Can anyone tell me if there's anyway or a code to get my dvd nav to play dvd's? A friend with factory nav in his vette plays dvd's and i was wondering if ours does too. I don't think it does, but it doesn't hurt to ask. :kaboom:
DVD based Navigation

Good idea to buy a new car without the Navigation option for the 2k they want for it esp. if you want to play movies on it. You can buy a better one that closely matches the dash color for 1/2 that price. And use the 1K you just saved to buy yourself some mods.
I have never heard of a mod to make factory Navs play movies via DVD format. First the Navigation has to be able to play the MOVIE file type, which unfortunately the Navigation dvd is a differ file type then of dvds. Now since the factory radio can read MP3.... it may be possible to play movies via MP3 movie format with some type of modification to the factory radio.
I went with the Panasonic DVD player since it was a perfect color match to the factory dash. Most of the other dvd players didn't match.

I bought mine used with 500 miles on it for less than those w/o nav so if it won't play them, no big deal.Why you always buy a new car without the Navigation option. Buy a better one that closely matches the dash color. And use the 1K you just saved to buy yourself some mods.

Movies(video) can most definitely not be put in MP3(audio) format.....
For a few dollars more than the factory nav unit you can get this one. The damn thing even hooks up to the obd port.
