Videos or Photos on the nav screen?

[EXpert]

Is the EX capable of playing videos or photos via the ipod connector? What about playing videos or displaying photos through the compact flash card?

[EXpert]

anybody?

I haven't tried it, but from the information on pages 4-45 to 4-49, I would think that only audio playback of MP3 and WMA files is supported.

The EX35 Owner's Manual says you can play video through the RCA auxiliary input jacks in the center console. See page 4-68. (yellow=video, white=left audio, red=right audio). I doubt you can play videos from a compactflash card. I don't know about the ipod connector.

it was my understanding that ipods could play video when the car was stopped.

i verified today that video does not play through the ipod connection (yes, i was in park and hand the parking brake on).

that's crapola. I was going to go buy a low end ipod just for that, but I guess not now.

That's odd?!? So, you followed the instructions shown in the Owner's Manual p.4-45 & p.4-68 and video wouldn't play? Have you confirmed that it does play if you plug your iPod into another monitor?

(I don't have an iPod, but I was certain others have reported this worked.)

There is a way to use an iPod to watch video on the screen. The G37 guys are doing it and EZcheeze15 has the hack done on his G37. I'll see if I can find the how-to steps or the thread going over it and post it here.

There is no hack to play video through the iPod connector. You must buy an iPod RCA adapter and play the video through the RCA jacks in the center console.

The video "hack" is only to allow video to play while the car is in gear and moving. Those directions are here: http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=331450

I can confirm that using my year old IPod Touch the $50 Apple RCA's the car in parka nd brake on - I've watched TV shows downloaded on the NAV screen.

what law? I'm not aware of any DOT regulation and there are no laws in my state that forbid it. I think it is more of a CYA thing Infiniti does.

It is illegal in most states (if not all) to have a video screen in the front of the car that can divert the driver's attention. Usually any screen that is either faced directly at the driver, or a center-facing screen that has the ability to display video while in motion falls under this category.
