Can you swap the climate control unit with the pull down DVD player on the journey?

[@foggy460]

You definitely saved the day fixing the DVD and for little money. Well done.

[@DIYwithDave]

[@tunafish3216]

Great R&R job on that screen.

[@anilpatel1398]

Very good information

My 2010 chrysler town and country has the same problem and the stereo too Thank you

[@normajean695]

I was just quoted 1700 from the Chrysler dealership yesterday to replace my 2nd row screen. 😂 Sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesn't so I think it's a connection and not the actual screen? I'm definitely going to check my local U pull. I never would have thought of that. Thanks!

[@DIYwithDave]

My pleasure. $1700?!? That's nuts! It is a simple enough job to get done yourself if you are comfortable with it. This is actually the second time I have done this repair. You can check out the other video here: th-cam.com/video/RAoPpgt8yqg/w-d-xo.html

[@jeffhiatt1682]

well done sir. you broke down what looks like a daunting task into something manageable. Two things would still make me a bit nervous...first dealing with a junk yard. Second are what you called the christmas tree fasteners. I find them nigh impossible to remove without collateral damage. is there a trick to it?

[@emilyfayy]

I have a 2014 buick enclave, some dvds work and some dont. So idk if i need to replace the whole unit.. or just the screen like you did, or somethings wrong with where it reads the dvds at the radio. Please give me some good advice if you can before i call the dealer and spend a fortune. I also have 4 kids, and really need it fixed as you said its vital for the kiddos and my sanity 😅

[@americanpatriot2422]

I would have handed out books for the kids. LOL! :)

[@shekeva77]

I really wish that I was handy to change out my own. The radio and DVD is still playing it’s just nothing is showing up on the actual screen.
