Can someone help me with my dilemma?
I have a 2005 Caravan and it came with the factory DVD player. I would like to replace the head unit with my Pioneer DEH-P5500MP, but I think the factory head unit is necessary to control the DVD. Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks.

yes from what i understand about factory dvd systems it will take some work your H/U will need to have an aux input and you will need a small aftermarket car dvd player to make it all work

I figure I could use an FM modulator to get the audio from the factory DVD player to the aftermarket HU, but I don't know what the other wires are on the DVD player...
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the factory DVD player in a 2005 Dodge Caravan???
