hit the AUDIO button your dash (the one on the dash) twice. you probably have the audio toggled to the rear entertainment system. its trying to show whats on your DVD player, which is probably turned off. hence the VIDEO hack you did.

I had tried that and every other combination to no avail.
 
Turns out that I needed to reset the power to the system (via the battery) and then the cd player at least had power, but came up with a Mech Error. We removed the cd player and basically just made sure the CDs were all aligned again, and when we put the whole thing back, I was all set! So, my advice to anyone else doing this procedure would be to make sure you remove all your CDs from the unit before taking it out to do any modifications, just in cast they get mis-aligned. in the process.
 
BTW, I purchased an N-64 from Navone audio to put between the iPod and the stereo, and now the sound is MUCH better. No need to crank up the volume anymore!

I have a 2007 Subaru Tribeca B9 and am looking to swap the East coast CD for a West coast CD. Is the version dependent on the year of Tribeca? If anyone has one and is willing to trade, please e-mail me privately. Thanks - Pat

Do you have any West Coast version that you would be willing to part with? If so, how much? My wife just purchased a used - leased 2007 B9 and it only came loaded with the East coast DVD.
 
Thanks,

does downgrading the nav unit dvd have an adverse effect in the Tribeca? by x5killer

my 2006 B9 came with the vesion 1.0 NAV dvd and later got the 3.0 version for a hefty price ($250 or something ridiculous like that, I'd have to look it up)
 
Well I recently traded the car in to save tax on the new vehicle (though of course got a low ball trade in price) so I really didn't want to give them the NAV 3.0 update dvd if i didn't have to since i still had the 1.0
 
well i didn't think of this till after the fact and stupidly mentioned it as if they would give me more for the tradein which they didn't so i realized i should ahve just taken it out.
 
once i mentioned it they warned that on some vehicles if you put the old nav dvd in after its already been updated with a newer one it can break the whole system and that I would be responsible for the cost of the repair of the nav unit if it did that.
 
I call BS and they are just trying to get me to lave the 3.0 version nav update so i wanted to check for sure with Tribeca owners to see if we can find out if in fact downgrading to a previous version of the NAV would have any adverse effect on the nav system.
 
if not, i see no reason to give them the update which I can gladly sell to another Tribeca owner for half the normal price of the NAV 3.0 update dvd and case with both east and west coast discs (then the person could sell whichever cost they dont need if they want)

I am going to try and at least get back the West Coast 3.0 nav dvd not in the unit and if i can find out that downgrading doesn't cause any adverse effect then I am going to try and get back the 3.0 case with both dvds and give them the 1.0 version that came with the car which I should ahve done in the first place.
 
even if it did cause any problem to the nav unit they wouldn't have noticed that till later and would ahve been on them.
 
I was trying to give them everythign possible with the Tribeca I traded in with all the upgrades and accessories i had for it and kept in great condition with regular maintenance and top care but they gave me such a lowball price for it that I dont feel like I should give them any extras including the upgraded nav dvd which costed me way too much

If you end up not giving the cd's back, let me know how much you want for the pkg.

It makes no difference whatsoever which DVD is in the NAV

Hey sorry to see you leave the fold
 
so what did you buy (sorry to be off topic). ahhh see you been posting on the MDX forums... too bad there is not a way to private message here without revealing your email address to the world...
 
I have 75k on my B9. it only needs another set of front antisway bushings that I am holding off on. replaced the tires on the 20s just this past week. so good for another summer. had a hard time finding someone to mount the new tires on 20's without charging like $30 per wheel
 
was thinking of moving on as well but I got all the hacks in and the SUV is running well with the exception of that stupid bushing that goes out every 25 or 30k miles. plus economy and job (ya never know).
 
I thought you would have gotten better $$ selling the B9 outright instead of trading it in on the MDX...

We recently bought a 2006 B9 Tribeca which had only a West navigation disc, and we need the East. Does anyone have one that they'd like to trade?
