Garmin GVN 53

So I had bought a lockpick hoping to run my pc with a gps program installed through the MFD. I got it to work but was not all happy with the way it looked on screen, or the fact that the pc loaction was not stealhy enough. So I searched and decided on the Garmin GVN 53. I installed the "brains" in the map pocket and ran the wires down behind the center dash console. What a great installation. I hooked it to the video lead and it was perfect - EXCEPT the screen runs off the edges of the MFD.

Does anyone have experience with the GVN 53? I need to know how to work the advanced video settings screen. I know some combination of controls in there will solve my rpoblem but I haven't found them yet. I have emailed Garmin and am also waiting for a reply from them.

When I get it right I'll post pics.

 

Thanks - I'll have to make it work somehow. My answer from Garmin was that there are no advanced video settings, even though the manual refers to them.

To answer your question: possibly - I have not connected any of the mute wiring, an Id am using the included speaker with the unit. I very rarely travel with the radio on as we do not have an attractive range of stations here in the Sumter area. My next plan is to buy the GXM 30 antenna and sign up with XM. When I do that I will install the audio harness that game with the lockpick so that I will be listening through the stereo system.

The lockpick does not hack the rear view camera, it feeds in through a seperate video input (DVD?) on the back of the MFD (at least that's what I thought) and I do get an on screen image that is good, just too tall!

Just got in from some errands - I tried to use the radio and gps at the same time - I switch to the GPS through the audio setup - so if I switch to the radio it shuts down the dvd input that lockpick created where the GPS feed comes in to the mfd.

 

Thanks - I would hate to have to buy another unit so I'll keep plugging along
