    Hi Group I'm new here and recently bought 2001 Odyssey with the Honda
    Navigation and rear TV screen. We have tried to use it but not having much
    luck so far. Have put a movie cd in the cd player under the drivers and get
    an error on the Front Navigation screen, tried it in the dash Stereo unit
    and that cd player just spits it out. Is there a third cd player player for
    use with the rear screen? Sorry to bother you all with this but the Van
    didn't come with a manual.

    Thank You
    Dale

    http://www.hondacars.com and click on OwnerLink. You may be able to
    download an owner's manual there. You may certainly buy one from
    http://www.helminc.com

    Now: Honda to date has not made any Odyssey with both navigation and
    rear TV screen. (That will change with the 2005 model.) The Honda Rear
    Entertainment System (RES) debuted in the 2002 model; due to the
    original design never being planned to accommodate all this stuff, one
    could buy either the navigation system *or* the RES--they're mutually
    exclusive.

    But you have a 2001 model, where Honda never offered a rear TV screen.
    Therefore, yours is a third party piece. Your best bet is to take it to
    an auto electronics/stereo shop and have them figure it out for you.
    They're the experts in all this, and your system is absolutely some
    third party add-on.

    To add the nav DVD player is only for the nav system and will not play movie
    DVD's. For lots of information try www.odyclub.com and do some searches on
    the forum. There is a ton of information there...

    Hi Group I'm new here and recently bought 2001 Odyssey with the Honda

    the dvd player is in the dash under the audio unit above the lower
    center sorage bin, it says dvd on it somewhere. the one under the seat
    won't work for anything but navi, and the audio unit is for cd's only.
    let us know!!

    Read the original post. He has a 2001 model--which was NOT available
    with the factory DVD player at all. The factory Rear Entertainment
    System became available starting with the 2002 model.

    So his factory nav-equipped Odyssey has an aftermarket video system of
    some kind, either VHS or DVD. Who knows where the DVD player might be.
    But it sounds like he's trying to put the video DVDs into the DVD reader
    that drives the nav system--which will never work...

    Elmo,

    You're correct, it turns out it is equiped with an Audiovox and the player
    is missing. I did order an Audiovox DVD player which is on the way. I
    found the wiring for the missing player under the 2nd row of seats. Thanks
    for your help.
