Thanks in advance.If you want to convert your navigation system to play DVDs, then there are generally two ways of doing this. The way I wetn was to purchase the TV tuner from avelectronic. I talked to Sam on the phone (he is a stand up guy) and my order was shipped to me faster than I expected. The TV tuner (it also has two A/V inputs and two A/V outputs, all for $525 + shipping. The unit is completely plug and play. I can vouch for the unit that I had the thing installed by myself in under an hour (including taking apart the rear seat and center console).
The other option would be to buy the unit from vsolklov (spelling?). I have heard recently that his unit is cheaper and is now plug-and-play. I would have bought this unit, but the avelectronic unit was the only plug-and-play unit available at the time.
You can also try this sticky:

It should be specified that this allows the SCREEN to display a video signal from some video source, like a DVD player.
You don't get to make the DVD driver in the Nav box play DVD's for you. You will still have to buy a DVD player (not clear from your post if you got that or not...)
You also don't get any audio unless you add an SHOND or something like that...and since the '05 is an issue for the SHOND (doesn't one come in the av electronic kit?) some custom work on the XM harness wiring in a switcher or a pair of relays is required. No SURE solution tothe 05 AUX in has been published yet...
