Has anybody tried these out? I have plugged in a portable DVD player and a video camera.

I get sound through the stereo system but no picture. After a while the nav screen says the video will resume when the vehicle stops (even though I am sitting in the garage in park).

I wonder if I am doing something wrong, there's a glitch in my car, or something wrong with the system in general.

Anybody have any luck getting video on the nav screen?

Have you tried setting the parking brake?

I believe your parking brake has to be on also for it to work. Safety precautions from Infiniti.

Just a question, are the aux input jacks standard RCA jacks?I found a ipod docking to Dual RCA cable but I don't want to end up with a $40 wire if the connector is not the right one and I can't seem to find that info from anyone at Infiniti, the manual or online.

I thought somebody already did. I think you have to remove a lot dashboard stuff and the LCD too...and do some rewiring.. too much trouble for me..

Two things have to be done. One is that the AV unit has to think the car is sitting still and the handbrake on. Fairly easy fixes to this in a basic way. It needs to be restored in order for the nav unit to work properly.
