Talking Get a DVD player from Wal-Mart

Blunt answer: no - not possible. First, the screen is a 256-color display and for DVD playback you'd need at least 65k if not 16M. Second, the unit has no DVD decoder in it and even if a genius would squeeze in a software decoder, the SH4 processor couldn't handle it.
Aim lower instead; try asking for MP3 playback capability, CD-text, a better audio display, etc.

Hi akunc. Welcome to Acurazine.

Yes, please do a search. The Navi screen can be used as the display for DVD playback and more. Just need to browse or search the Audio, Navi, Bluetooth subforum.

I'll help you out with some threads:

It's pretty easy if you follow the directions. Might take a few attempts. If there is anything you don't understand, just post your question. Lots of helpful people on here.

Not bad for not knowing what you are talkin about....hundreds of people have added an external dvd player with a nav to dvd conversion module. It is possible because I have the ability to watch movies on my nav screen.

Ok, ok, ok

I imagined he was trying to pop a DVD disc into the slot and watch the movie. Thanks for not being too harsh on me.
