viewing dvds with factory nav system
 

we all know that the 8 is a car loaded with potential. my thoughts are that without any mods or spending any $, the nav system should be able to play dvd video format, but has been programed not to for safety reasons.

would some of you tech guys give me some input. there is always a cheat code somewhere or a secret something that no one knows about. i really really would love to watch dvds in my car i just need some help figuring out how :cool:

Search for it

just because the navi runs off a dvd drive doesn't mean it has a mpeg decoder.

to play dvds on your navi, you need an external unit to hack into the display, then something to play dvds, such as a portable dvd player or a sony playstation2.

It will run you $500-$700 for the unit to get into your navi display, then $100-300 for a dvd player.

Bingo

Welcome to RX8Club.com by the way. This has been researched allot, just do a search. Jason is right, lot's of money currently to get it done right.

what is this^^^

guess what? all you guys are exactly right.
i did some research and found out that i can purchase a convertor that would hack into the nav screen so that dvds could be viewed. that device runs around $300. plus i would have to get an additional dvd player and possible a power invertor if i was to use a 110v player. if i was to do all that, then there would be an audio issue, since the nav system only is wired to one speaker in the car.
all that not to mention that there is no guarentee my nav system will run right or be covered under warranty after modification.

guess what? there is a secret code to have it play DVDs...another member mentioned it, it is "up, down, left, right, b, a, select, start" :cool:

^^^^ I thought that was the unlimited gas cheat?

I'm waiting for the RX-8 Genie that plugs into the data port so I can activate all the cheats:
godmode driving ability
unlimited fuel
Full ECU programability
1000 Horsepower
1000lbs Torque
DVD's on NAV


:)

that is the mazdaspeed version but its only in JAPAN ^^^

Na uh! No unlimited respawning??

roket rider. whats the name of the device that hacks the dvd system. once that is in the thread, nobody with write anymore and this thread will disappear lol. easy as that

u have it all wrong... for the Konami Edition RX-8 its UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START

funny thing is I'm hooking a hacked xbox in and will probably be playing the original Contra in emulation on the nav screen in a few weeks

Dash Info after M-Flash
 

Actually, I also happened to stumble across the dash info display screens after you update to the M-Flash. See below:

lol i cnat tell sarcasm is there really a code you could type in or you guys just busting my chops? haha

who was being sarcastic? this is for real. ;)

I just with the controls were easier to use while playing. I can only get to level 7. It just gets to tough....one wrong movement or one wrong button, and you're dead. :( I like the nightrider emulater too!

Wait a minute....Is that an upgrade? I've been playing Pacman for the last 7 months!
