Tap into NAV rgbs cables?

Hey guys, Im trying to get a video input from an iphone into the nav. I have a composite nav switcher and a vga to video out (yellow video cable) converter.

Does anyone know what pins on the VGA match up to the 4 rgbs cables? I tried searching but I cant find anything definite....

Yeah. Basically just trying to figure out a cheaper easy way of tapping into the nav other than the 250$ av electronics one.

rgb is only part of it -- the sync frequency is what is going to get you. its far more complicated than just matching up wires. i have an av switcher i might get rid of for $200 if you were interested

like i said, it's not just a matter of mapping pin outs. there is a partial DIY to get VGA into the nav but it still requires hardware that runs over 100 bucks and you'd still have to implement the input switching on your own, and no reverse cam etc.
