yes there is a posibility.. you would need to find a converter which will allow you to use RGB cords... i'll try to find the site where you can find it.

Check out Nav TV.com (or something like that,lol). We've done a couple set ups with that, all you need is a DVD player/PS2 to watch DVD's movies or whatever. Thats the only one Im aware of and Im not sure they have it for a Z, but Im willing to bet they will have a conversion for the Z since they have one for EVERYTRHING else.

Apparently the Nav TV RGB2 works....I've never used it, but I have a wholesale account with the company, so if anybody wants one, let me know and I can it for a good price.

I looked on some other message boards, and a lot of the guys use it for a backup camera. It does audio, but through an FM modulator, and then you would just activate the audio and video through a switch.

well finally YES it can be done,nav-tv sells an adapter with 2 video outputs,this enables you to add a back up camera and a dvd player to the car also keeping your navig working. they told me this device is 575$ u.s. It attaches behind the screen in the dash somewhere,now the only problem is finding someone that knows how to install this, baby steps boys..

I can get it for way less than $575 if anybody wants it. I think around $300 shipped...

D@ActiveTuning why would we buy it from you if all you can do is match it? It would be smarter for us to buy it from the manufacturer for the same price. I was hoping you could get it cheaper for us or am I misunderstanding you?.........

ok guys finally got it,got it from a company called p l electronics out've brooklyn, there s a lot of companys that sell this product but they offered the best one,the device comes with a switch to switch it back and forth depending what you wanna see,camera,dvd or nav. T he best thing about this is when you put your car in reverse the back up camera autimatically goes on and your screen switches to view,also your talking nav will still talk to you if your driving and playing a movie,this thing looks great cant wait to install,for all those looking call this number and ask for DOMINIQUE 718-763-7300. good luck guys now just gotta find a affordable car dvd player,lol

I think the reverse camera feature is the same on all the units.

Post some pics and what not when you get it in.

Did it come with the backup camera? Is the DVD player the only thing you have to get separately? How much was it? It sounds like there's no downside to this. You don't lose the nav speaking to you or anything, is that true?
