Default NAV-Non ML people want TV/Video Input?

I think after waiting for a deal on this device...I finally found it. Its does the same thing as NAVTV but more affordable.

I've seen this similar device for $350+$20S&H on ebay this last year or so but for around $250-$300 with the Group Buy going on I'm about to hop on it.

I think this is better than the VAIS Ipod Video product because you can put what ever input you want...DVD, Game, TV Tuner, etc.

Check it out if you guys need another toy in your car.

I was thinking the same thing. And if you add a DVD player, it will reset to the begining of the movie everytime you turn off your car? I think it's kinda hard to put a DVD player in a good location in the IS too. I like the Vaistec sl2vi better. Just my opionion.

Isn't it just like any home DVD player? It will save at the last played spot. And people has put a compact dvd player in the glove box. It will fit. I was planning to get Vaistech but I rather have the option to watch a movie on DVD than watching movies through an ipod.. too much hassle.

At home there is power supplied so the dvd is in sleep mode and remembers where you left off. In a car, doesn't the dvd player complete powers down? Don't get me wrong, I like DVD in a car like the ML, but not so far in glove compartment where it's small/hot and needs a power supply too. Info on how to put ML DVD on our Navi will be the greatest thing.

Group buy is over today at midnight, they're from NY so I guess that is EST. So less than 10 hours left before its closed.
I jumped in too only 4 more to get the price down to $200.

a small car dvd/media player in the glove box will be fine. only other choice since most of us with nav didnt have the choice of getting ML cuz it was not an off the lot option. ML was almost all special order in 07 IS250's

If wired up correctly it will keep the move where you left off. Even if you had an overhead unit put in your car/suv! Everyone I have ever done in the past has worked like this for me.

The OEM ML leaves it where you left off also. Factory or not they will work the same
