I'm looking for the DVD kit that can transform my Navi into a DVD player. I checked out the Acura FAQ and the page either seems to be down or I really believe it no longe exists.

So if anyone has a page or some info to contribute it would be greatly appreciated.

Tnx

shit, that would be a dream come true, but the bad news is that the nav screen might be limited in images it displays, and the movies wouldn't be compatable, I think. but post info If you get some, I really am not sure...

 

there is a kit.....i believe StreetEffectz sells them....

 

Yea the Sound Advice that my friend worked at tried it with a CLS w/ Navi and would only come up with red, blue, green. Well all that sounds great but not when u can only watch one color at a time .

Is there a web site or a number that I could call and get a catalog?

I knew it, I would just want to whatch it in B/White, is that an option?

 

There is a kit that will let you watch DVD's on your navi screen. Go to acura-tl.com and do a search you can also ask streeteffectz and I am sure he can hook you up as well. It is a novelty that sold me on the car and I would highly recommend it even if just for novelty sake(I got it to make the gurls creeeaaaaammmm).

 

If anybody can get some real info out of this, please post a link or something. I am willing to buy this dvd player. how much is it, and is it true it only plays one color at a time?
StreetEffectz, help out

 

I've been watching DVD movies on my CL Navi for several months now.

bout how much does it cost for me to go to a shop and ask them to make my nav play movies?
or do I have to install a screen in my visor?
I really need some solid info, like a starting point

 

This thread from the TL forum describes it in explicit detail... look for STEVESTMS's post half way down.

He describes the exact process to modify the Pioneer video converter and which wires to tap in the car.

Hope this helps.

 

Did you take a look at my link?

First you need to decide how much or how little you wish to do. You must have a portable DVD player and then you should determine if you want to use the video, the stock Navi display, or another external display as your screen. I'm doing all three.

Most if not all of the parts are listed at my link. That link probably won't be there long because Fotki is a paid service and I'm not paying anything.

 

actually there IS a nav conversion kit, and WOW i have it on my car

you just need to buy the converter for around $120 bucks.

i'm installing the kit on a Bay area buddy's CL this saturday, and i was offered money to install the kit on MOST of the bay area peeps, since i have already done it myself.

so if your interested and live in the bay area, CA, give me a buzz and i can install it for you!

before i installed my kit on my own, i was quoted $400 bucks for the install at a local shop! screw that!

plus, i did my install a little different than the instructions on the TL site

I DID NOT RIP APART MY ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE!!!!!!!!!!!

you DO NOT need to even do that, it's dumb to do it that way!

i just tapped into the wires coming off the DVD rom in the trunk.

well anyway, contact me if you have any questions.

*EDIT*
the RGB converter uses a composite video input. so you can play most ANYTHING that has a video out, JUST like normal in your own house on your own TV!

i have my PS2 plugged in on mine and that little screen is sharp as hell! way better than most of the other "screens" in other cars. i think because the navi screen is like a monitor, and it has a great resolution! i have GT3 running on it ususally, and the cars are just so damn sharp!

and to get sound, you CAN buy an RF modulator for around $44 bucks at some places.

 

**ATTENTION EVERYBODY**

i'm gonna be doing a nav conversion this weekend at my house for a fellow club member, and i'm going to make BETTER instructions on how to do it since i will have a digi cam to take pics of the install process.

so if anybody wants to actually do this, process, i'm finally gonna make the instructions easier for everybody THIS weekend.

 

cool bro, make sure you cover everything, I can't wait to watch dvd in my ride.

 

Yes, it can be done, and has been done....I have done it on my own acura, and about 12 others. All colors work, as a matter of fact, the image is better than a lot of aftermarket screens.

 

yo, street, I'm over in yonkers, how far into NJ are you, how much would you charge, give me some feedback, I'm seriously gonna do this DVD conversion.

 

yea...StreetEffectz Did my awhile ago...

here's some samples

 

here is the actual link to the instructions
