Looking for Help

Post by stephensmia »

Hey guys a friend of mine owns a 2005 Benz C class. You can look at it here Benz. A local guy installed all the monitors and the dvd player but he did not connect the dvd players to the cars audio system. Instead he installed an FM transmitter on the dvd player. To me that is very crapy work and he said that there is no way to connect an aftermarket dvd player to the audio system due to the navigation. Mind you this is the same guy that installed my alarm and remote starter and when I remote start the car my parking lights dont come on when it clearly states that they should and my alarm dose not go off when the passenger door is opened whats with that it makes the whole concept of the alarm useless if someone can just walk around the the passenger side and take what they want without the damn thing going off. We'll enough of that dose anyone have any suggestions for my friends car.

What HU does he have? It's very possible that the FM Modulator IS the only way.
