Does anybody know if it is possible to get a multi-region chip for the LR harman/kardon rear DVD system for a Range Rover Sport. I have just moved to Oz from the UK and recently bought a RRS. Hence, all of my DVD are Region 2 and the system in the car is Region 4 so none off them will play. Wee one is really miffed coz he can't watch his favourite DVD's and I am not keen to replace all of them with local versions.

Thanks in advance

Good question, I didn't realise the RSE DVD drives were region locked. I don't remember this being asked before. Let's see if someone can help

It should be possible by a remote control 'hack'

Can you give me the exact model number of the player and I'll get you the codes

Is it really that easy

If so, I will dig out the model on mine  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

If it's anything like the DVD drives that BMW use for Satnav, they're just the same as those you'd find in your PC and they are easily hacked.

My unit looks like it's made by Alpine but it's impossible to find any serial numbers. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Thanks so much for responding. I will see if I can get the model and post it later today.

Hello, there is 2 options I have:

1.- buy the correct region DVD changer from your LR dealer, they have in catalog tthe different regions plus they have access(usually) to refurbished units

2.- DVD changer has to be chip modified, there is no SOFT remote control Hack, sorry.
I last did this about 10 months ago, and changing the region chip is a little bit hard, harder is getting the chips region free or modify a new one with blank programming, expensive!!


These are Alpine units, which are custom made for Land ROver, the rear interface cables and outputs are completely different to each other.

Have you tried contacting the Techie guys at Charles Hurst, site sponsors. You cannot be the only person who cannot watch DVD's bought on the other side of the world to where you bought your in-car entertainment 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

...or the other way, copy the DVD, then burn a region free copy (any required s/w for both steps can be found on the web). Damage or theft in the car also then means you haven't lost the originals.... Cheers

Anyway, DVD players on cars shouldn't be region locked... With a car, you're supposed to travel around... Just like portable game consoles, there are no region locks whatsoever...

did anyone find a solution? I have thesame problem, because I have a US region and use it in europe. I found a car audio garage where they said they can change the region and it will cost approximately €180. But it is at the other end of the city so I never have time to go there.
I digged out the model and mine is: alpine xqe50060 software version 0,991 video version 0,992. maybe someone can find a remote configuration to change the region My name: Patryk
