settings so I wanted access to it just in case. Also easier to change the RCA cable for the extra set of inputs.   It actually works perfectly in that little cubby. You can leave the ipod in with it and keep the door closed and no one would know it was there. No exposed wires either.

#544 of 649 Re: Factory DVD or After market for 07 Odyssey EX-L - which is better? by thrinkes Dec 18, 2007 (6:58 pm)
Replying to: mani_r1 (Dec 06, 2007 8:44 am) Could you please tell me what you ended up paying to have the after market DVD installed in your 07 EX-L. I am suppose to buy one by weeks end and am having much anxiety over RES or no RES. Its about $1550 more on the price, which equates to approx. $27 more a month for my 66 mo loan! If there is a huge difference with integration, sound, look, etc....then I will just get Factory. But if I am going to have problems and its still going to run around $1k, then why hassle with After market. Please, can someone help my dilemma. Thanks so much!!!!

Replying to: thrinkes (Dec 18, 2007 6:58 pm) This is the breakdown   1. JVC KD-AVX11 Dvd player $230 from frys on thanks giving week end. 2. Overhead DVD Monitor $80 from cardomain.com 3. Trim and other accessrries needed to attach the player $50-$60 4. PIE adapter $50 5. Installation $220.   So around $600 to $650. The most important is to find an installer to install this. The BB installer was willing to try, but most of them are not. And the installation can be much more costilier as it varies from place to place.   Hope that helps.
#546 of 649 code to reactivate radio/dvd '03 odyssey by aleta Dec 28, 2007 (10:29 pm)
We found the 5 digit code to reactivate the radio/DVD. It is on the underside of the fuse box lid. The fuse box is on the upper left hand side under the hood. Open the fuse box and look under the lid. It is the top 5 digit number. I don't know what the other code is for. Everything works again!

Replying to: donalduck (Dec 03, 2007 11:53 pm) donaldduck,   It's easy on a Macintosh:   rip the title you bought using MacTheRipper:   http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715   then use quality media (sony, NOT memorex) to burn the DVD using Toast:   http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11427   While there are other ripping products out there, this combination has proven rock solid. This is useful for making spare copies of your purchased DVD library -- keeping the originals safe at home.
