Default Input video to Nav screen

I was wondering if there was any way to input a video source into the nav screen? I just got an iPod video and I was thinking of having it play on the nav screen as well.

I have not done this before, but based on what people have done and advised... was to use the reverse cam function as a video input to other devices. Meaning you can tap the reverse cam wire and do a daisy chain to the new device and set a switch on-off which will display the (ipod video/xbox/ps) and plug in the IPOD audio to your aux input.

Hope this helps...

I never thought about the reverse cam input. But wouldn't that mean having to shift it to reverse to watch it? What I was looking for was some kind of device that would allow an aux video input.
Thanks though.

Default Maybe an answer!

Go to www.coastaletech.com. They have something called lockpic! It might be what your looking for. Also Soundgate is another web page.

Thanks for the suggestions. The lockpick looks promising but I don't know how easy it will be to install it. Has anyone here install such a device on their car to allow video input?
