Been looking around and it does not look like it exists.


I am looking for a video adapter for the stock NAV system. My problem is this my controller for the NAV system does not work. It does not light up nor will it work when I click enter to continue after it loads the NAV disc. I have tried a new disc I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING!!. I even tore out the center console, I cant tell if its the controller or the wiring.

Anyway

Instead of paying to have it looked at I want to just put a computer in it. The only issue I see stopping me is getting the video to the LCD. The easiest thing I can think of is getting an adapter to get the video to the stock NAV LCD. Its useless now because it works but I cant control it.

If any one has any ideas or solutions please let me know, I would rather not take apart the whole dash trying to get video to the LCD.

Also if anyone in the Chicago area will meet me and let me use there NAV controller to test if its the wiring or the controller please let me know....I will even pay you.

 

Broken controller? Controller plugged in?


I might not be understanding your problem then.

 

The controller right below the shifter, it just pops out there are 4 metal clips that holds it in. Its connected by a cable and runs to the DVD in the back. It also looks like the video runs right from the DVD player in the back to the LCD.

Hmmmm and one know of anything like this. I looked for documents and could not find what the stock LCD connectors look like or a document of what cable is for what.
