You mean you wanna do both of what i asked?

1. i don't think you can play movie DVDs using the factory navi unit.
2. if you want to watch movies on your factory navi screen, you need a deck that plays DVD or install a DVD player and use either Dom's Nav2TV or NavTool's unit.

yeah watch movies through the nav screen I would need a headunit that plays dvd's thats it would that and my navigation would still work fine i'll look in the other threads for it but yes thats what im looking for thanks

i looked more into it has anybody convertered there nav units using the nav2video setups i read in pretty much all the converters that they don't play the audio and that you would need to buy an fm transmittor/aux input but wouldn't buying a headunit that plays dvds cds mp3 cover the audio coming in through your speakers and I wanted to use the converter to dvd and also backup camera will this affect my navigation unit at all when i need directions and last question do any video to nav converter play video while driving i read a couple that only play while the car is in park??? anybody setup nav to video??

The converters are strictly "Video" converters. You need to think of it that way. The audio you need a adapter from what ever source you are playing the video/dvd from. Most units you can just ground the parking brake wire or whatever they use to prohibit you from using it while not driving.

All Navi converter let you play DVD an watch movie when you are driving. You just need to switch back an forth from Navi/TV. For the aftermarket unit you have make them work by using trigger switch or ground it to the brake.

If you buy aftermarket HU you will lose your Navi Sound. So now you have to learn how to retain your Navi sound. Below is link an DIY

Navi Conveter $175-200
Blitzsafe $75-100
DVD Player $50-100
Total Amount $325-up
You can still add rear view camera

Name Brand DVD player $400++ (only better unit have rear view camera option)
Off Brand DVD Player $300
Radio Din kit Single $20 or Double Din $30-40
Total Amount $325-up

As you can see it's about the same amount. The only question is do you want 1 or 2 Screen in you dash.

Good luck Man

I'd rather have 2. Might as well upgrade your stock radio, which is the first thing you should do to the TL.
