Video on a non-nav M45

[russhay78]

How do i get video on my 2003 M45 screen? It came with XM. I dont have navigation.

I have a nav and tech package so I know how it works for me, but try hitting the screen to "disk" a couple times and see if it goes to a DVD area. Also, the car must be parked and the parking brake on to see the video. Or do the DVD hack to watch while driving.

I need to know how to add dvd to my screen. It is the sat radio package.

If you ever figure this out, please post.

If you don't have nav, it is not a color screen, so any video options would start with replacing the monitor.

This might be a good start.

One of the electronics experts can probably chime in, BOON any suggestions?

Well since no one else has said how to do it I will post my thought. Remember, these are just thoughts on how it would work.

It looks to me like the screen has a proprietary connector that most likely hooks into the head unit/receiver in the dash. The receiver probably has multiple inputs and outputs through the connector to the screen. It wouldnt make sense to make multiple receivers for each option package so I would guess the compatibility is already there. So find out what type of inputs the receiver takes (most likely RCA inputs) and get a portable DVD player with those outputs. It might even have 5.1 RCA inputs so if you can find a DVD player like that you could get full surround sound working.

you can get video working on a non nav 03 m45. The link is on another forum that i dont think i am allowed to mention on nico. It has been done thru PAC audio components.

I have a non nav car but my screen is color I have a 2006. Could I just buy a factory DVD player of ebay? Is the wires already installed?

Post the info here if you have tried it and done it.

BTW, the screen on the 2003 M45 is color - even in the NON-Nav models (mine is non-Nav). The Infiniti application software only uses Orange apparently. You can tell this by trying to drive off with your parking brake slightly on - the big red box will show you the error of your ways!

the 06-09 M's have the RCA inputs in the back of the console. Plug in any video device and you can watch it on the screen. Do the 03's have the inputs somewhere?
