I don't think there is much chance, but if you have a VCD and/or S-VCD lying around, why not give it a try and report back?

No, ipod video won't play in the navi. Think about it, how can the video signal get transmitted to the navigation??

I'm not surprised at all. A few days after taking delivery of my car, I thought that the auto dimming feature on my driver's side rear view mirror stopped working so I called the salesman that sold me my car to complain about it and he was like "uhhh your car doesn't have that feature!" I was like "ummm...yes it does." I wanted to tell him to go to Lexus' website and read up on the car's features and know what he's talkin' about the next time he opens his mouth!

Anyway, as it turned out, the auto dimming feature was working (they tested it with a flashlight) but for some reason, it doesn't appear to be that dim when I'm looking at the mirror from the driver's side compared to the passenger side mirror.

youd think they would research these cars "to a T" before they go saying that stuff . . . i just dont get it . . . Then again almost every car I have bought I knew more about the actual car i was buying than they did. the cobra I have now . . . as soon as I saw it i knew it was lowered, had subframe connectors, and exhaust . . . oh wait the salesman said it was stock down to the filter though. JEES!
