Navigation system components?

Post by g60renshaw » Sun Oct 10, 2010 9:54 pm

Right. Did a bit of an impulse buy this evening on a very cheap 4:3 Nav Unit off eBay.

Simple question. What exactly is required for it to work with DVD video input (already have DVD changer and rear screens), Navigation and Audio.

I am assuming I need the complete Nav loom, Navigation DVD unit. Would I need the TV tuner for the DVD video input to work?

What inputs are there in the back of the Headunit?

Basically I want to be able to see what is playing on the rear screens in the front of the car, for the missus and also to be able to control the DVD system.

AFAIK you will need the tv module to get the picture to the front as this is where i used to plug the tv in motion lead into untill using the resler to activate it.And yes you will need a nav unit and loom,though i'm not sure if the loom would already be there or not?

Yeah I wondered if the loom might be there already.
