SHO PLAY DVD?

[Tractorak]

Just tried it in my 2013 with premium stereo system (ha) and no play for me either. I read in the manual about it using the USB so I am going to give that a try. My coworker has the 2012 ECO F-150 and it played in his so bah! Can't believe that the upgraded stereo is inferior. Don't even get me started on this whole Pandora crap with the new sync upgrade for the lower option systems.

ok so just tried USB it is a no go. the only way to play video is through the input jacks. what a crock of sh!t. Oh well I guess for the kids the ipad playing through the bluetooth for sound is the only option.

Clearly there's a lot of variation.  One thing to note.  The DVD with the screens in the back of the headrests is a dealer added option.  So maybe there's something they can do if it's just a driver they need to flash in. or even find the player in a wrecked Flex or SHO.

What does the book say about your audio system?

Some aftermarket cables may be required. Here are links to the oficial Ford owners manuals as searchable pdf files:

Here's one more interesting note from the '13 manual. click to enlarge the image.  Anyone notice anything?

a quick google search turned up 2013 and above do not have DVD players. The early systems had to load nav maps, the newer cars use sd cards. To make use of the display has to be done thru AV ports.

That's how I do it..... It will still work by voice command this way

Wonder if a DVD player from an earlier model will work?
