Has anyone installed the Tv&Go PNP group buy package with
Dvd Player
Antenna
Backup Bullet Camera
FM Modulator

on 2006 A/T Navi Tl.
If so kindly post the Pictures and other details of the install. Thank you.

 

Yes, I did it all. 06 TL with Navi.

1. Dom's Plug-n-play Navi Converter.
2. Accele Vision 8500 DVD player
3. Wendy from Ebay's small camera
4. Tweeter's hard wired FM modulator instead of Dom's
5. Didn't use TV antenna from Dom.

Install was a few hundred I believe. I can't remember right now. It's 2:00 am, haha. But after it ALL was said and done. I paid $1,010 for EVERYTHING installed. The install is perfect .. so I can't complain.

Small DVD player fits in the glove box:

Remote compared to cell phone size:





Camera install: You cannot see the camera at all standing behind the car. You actually have to like bend down and look up above the license plate to see it. It's great. It's like the width of a quarter. Hard/impossible to use if its raining real hard ... but that's fine ... I dont mind looking in the mirrors every now and then. Also, the night time pics are good as well. But never took those pics. It's a great product.

Red Eye Sensor for DVD player remote: This is the 1st compartment under the radio.



Can't get any better than this ... I wish I had this when I bought the stuff. And the Navi converter unit is mounted on the right side of the trunk behind the lining.

Good luck man!

 

Very nice and clean! Thanks for the pics

 

Thanks and your welcome!

BTW: The red switch above the DVD player is to switch the video feed on/off between the DVD player and the Navi unit. Then the silver knob to the right of it is to turn on/off the FM modulator for the sound from the DVD movies!

 

Doesn't the navi screen only display 256 colors? If so, how do the movies look? I'm probably missing something here, but quite interested if you could tell me more... my 06 TL is only 4 weeks old now and I havent really gotten into all the aftermarket fun yet

 

Here is how I just completed the DVD upgrade. I did all the work myself including the wiring, mounting of controls, custom fiberglass box and shelf located in the trunk.



DVD is placed in between the back seats under a custom made shelf.

i have one question. do you get any engine niose in your speakers and how did you get the dvd player sound to come thought your speakers. i have done thesame thing with 2 dvd players and a xbox. just curios about the engine niose

 

I don't get any engine noise. Sounds great!

 

awsome job with installing everything, including the sub and the amp/shelf. Very original.

 

Nice job busyboy...clean install...hey where did you buy your dvd player from?

 

Thanks for the compliments.

I got it off of eBay. It is model: Blaupunkt DVD-ME3, which has everything you need including a built in TV tuner. Here is a link that contains the full details.

 

I wish I knew how to make a fiberglass box!! Looks awesome
How much would you charge to make another?

 

nice install

 

I think there is a limited amount of colors that the Navi screen can display, yes. But the movies are pretty good quality and I can't complain. Obviously its not going to look like a plasma of HDTV or whatever ... but ya know.

 

did you hook the amp to all the speakers or just to the sub you put in thereand did you change the speakers

 

I hooked it to the sub only. I will get another amp for the remaining speakers, but have not gotten to that point yet. I would like to replace all of the stock speakers eventually.

 

There is a way to get rid of the switch you have that you use to toggle the video to the nav. Dom can explain it to you, but by cutting off the toggle switch on Dom's box and putting a relay in its place, the remote turn on wire from the dvd player operates the relay which operates the switch. When you turn on the dvd player, the relay automatically closes the the connection and turns on the video. Turn off the dvd player and it goes right back to nav.

Also, throw that FM modulator away. I don't know how any of you can stand the hiss and distortion. Tap into the xm wires. It is easier than hooking up the FM modulator and the sound is just amazing. And its louder.

 

I personally like the option of being able to switch from device to device depending on if you need to view the navigation for any specific reason while the DVD player is on. If I am understanding you correctly, you would NOT be able to do that with this method unless you turn the DVD player off. Correct? Seems like a cool idea if you don't use the nav that much.

I would agree with you on the FM modulator and how it's a piece of crap. I installed the Pie HON2 adapter, which gives a far superior signal.

 

I didn't even know it was possible to tap into the XM wire signal! Any specific details on how to do that and any link for the Pie adapter?

 

Do a search for aux audio input and xm. Its so easy its stupid. If you don't use your xm, you don't need any switches or relays. Since I don't, it took me 1/2 an hour to hook up.

 

Search for the USA Spec unit. I just got mine, and seriously installed it in 10 minutes. It's hooked up to a DVD player. It's great working with XM and navigation!
