The rear overhead Panosonic DVD player in my 2006 Buick Rendezvous is shot. I removed it and tried to clean the laser but that didnt work. I tried researching the part numbers on the ag to find a replacement but that doesn't find anything either. All of my searches just show used players. All help will be appreciated especially from grand kids.

This project went on hold for awhile so now I am back at it. I've finally come to the realization that I am wasting time trying to match up all of this wiring to the stock harness. Time to build a custom overhead to fit and wire the new player and monitor. I dont want to invest $$$ in headrest systems that the wife will up and trade in this vehicle at a moments notice.
