    I just bought and installed a new DP video DZP902NT DVD in dash reciever for my car today, replacing my factory installed radio. I had a few problems installing it, including a few blown fuses. It seemed to work great until i turned on my headlights. As soon as i did, the whole thing went bezerk. The screen went blank, it had the rewind symbol in the corner, and the music stoped playing. when i tried to shut it off it would not let me. I drive a 2003 Ford Ranger, Extended Cab. Please help me!!

    sounds like you didn't do some of the connections right. Here's the detailed wiring for a '03 Ranger. I think you should first disconnect the battery and go over your connections again.

    good to hear that it's working good now. How do you like the unit? do you have any amps connected to it?
