Any1 check out the link i posted up?

Seems like they got a solution for us.

 

no one conquered this feat yet? =(

 

I actually went to their home page and then clicked, locate authorized dealer. I called them and explained the situation. What he told me was that it certainly could be done and easy to do. He said you need to purchase a converter to get video on the nav screen ($400-$500) then you needed an external DVD player ($150+ depending on model). $100 bucks to install. I asked him if it would play while moving and he said absolutely.

So for about $800 (on the high end) you'll be able to do this pretty easily. I'm not sure it is worth it for me for $800 but for those that want this badly it is available.

 

^^ yeah, you purchase the converter to get the video on the nav screen...however that presents our original problem...the only one we know of is TV&NAV2GO and at the present moment, they dont make an application for our car..boo

 

hmmm.. 800 is definately not worth it... a local shop charged around 650 and i thought that was too high..

 

Actually this company AVELECTRONIC has one.. http://www.avelectronic.com/Navigati...erfaceDual.htm
apparantly they released a budget version. Says it'll work and they even speak of a group buy...
Don't know if it'll work for sure with our cars.. Sent them an email

 

NEW Navigation Video Switcher with S-Video + Super TV Tuner - US$ Call

We should get a group buy for this one!!

 

600-700.. I'd do it.

I already found the price for the DVD Changer. Approx $350.

Please keep me updated.

 

dvd changer as in 6 disc dvd or as in the dvd converter?

 

As in what he said. Changer.

 

Great Thank yoU! I will wait for their email response to you.

To me, I believe the budget version is sufficient. All i wan to do is ADD PANASONIC 8 Disc DVD Changer.

Thanks again!
