Probably has to be programmed in some way. Or you have to hit the reset button on the DVD. Just a guess.

How do you know it's never been used? Maybe there's a reason for that? Cheap batteries in a remote can leak, especially in the hot interior of a vehicle. Take a close look at the battery compartment and see if you find any white chalky residue, that's usually the sign of a battery leak and a toasted remote. You can also take the remote apart and clean out the circuit board contacts with some alcohol. Remotes usally have some tabs that snap together and maybe a screw or two.

(you posted in the wrong fourm, the explorer or audio/video forum might be more help.)
