Anyone tried NAVTOOL or?

I have n 07 MCS with navigation and I found a website that has an interface that connects to your factory navigation and allows you to install a reverse camera and watch dyd movies, but they are always on backorder.
Has anyone had any experience with them or know of another interface that uses your factory nav screen for this purpose?


Thanks

You should contact Navtool and ask if it's really backordered, or discontinued, and whether they have another BMW compatible model.

Also try http://navtv.com/

Thanks for the feedback, it was a great site with a good contact to talk tech to. The only thing I am wondering that they brought up is how to get audio out of the DVD player? The interface they have only sends the video signal and doesn't have an audio in for a DVD player.
Is there a suggestion to allow me to get audio through my existing OEM stereo?


Thanks

You'll have to use the stereo's aux input jack.

You could also use a "FM Modulator".
