Price is $350 for cables and wires to connect to the OEM Nav screen. Basically you get factory sound without the hissing and much higher video signal than the FM modulator because everything is connected straight to factory raido and LCD screen. You just need to purchase a seperated DVD player and all is a go!! I'm going to get a DVD player at FRY'S that plays MP3's, VCD's, DVD R's DVDRW's and CDR's for under $100. So with Parts and Labor I'm looking at having my Q with Factory DVD quality for around $500- 600 installed. I'll let you know when everything is done and will post pictures. Right now the only thing I have a hard time deciding where to put the DVD player... the center console seems to shallow so I'm left with either in the glove box or under the seat. I might do the glove box but I have my tape player in there and that will cost more $$$ to have that taken out to add the dvd player.

Re: Alternative to FM modulator to run DVD's through LCD screen (2005Q45inCali)
let us know how this goes, I bought a 1 din dvd player that has the aux port for mp3 or iPOD hook up and rca plugs up front for maybe a game system or something, p/u from ebay for 70 shipped its all black with light green leds so it will look clean and semi stock. but i need to know is there a way we can remove the factory tapedeck.

FM stereo transmitters vary in quality by price you can get them for $30 or $3,000 with varying in between grades.
You can buy 50, 60db s/n [$35-$75] ,70, 75 even 83+ s/n!
Kind of foolish to only transmit at 60 db/sn when the typical radio can receive and function at 73-75 db s/n.

Just a heads up...SoundGate site wrote:It is important to note that audio is not routed through this device - audio signals must be input into the factory system separately.
