Friends: 0 | Re: Portable DVD Through the Nav Screen If your portable DVD player has bluetooth it will hook into the radio wirelessly, I did it last night with my iPhone, it was way cool  I have my iPhone hooked up to music thought the car via bluetooth and my son and I where thinking, if I had a Video on my phone it would go though my speakers and it does. We watched the video though my iPhone but the audio came though my car speakers. |
