I recall a Road and Track staffer mention adding a gold fish to the speedo on the 07, models- I guess this is the closest I've seen to it actually being done. Kind of sucks you paid extra for nav that you feel is worthless I'm glad I didn't get that option!

It isn't really worthless

I just started the thread with a little witticism

There's something fishy about that map. Did the nav send you down a road with a bridge out?

JPMM, what else did you need to access/convert the video signal. I kind of like the aquarium idea...

You'll need the module sold/mentioned below, its plug and play, and one portable DVD player with outputs. I used a little battery operated FM signal transmitter for playing CD's on a radio for the audio because its easy

Give these guys a try ,its where I got mine.http://www.tvandnav2go.com/
