Where is the Nav video input

Saw some people putting video up onto their nav screens, just wanted to know where the video input was before i start tearing into it.

Thanks,
Chad

The Nav unit is under the passenger seat.

Is that also where the video input is? I know the dvd unit is under there, and also what kind of jack is the video input? RCA?

IIRC, there's not a straight plug in.

See this post, and look at other posts by TheOfficeMaven - he's the video guru around here.

I'm not sure about being a "guru", but thanks for the ego boost.

Anyway, I actually gave up on using the OEM video box as, in the end, it gave me really poor video quality. The video input I'm currently using is called the Nav Tool. It works great, it's 100% plug-n-play, and it's surprisingly cheap (at only $199). I mention more about it (including a link) in my Zune thread here:

And you can see the video quality in the pictures I posted in the first post of the thread here:
