I am sure you don't. just select the 2 screen button and the rear one should fold down. However to control it you must have a remote. I think
 
You don't need the remote, press TV on the dash after you press 2 screen. There isn't a lot the remotes are needed for that you can't do front the drivers seat
 
If I connected a video player does it have to transmit in NTSC mode?
 
Yes, but it should at least give a fuzzy grey picture with PAL.
 
The files are avi so I'm guessing that these would not load up on the screen?

If your video player plays Avi then yes it would still show, but in black and white or fuzzy if it's PAL.
 
As soon as I connect a device via this rca socket will the monitor pick it up as at the moment there is no recognition at all. I think I may have to try another media source. There is a guy on youtube that connects an ipod and is able to play a video. Has he had to convert the video to NTSC or am I missing something?

You have to press TV button by Aircon controls to turn monitor to VTR mode, if you have rear screen press the 2tv button also. The front screen will only display video if foot brake is ON.
 
or you have a bypass switch
 
:D

I have applied all of this and still no joy. If I had a bypass switch where would it be?

Bypass switch wouldn't stop video playing so don't worry about that, all the bypass switch would do is allow video to continue to play with foot brake off.
 
Do you have a video camera that could output to the RCA sockets. If so maybe you could give that a try. Should be grey and fuzzy, but at least it would confirm whether your system in the car is working or not. At the moment its sounding possibly not. :)

I tried connecting a small portable CD player powering it up from the rear 12V supply. The screen recognised the device this time but I still couldn't get anything to play. Might look at getting one of those cyclone devices.
 
I have a cyclone device and it works fine (although some people have rubbished the quality of the connecting leads and remote control). I say it works fine, but actually I haven't used it that much since I fitted a new 2Din head. The cyclone device can be configured to output NTSC. Think you might be better off trying a DVD player that outputs PAL instead of a CD player, unless CD was a typo. :)

Just bought a cyclone 4 device. Tried connecting it via rca sockets at rear but does not see it. How do I configure the device to output NTSC?
 
Best way is to connect in house to tv, like you would with dvd player, you can check it works, and access settings to change to ntsc, your not the only ones to have issues with this me and others have all had to play about with the rear screen, threads on av section will help šŸ˜Š
