Anyone know how to make DVDs display video on the full 12.3 screen? When I play a DVD, it only shows on the main (left side) screen.

I haven't tried it but page 175 in the Navigation manual shows a Full Screen button that the manual describes as "Select to display full screen video."

Thanks DFC. I tried using that button but it only makes the video display "fully" on the main (left side) screen.


(Disappointing if the system cannot take advantage of the full 12.3 screen . . .)

The screen is 1200x900 and a DVD is 720×480.
So it would look kind of stretched if filled the whole screen.
But then again if it did we would complain about that.

I am pretty sure you wont be able to display/scale across the whole screen.

I asked the Lexus tech guys how to install a wallpaper image for the "screen off" background. Not a single image I used across several resolutions would occupy the whole screen. I even installed a background image exceeding the 1200x900 and it was shrunk down to fit the old screen size with black borders. I was told the display had alot of old legacy "code" forcing the old display resolutions down to 8". Bummer....

Good to know.
Lexus sends out lots of surveys so we should all make sure to let them know about it.

Yeah I was hoping to utilized the full 12 inch instead of half! Did the Dvd in motion install!

Wait wait wait... back up for second. Are you guys talking about an aftermarket DVD player OR there's one that comes standard OR is this an upgrade you had to pay for?

The RX is able to play DVDs currently with the stock unit.

I noticed the DVD only displays when the vehicle is in Park. Does any one know how to override this and display during Drive? The rear passenger kids are asking.

Here is a DIY on how to install the unit:

It only operates when the car is stopped in order to reduce the chances of distracted driving.

Can the entire screen be used to watch a DVD?
The nav screen will not go full screen when watching a movie.
Any suggestions or tips would be helpful
Thanks

i Just had this install on my 16 RX350 and love it. I would only wish that i can play video files with my USB drive.

TIA.

Not sure about USB but you can plug your iphone into the 3.5mm jack using a converter (or several converters).


I recently did this to test it and it works. I haven't installed my Nav/DVD override yet.
These are the cables you need to use the 3.5mm port with your iPhone.
Lighning to HDMI:
HDMI to RCA:
RCA to 3.5mm 4-pole:

You'll need a short hdmi cable and some RCA couplers to connect them all together.
This is what I got:
