How to get DVD on OEM Nav?
Hi all, new to the forum and new proud owner of 2004 RX330. Greetings.
So I got the factory Nav, backup cam package but opted to not get the 'factory' DVD package. Now I'm trying to find a way to get DVD video's to play in the Nav screen.
From the help of the forum, it seems that only the Vaistech parts will be the only ones that can work this way. www.vaistech.com. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is there any other methods that anyone knows of?
Also, does anyone with this system have any experience that they can share? How does the backup camera work, Nav, climate, etc. work while a movie is being played?
I'm also assuming that I'll need an external DVD player and I was thinking about the Audiovox system where the headrests have the DVD player and screens. Also, anyone have any thoughts on this as well?
Thank you all for your help and I'm happy to be a part of the ClubLexus.

Thanks for the link, StrmRdr23. It look interesting. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
Noosense00, the link does work for Vaistech, I just tried it.

Hi Noosense00, I'm just outside the city. How about you? Are you thinking about doing this to? I'm trying to look into local guys to do the install.
I'll let you know if I find anything out. Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks!

The last I heard the vaistech unit did not work on the RX330 yet because it has been untested and something to do with the reverse camera. They were looking for someone to work with them that has a RX330 to test on. I was thinking of giving them a call, but I live in Hawaii and I have a non navigation unit. For me, I only need the aux/audio unit to work which also is untested onj the RX330. If someone close by to them wants to give them a call I think many of us would be appreciative since I too want to hook up a DVD player to my system.

Hi StrmRdr23, thanks and I hope to post pics if and when I can get it to work. From the sounds of it from CK6speed, it doesn't look promising but I'll give them a call and ask them. (got busy the past few days)
Hey Noosense00, if I find anything out, us NY people could do it together and maybe get a discount?
If they need a test subject for the RX330, I may do it (but I have to check with the boss first - since it's HER car
Aloha Ck6speed, wish us luck.

I got an email back from the guy's at vaistech and according to them the AIC-100 which is just an audio only AUX input will work on the RX330. He also suggested the AVIC-100 which has video input if you wanted to run a DVD or PS2. However, I specifically asked for a non navigation equiped car so I'm not sure if it wil work on the nav cars or really why I would need the AVIC since I can plug my video directly to the monitors. Anyway, looks promising and those that are interested should probably contect them directly with their proposed set up and see which product will work for you.

AVIC-100 video while car is moving?
Hi - I'm seriously considering the AVIC-100 for my 2001 rx300, but after some correspondence with VAIS, they've told me that I cannot have video running while the car is moving... I'm hoping that somebody has experienced otherwise... anyone?
(before anyone gets that urge to give the "you shouldn't be watching tv while driving" speech - its for my passenger. We drive a lot, she gets bored.)

Out of Warranty
FSES - Front Seat Entertainment System
It's pretty much a liability issue. A shop that hooks you up with an "entertainment" screen visible from the driver's seat is breaking the law in many states, and leaves themselves and you open to all kinds of liability in case of an accident. (Good luck trying to prove you weren't looking at it.)
If your passenger gets bored, you might try something like this:

Simple, cheap, portable - and you can take it into the motel room at night and play it through the in-room TV! At under $200, buy one for each passenger - it's a lot cheaper than the RSES. . .
