You know what you want, you know how to do it, what's your problem?

 

Agreed.

 

do i have another option that i don't know of instead of garmin...like tablet or something? do you think hardwiring it to the radio is ok?

 

Sounds just like a normal navi question to me....


You can hardwire anything you want. A lot of the newer car electronics run off 5VDC. So hardwire the cig lighter plug in the car, hide it up under the dash somewhere and run the output to whatever you decide on. What's so difficult about this?

 

I thought you searched?

what i really wanna do is play movies and use gps in stock navi??? guess i should have been more clear sorry. trying to figure out or find a dvd player with navigation to put in my metra single din and then connect that to my screen i'll put in the stock navi......

 

Buy a single-din flip out monitor or sell your single-din Metra kit, buy the double-din and a navi double-din headunit. Call it a day. You're making this harder than it should be.

 

and i did see that but thats alot more work then i know how to do

 

sorry i just like the flip up nav and would rather have it there instead of it being in the radio section then my navigation uptop is now useless
