Replying to: dtownfb (Jun 06, 2006 10:11 am) It is a factory installed entertainment system. I fixed my problem. I took the speakers from my old computer and hooked them up to the head phone hookup in the back of the van. Now my small children can listen to the movie through the speakers and my older children can use the head phones. And I can listen to the radio. We have tried it out and it works quite well.

Replying to: mercmonty (Dec 04, 2008 10:16 pm) Why not just install an aftermarket system? Any audio-visual store can install a unit for you cheaper than the factory.

Replying to: bournsmith (May 24, 2006 9:32 am) I have a 2006 Freestar - It has the factory DVD entertainment system. I can't get the DVD to play through the audio speakers at all - seems to work only via headphones. Am I missing something? Bought it used and the DVD brochure is not with the car.       Thanks in advance for any help.   ab Replies to this message: dtownfb (Feb 23, 2009 7:00 pm) abchi (Feb 27, 2009 12:52 pm)

Replying to: abchi (Feb 15, 2009 10:30 am) Since no one has answered your post, I'll give it a try. What happens if you push the "Aux" button? Are there any controls in the rear seat? Did a remote control come with the car? Replies to this message: abchi (Feb 27, 2009 12:52 pm)

Replying to: dtownfb (Feb 23, 2009 7:00 pm) Thanks for answering...   I have a remote control - but doesn't seem to help. When I hit Aux on the in-dash, it just gives me a "No Aux Source" message.   There is a control panel in the back, but again, can't switch away from the headphone only mode. It would seem to be straight-forward, but so far, we just can't get it to work.
#12 of 13 DVD stuck in Freestar Entertainment system by duffy13 Jun 08, 2009 (6:38 am)
My 2004 Ford Freestar, which I bought used, came with a factory installed entertainment system. It's taken me a year to figure our how to get the sound working (a user error -- it really took me a year to read the manual). I was so pleased, especially the discover the previous owner left a Bob-the-Builder DVD in the player (a freebie I didn;t even have to negotiate for!) My enthusiasm waned and turned to disappointment when I discovered it won't eject. The eject button on the player actually pulls up the setup menu. The eject button on the remote work. It appears that the disc disengaged from the drive (pops up slightly) but it doesn't "spit out." I unscrewed the player from the ceiling, but the player itself is entirely enclosed. I wondered if the DVD might be warped from hot days in the sun, but it does play wonderfully. I just think we may ultimately get tired of Bob-the Builder. Any thoughts? Will I have to replace the entire unit. Or will I have to get reid of the van when we want to watch something else?
#13 of 13 04 Freestar Cassette/CD Player by grunt76 Oct 06, 2009 (5:36 am)
My factory AM/FM Stereo Cassette/CD Player is displaying "Tape Eject" although no tape is in the player and hasn't been for sometime. Because of this, the CD player will not load a CD. All I have access to is the radio. Anyone have a solution?
