Navigation on Non-Navigation GS
sweet. im so doing this. i actually just jailbroke my iphone about a week ago. i love how you can pretty much use your iphone as a carputer and have everything show up on the navi screen. would be great for all the youtube videos i downloaded.
ps if anyone wants to do this and needs their iphone jailbroken, feel free to pm me. it works fine on the several 3Gs that i have done but not so well on my buddies 3GS.

what if i have an samsung instinct?what can i use then? i once saw a non navi gs install a pioneer cd/dvd single din under the screen removing the oem cd part. is this possible just using the monitor but hooking up a new cd/dvd player ?or even an rca output to hook up xbox360 or ps3?
vaistech has ipod integration, but with the instinct, i am not sure if there is any easy way to connect. you can hook up a dvd player to the car, vaistech has unit that gives you a rca connection, so you can do dvd players, xbox, or ps3. you can ask vaistech or prestigious for more info. i installed one unit on my friend's car, pretty neat setup

Okay, I'm looking at buying the Vais unit to try this, but I'm unclear on a few details;
- what does "You just need to add video out capabilities to your iPhone " mean? Do I just purchase Screen Split or Tv-Out app?
- you say "Nav Hack required" Does that just mean cutting a wire? If so, which one- is it the same as the one on the Nav units??
- is there a posting on how to get the head unit out??

I would wait - there is a new iPhone Vais unit coming out soon. Like in about a month.
Regarding the nav-hack or motion override - see the FAQ and DIY sticky thread on the 3GS forum page. Same on getting head-unit out. The FAQ and DIY thread has everything you need to know.

Adding video out capability to your phone means jailbreaking it and adding a video out app. If you search for navigation on non-navigation GS you should find more details.

The only thing I'm not clear about is how you would go about activating the video out on this vais unit, since I don't have DVD on my car.
Yep, I'm not an iPod lover myself, but this is very tempting for a few reasons... to replace the ugly audio interface on my 06 and to eventually(?) use iPod/iPhone GPS apps... though I don't think iPods have GPS (yet) and there is no way I'm buying an iPhone for that as the total cost of getting it all up and running would be totally insane since I have no desire to replace my android phone with an iphone.

on the other hand, for example my car, i have ml and thus i have dvd video. but if i use sl2vi-p4, it does not "replace" my current video mode, it will create another mode for ipod video
