Q: Pioneer Carrozzeria (Subaru Spec-B)

[b18b_turbo]

MODS: This system comes in lots of RORO Legacys, hence i saw it appropriate to post in this forum.

I recently got a Subaru Legacy Spec-B and it came with a screen mounted on the dash connected to the deck. The name written on the device is Pioneer Carrozzeria. Here is a summary of what the system is:

"If you're looking to play almost every audio/video format known to man in your car, even MiniDiscs, then Pioneer has just introduced a whopper of an in-dash system that may be perfect for you (well, if you live in Japan, that is). The AVIC-VH009MD in-car multimedia system, which takes over the high end of Pioneer's Carrozzeria lineup, features a 5.1 channel amp, dedicated TV tuner, GPS receiver with birds-eye view, and a head unit that contains a 7-inch screen and plays back DVDs, CDs, MDs, and MP3/WMA files as well as DivX-encoded videos. Also new to the Carrozzeria line is the AVH-P90DVA, which also has a TV tuner and 7-inch screen, but *only* supports DVDs, CDs, VCDs, and the aforementioned codecs plus AAC, but not MiniDiscs or navigation. The all-in-one system will go for a cool $3,200, while the AVH-P90DVA costs $2,300, although if you want to listen to tracks from your cellphone, you'll have to forgo a lot of these niceties and stick with the Bluetooth-equipped AVIC-S1 that we brought you the other day."

It also has the slot in the dash for "mini discs" and stamped subaru, which means that the car was manufactured with it.


But it wont do what it says in the summary above. When the ignition is turned, the screen says "Please insert appropriate dics." Of course I do not expect the GPS to work but why won't it play dvd's, mps'3 etc? It only plays Audio CD's.

Can anyone help me here? Also, how could i get it to play dvd's and mp3's?
