Playing DVD's on the NAV?
I just got my touring with the NAV system last weekend... I love it!
Anyway, I'm well aware that the nav system cannot play DVD movies unless modified. Does anyone know what needs to be done, is it difficult.
BTW, I'm not planning on watching movies while I drive, so no flaming please....
Thanks in advance....

I will try and save you from getting yelled at. Alot of people have asked that and you should search before you ask. Aside from that I spoke to a place in brooklyn that says they can do it for 1400 including the dvd player. I will get up there this week and let everyone know what the outcome is.

i talked to them at nav-tv they said it was 350 for the modulator and 75 for a TV tuner thats all. if you talked to www.nav-tv.com and call there 800 # u can get prices. only one draw back they will only sell it to audio stores. but those were the prices they told me.

then i guess there charging 1000 for labor. cuz i called sunday and the guy who i talked to said those prices. you should ask how much parts are and how much labor is. and when you get it done tell me how it came out and take lots of pictures

They quoted iternetabyss a price in that range but they told me they never did one on a 350z and didnt know what was required and needed a car to look at the sys so I was going to be the guineapig and go.

what they told me was they did it in a infiniti. and the nav systems are the same. but they also said that u have to hard wire it in the system. so unless your an electrician, i dont think you can do it yourself

Yeah they told me it was the same as the lexus. I would wait to order parts until its done by me or someone else I used to do installs so I will try to stay in the shop while its done and I will take alot of pics. My buddy just told me today that he knows someone over there so I'm gonna bring him with.

Nissan wasn't dumb at all. They were very intelligent with this decision.
The term "DVD" is used a lot for movies, when that isn't really the extent of what DVD means. When you hear VHS versus DVD, they are talking about the media format, not the fact it is a movie. This is similar to saying you want a Klenix, when you really want a tissue, not necessarily a Klenix brand tissue. Coke, Xerox, band-aid, are also terms used like DVD is used.
Respectfully,
Todd
