I have read about overriding the park/low-speed restriction regarding the DVD systems, and until now, assumed my nav/dvd unit would actually play movie dvd's while in park... wrong!?!?

Seems I was mistaken... is the ability to play the dvd's in the dash unit only with aftermarket dvd systems?

(sorry for what I am sure is an obviously stupid question... must be having a blonde moment! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif )

Lo Lo. You will need to add a video adapter. Then you would be able to play DVD's through the factory NAV unit you can pick one up from here.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, FiremanJay ...

Even with the adapter you will not be able to insert a DVD in your factory unit and have it play on the unit's screen.

The adapter will allow you to play DVDs through another source and have those DVDs display on the factory unit screen.

I think.

correct you will need a switch adaptor and a dvd player. your nav screen is only a screen. when i bought mine i thought the same thing but figured out real quick i was wrong.

Thanks to all of you for the answers... guess I was just 'hopeful' with the thought that the Nav disc was DVD! Oh well, off to buy some more gadgets! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
