    Yep.

    any video controller can do that. Just install it and plug a dvd player into it. There's also a group buy going on now for iPOD adapter/AUX Input. With that, in the future, they'll offer an iPOD video jack so that you can play videos via iPOD video on the screen.

    What I need to know is how to install it. I have the mods for the ipod for the music and I have the mod for the override on the agree screen what I need is how to plug a dvd player or tuner into the screen. I figure there must be a module or directions or something. Any help is appreciated so thx ahead of time.

    Just for the heck of it I went to coastal electronics and called them. They have a module that when plugged in has 2 video inputs and the sound comes through the car system. Although they are not shipping yet I ordered one from them. thx for all the help

    Em, this is just a warning, but they've had that advertised on their site for some time. Did they give you a definite date they were shipping? I waited 5 months for the auto-lock kit and 9 months for the NAV kit (I got the EV kit in a little over a week). You may want to check out the ones BobR posted. If Coastal is shipping theirs soon, then cool.

    I don't have navigation, so none of the options I listed will work for me except for CAN View and VAIS.

    I'm waiting for the VAIS Tech video interface, which should be out this summer.

    Didn't someone figure out this was Coastal Dave's company?

    I don't have NAV, so I can't help you hack that part. But, if you have a 2006, don't forget about the backup camera analog video input:

    At the bottom, Darell pasted an email I sent him that tells how to loop the video to an external input jack.
