Are you saying it won't play some DVDs or just that it won't play Blu-rays? The overhead DVD player is just a Mopar accessory, so I would think it could be replaced with any aftermarket fold down unit fairly easily.
DVD playback is fine, but the other sources like USB/SD card does not play anything other than the MPEG/MPEG2 video formats. MP4( i think the default video format of these days) format is not recognized at all. So, i am checking if i can replace it with a blu-ray player which would support all recent video formats. The overhead DVD that comes installed from the factory has the feature of switching to the AUX source whenever the screen is opened. I doubt if this will be supported by other aftermarket players.

There's probably just an aux cable running from the screen to the head unit, and the head unit is switching to aux when the screen is powered on just like it would if you manually plugged something into the aux port. If you can find another unit that has an aux output above the headliner line, it would likely work.

I have the same system and mine works flawlessly. You have to formate the flash drive to FAT32 and just save the .mp4 files to the root. I just uploaded a YouTube video showing how it works. Hope that helps!

Well, I did it. I traded in my loaded 2017 Touring L+ for a loaded 2020 Touring L+ 35th Anniversary & lost my shirt to the tune of around 5 grand.

Gas Mileage is very bad
2017+ Chrysler Pacifica Minivan General Discussionhi all, I have been very frustrated with the gas mileage. I have been getting very poor gas mileage with my 2019 Limited. This car is barely 6 month old but the gas mileage has always been poor. I used to get 12.5 on average (trip computer only). This is mostly city driving with very rare...- 23

Would You Buy The Lifetime Maximum Care If They Brought It Back At A Little Higher Price?
2017+ Chrysler Pacifica Minivan General DiscussionMopar has many good alternatives to the Lifetime warranty such as the 7 Year / Unlimited Mileage and the 8 Year / 125,000 mile extended warranty. The discontinuing of the lifetime Mopar warranty has definitely created a lot of talk! With no return in the plans for Mopar maybe a little tally of...- 31

Radio/audio issues
2017+ Chrysler Pacifica Minivan General DiscussionI have a 2017 Pacifica Limited. Until a month or so ago the radio would stay on for about a minute after the car was shut off (the radio shut off when the door was opened). It no longer does it. I have had it to the dealer to have it “rebooted/reset” but still will not perform as originally...- 3

Radio changes ... symptoms of a problem?
2017+ Chrysler Pacifica Minivan General DiscussionJust recently the radio in my 2017 Limited began doing something different. In the past, when the engine was shut off the radio would continue to play for awhile or until a front door was opened. Now it shuts off immediately with the engine. I did notice an update message on the screen the...- 7
