The kit can be purchased through SteveStMS@aol.com
The "deluxe" kit (meaning with Audio) includes an NTSC -> RGB video decoder allowing you to view a video signal on your navi.
It also includes an RM Modulator to allow you to listen to the audio on your stock headunit.
YOU WILL NEED: A device to output video. Such as a portable DVD player or TV tuner. I will be using my PlayStation 2.
I hear this kit isnt very difficult to install. But I suck at this type of shit... so I'd rather pay Ron to do it.
Check this post in our Audio/Video forum for pics & other info:

I kinda suck at major electronic installs too; but I live too far away so I would have to give it shot myself. I'm that close to considering it. Simply for the coolness factor.

I know I ask so many questions but here's another. Will this cause any damage to the Nav screen, burn it out or something? I think it's awsome but I was just wondering about how long it would last. Thanks for puttin up with me.

If ya ask my opinion... I dont see HOW it could cause damage.
The nav screen is a LCD that displays RGB input...
It is essentially doing the SAME thing no matter what colors it is displaying the entire time its on.
I only see a risk of problems if you turn your car into your familys home theater.
... Just dont let your kids touch the screen with their buttery fingers. ick!

Isn't our navi screen only capable of displaying 256 colors? That would look shitty for watching DVD movies.

If your confident enough in yourself to take apart your dash... then you can install it yourself.
Otherwise just bring the instructions to a stereo shop and have them do it.
