Hardware

I finally built a PCB that works great and  even helped me to track down a nasty bug (took me a while, too. Hang on here with me, I'm actually going to tell you about it because it's fun).
But now, hardware.

Hacking Honda Odyssey 2007 RES DVD-player: part 1

Part 1: Overview (this part)
Part 2: Hardware

Infotainment/NAVI system in Honda Odyssey 2007 is a huge monster – it has a luxury audio unit with 6 CD changer, a DVD-player, large NAVI screen in the dashboard, dashboard and steering wheel controls, rear screen with controls, IR remote and IR headphones. Awesome, isn't it?

Well, the problem is that we live in 2016 and it really does suck when you are stuck with the only choice between CDs and DVDs. If you want MP3, computer video, USB input, Bluetooth or anything else – your only option is the AUX input (composite video + stereo audio). It's definitely something, but if you are a maker, you can't be really satisfied with it, can you?

So I thought – why don't I look into how the hell this DVD works and if it would be possible to replace it with something more interesting and flexible – think a Raspberry PI or alike.
