Factory VES system issues or is it me?

I believe that the factory VES “vehicle entertainment system” is not working properly

It has been the same since the day I received it. I have never used one of these before and my manual for it has me thinking I am correct that it is defective. I have the NAV radio the truck is a new 07 with the 6. 7 engine. 99% of the time I am driving I have my 2 year old with me and the DVD player is a must or the ride is far from enjoyable. I realize this is under warranty but I really don’t want to deal with the hassle of bringing it to the dealership especially if there is nothing wrong with the VES unit. Here are my issues

When I hit stop it only pauses the DVD. When I hit power the rear screen turns off but the DVD still plays through the NAV radio. No matter what I do the only way I can get the system to stop is to remove the DVD and this is not an easy task while driving. Are others able to stop the disc and turn the power off on the unit. If it never turns off the system will more than likely prematurely fail with the discs playing all the time.

It's you...?

Are you trying to control the DVD from the Nav radio, or from the Remote

control?



The remote will only work well from the back seat, same with the headphones.



You can run the VES through the radio, for "surround sound" through the speakers, but if you want to stop it, and not have it showing up, I am pretty sure you need to use the remote, or at the very least, use the keys on the VES.



I dont think you can control the VES from the radio.



Might be wrong, but these are just some of the things I noticed playing with our set.

I tried on the unit itself and with the remote with the same results

the nav unit can switch between chapters thats about it

see if you can make your dvd stop playing with the remote or the unit itself if you can that mine is broken thank you
