2006Specb122 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 So far.... we have confirmed there is NOT a video INPUT on the 2006? Correct?... Different unit? How about a full console swap... 07 in 06 car. Center console and cubby hole with aux input. Anyone want to try? while we're at it we should install memory seats for the 06 as well...

If you're getting this information from above, that's from a EDM legacy 3.0R. My 06 has the input and it works great. Also have the Jazzy Mod. I'm awaiting something in the mail I'm going to use instead of a dvd player, I'll post up when I have it all installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo427 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 So can u switch between Video and Nav easy and does this also allow you to do NAV entries when moving, what about having some kind of video switch so you could also hook it to backup camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo427 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Here's a 12v video switch, you can switch up to 4 things http://shoptronics.com/jemoviswwi3s.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMouseGT Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The Nav and Video are independent from each other, so switching between the 2 is as simple as pressing the Map or the Info button twice. No, make Nav entries while moving check the other thread where you have to ground a pin on the unit under the seat. I do not have any experience with the backup camera so can't help you there.

jikhead Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm simply putting a reply here so I can find this thread later....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiller5 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I did this and also did the work-around by grounding out the screen. Works great. I use it as my backup camera. I am getting a DVD player in the mail today and am using a passive switching system in my glovebox to select between DVD and backup camera.

dmiller5 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I am using a passive radioshack switch that I had lying around from years ago. It's a simple two button switch that requires no power since it's all analog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon in CT Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 No need for a switch. The Nav display has a separate video input for a backup camera and will switch to it automatically when the car is in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiller5 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 ^^ Yea, but requires that molex connector right? I just said screw it and am gonna use the switch. That and I can stare at people behind me without putting the car in reverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain I thought when you hook up the camera it connects to same video in didn't see another input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo427 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 My bad re-read the "Another OEM NAVI Features Hack Thread again" I see the molex, when I read it last time thought they were using the video input RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cll Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 stupid question...as most of this went over my head...so i apologize from the start will setting up the nav to play dvd as indicated in this thread, impact the ability to use my ipod through the audio aux input? seems like it should, but like i said...i'm either drunk or confused thanks!

dmiller5 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 well the display only has a video in. In order to run sound, you need to tap it through the aux. I have two cables running to my console, one for my ipod and one for my dvd player. just swap them manually whenever you want to switch between ipod and dvd. Oh and to anyone reading this, I have extra MOLEX connectors pre-wired for back-up camera for sale. They wouldn't let me buy just 1 so I have a bunch extra. PM me if interested. I am not selling them at a profit, just trying to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish11 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Does cutting the wire behind the nav screen and grounding it enable you to enter nav destinations while driving, or does this only enable access to the video input while in motion? thanks.

iMouseGT Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Grounding the wire behind the nav enables video during motion. Grounding the wire under the drivers seat enables input. Does cutting the wire behind the nav screen and grounding it enable you to enter nav destinations while driving, or does this only enable access to the video input while in motion? thanks.

dr_sharp Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thank you OP! I was feeling adventurous so I wandered out and gave this a shot. Really pretty easy. I don't have any device to output composite video other than my digital camera so I plugged it in to ensure that everything was working properly. Also took a short video [ame=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8959000736214059486&hl=en]DigiCam A/V out to LGT nav system[/ame] I didn't want to run a wire around back there so I grabbed a DMM and found a purple wire that is GND. I jumpered from the 'blueish grey' to the purple wire to keep the parking brake sensor happy. Be very careful and check with a DMM first before you do this because there are 2 purple wires in the harness but ONLY 1 is GND! Once again thatnks for the detailed write-up. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Actually now that I think of it... purple is a very strange color for ground. Does anyone have a pinout of that harness? I'm a little worried purple is for some other sensor and may not be a good idea. Thanks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natoli4 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 thanks for the mod! Went over to Apple store and bought a AV cable for the new Iphone. Ran it to the center console and wala! Instant theatre!!! It's got to be the best mod I've done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
