anyone use one of the kits to display a vid source onto the nav screen?

I have one I got for 199.00 plus shipping on eBay, hooked up the rearview camera to one input and the other to a DVD. Works perfect, the screen resolution is great. I have the touch screen NAV. I am running the Video Ipod through the DVD front inputs ( in AUX mode) and evertyhing integrated well. I feed the sound from the DVD into the Truck audio system with a PAC adaptor that is plugged in the rear of the nav unit ( that is separate from the video interface). I am actually running 2 screens off the dvd, the NAV screen and a drop down I installed on the ceiling. The trick was to get a DVD with dual video output. Mounted the DVD under the rear seat and pulled the wires under the carpet.
The mod to get the video on the NAV is relatively straight forward. It comes with decent instructions except where to get the 12V to power the video box. The wire they are talking about does not have the juice, at least it didn't with mine. I ended up gettting the 12V from a swtiched source under the dash. Other than that follow the instructions on the ribbon installation and don't button anything up until you test it. Find a good and covenient spot for the toggle switch and you are all set. Be careful with the installation of the ribbon and in the bottom connector. It does not want to go in easily. I "helped" it with a pair of twisers being careful not to bend it or break the wires. It is fragile. Have patience and work it in . Once it is done, you will be pleased with the results.
