I would like to know if anybody out there knows how to unlock a BAKER inflight entertainment system DVD player from its factory issued REGION 1 ( US ). The system is installed in a 2001 Gulfstream GIV-SP, as part of its interior fit out, now that the aircraft is operating in Asia, its becoming a bit silly that passengers cannot watch any DVD movies purchased locally.
If anybody knows of a firmware upgrade or a simple remote control series of key commands that can unlock this aviation grade DVD player, I would be happy to hear from you.
PS: its a very lengthy excercise to even contemplate replacing this player with another, as they wont be aviation certified or able to fit in the console rack physically. We need to unlock what is already there.
