What kind of DVD media are you using? DVD -R is generally the most compatiable for DVD players.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using DVD -R and DVDXCopy is the software used to make these copies.
These DVD backups play fine on my home DVD players but when inserted into the Odyssey RES, it stopped at the Warning page (generated by DVDXCopy).
With the VCD copies that I made with Clone CD, it simply says invalid disk. Any idea why ? or recommended workarounds?

Last week we had a Sony Dream System (MV-7101DS)installed in our 2004 Expedition XLT (Sunroof and Rear A/C). Circuit City did the installation. I am amazed how clean of a job they did. Color of the system matches the headliner perfectly.
 
With the RF Modulator we had installed, we tune to a specific station and it comes through the speakers after flipping a switch. B/c the truck has rear audio we can either use the Sony headphones or wired headphones as the kids get older.
 
Many of the current systems put the player and screen together. With young children we wanted access to the player up front, so the Sony fit the bill. There is also a seperate box with I think 3 sets of inputs on it for anything the kids come up with later (video games, cameras etc.) Total out the door with installation, Modulator, extend warranty, taxes minus the rebate was $830. Considerably less than the Ford system ($1500 just for the unit).
 
So far, don't really see any downside for going with aftermarket instead of the factory system.

we installed a power acoutik on our 00 sienna an yr ago. The price was around $1100 installed. It came with a 8" screen and a dvd player mounted below the second row seat. We also installed a Toy-Aux connector from PIE electronics which basically plugs into the original head unit. the CD button on the head unit controls the DVD audio aswell. It also came with2 wireless headsets and the kids could listen to the DVD while we can tune into another station in front.

If you are getting the DVD-Backup page, then try hitting the Menu button (or whatever it is called on your player). Some DVD players will not automatically move past the warning screen. I have to do this on one of my DVD's.
 
On a related note, I had contacted both Honda and Toyota about the ability of their RES systems to play DVD+R's. Neither would say that they could, but they both weasel worded the answers to cover all bases.

I haven't had any luck with DVD +Rs in my Sienna, but I've only tried two brands and I'm pretty sure some people on siennaclub have had success with them so there must be some brands that work. All 3 or 4 brands of DVD -Rs I've used have worked.

I do my backups with dvd shrink. They have worked perfectly in both my 03 Pilot and 05 Odyssey. Do a google search for dvd shrink and the rest is easy...and free.

Does anybody know if the DVD entertainment system in the 2005 Town & Country plays DVD-R discs? Thanks for your input!

Thanks for the tip! DVD shrink, along with DVD Decrypter, seem to be a better way to go. Less compatibility problems and more options for burning.

Thanks for your reply. I tried disks backup by DVD shrink, and those DVDs play fine. Yeh...
I'll also try your suggestion soon regarding pressing the enter key when it gets to the backup page.
