Does anybody know how I can play videos on my stock Navi? What do I need? If anybody has an idea please dont hesitate to let me know.

 

there is a kit you can buy that makes it possible. unfortuneately i can't remember their name, but you should be able to find it with a search. or most good stereo shops can figure out the wiring and install a switcher and set it up for another signal input.

 

Thanks OZ1... Anybody know where I can get this kit? Or at least the name of it?

 

I think the kit he might be referring to is just a switch/convertor box that you plug devices like a laptop, game console, backing up camera, etc. and you plug that switch box to your navi screen. The switch/convertor box cost $400-500usd

Now if you are talking about some way of making the dvd player that has your map data be able to play movie once you insert a dvd movie, I believe it is not possible, or at least I have not heard of anyone that has successfully done it.

 

Hot damn thats a lot of money. Anything cheaper? I was thinking like 300 at most. But thanks for the info.

 

I think the switch box is the way to go since the OEM Navigation DvD player costs around $900 - $1,000 to replace and any modification to the unit would void your warranty.

 

Thats definitely true. But I also heard alpine had a box that does the same functions for around $350. Not positive though.

Thats good stuff man. For what it is, it sounds much better than $400-$500

 

Take a look at this forum http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/s...&threadid=2301

I bought a Navbox from Generator and it works great. You have to use a Xbox to run your video but it fits perfect in the glovebox and you can play games as well. Let me know if you need anymore information.

 

Here is generators website. I hope this is ok to post Moderators.

You can see it in action. I have installed two of these units and they work great.

 

The thing is I dont know about cutting any wires. I wouldnt want to void the warranty.

Yes, I believe that is the sort of box I remember being $400-500 in price: http://www.avelectronic.com/NavigationVid-Switcher.htm

Basically it's pricy because it basically has tons of inputs.

 

Last time I checked, generator was not selling the NavBox any more. It is unfortunate that he stopped selling them as I think it was the best way to add an XBox to the Z. Definitely one of the less expensive methods to utilize our factory Nav screens.

Maybe if we drum up enough support, he'll start making them again.

 

Does anybody in NJ do these types of installs? For a reasonable price that is.
