2009 NAV video integration

hi all,
i've been reading throughout the forums and havent found the simplest method for doing this, if any. i have an '09 mini S hardtop with the NAV. i want to add another video source since the DVD player doesnt play DVD's. i found this here: http://electronics-pluz.com/nabmmiconavi.html as the unit im assuming would do the integration allowing me to add, for example, a sony PSP. has anyone done this or know what to use to do so. again, in the simplest form possible. basically some kind of plug n play scenerio(haha). i spoke with the company in the link, and they say there is two types of NAV's in the 2009 model, one with a round connector and one with a square connector. also says all that needs to be done is to install the unit between the screen and factory harness. any info on this would be awesome...thanks again..

The UK vendor NewMiniStuff has some video interfaces that will work in your car: http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop...roducts&cat=37

I've been looking to try and find a kit to add video input to the NAV system also.

Did you have any luck contacting the vendors?

Thanks for the video demonstration...

But do you have any information on how to actually make that happen?
