I have gotten it to work.
I own a 2006 IS250 with nav but without ML.
I now have the ability to add a video input to my system.
I made a post earlier about this but since noone replied , i went ahead and did it myself.
I will post a complete diagram of what i did to make it work when i am done.
Here is the link to the video that i took, since most ppl will not believe it without seeing it.

The file is 3.08 megs..

Why don't you start a new thread regarding this, this thread has gotten pretty huge and I think the majority of people reading it became discouraged and stopped checking it for updates.
Good job!

Alright that is awesome! Yes you have to post and tell us what you did. I'm very interested in how you got your camcorder to display on the screen! Of course I'll be either hooking up a DVD player or my iPod video...
Yes yes once again please let us know what you did.

I think the solution is pretty simple.
Don't use that cable if it does not work.
Use the back up camera hack to select the camera input with a switch.
This will allow you to hit a switch and then the navigation screen will pull up the camera picture....(if the hack works as stated in the below thread)
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...7&page=1&pp=15
But before this, hook up the audio signal utilizing the aux input.
(Your audio still plays when you are in reverse..right?)
Then just install another switch that will replace the camera picture signal coming from the camera, with a video signal from a dvd player.
It is going to be a standard ntsc signal...meaning a quick splice to the signal wire of the camera and a switch will override the camera to the screen.
all in all this should work as the rear camera works while the car is in motion.
This is what i am going to try at least..

the second one shows that when the switch is disabled...the reverse camera operates as normal.
