This is my next mod...question. I have the nav and hacked. Can i tap into the vid output and run to the monitors? or what did you do?? basically what i was thinking is to just dup what is on the navi screen. so if the navi is on then that is what will display and if the ML DVD is going then that is displaying.

thanks!

Okay who that has installed monitors in the rear seats with ML DVD/Navi has tapped into this and would like to share how and what they did?? I would appreciate any input on where this is an option. All I want to do is tap into the output and run that same feed to 2 monitors in the back.

Thanks
Mike

I had the monitors installed professionally so i dont know exactly how they did it, but the rear monitors ONLY play movies when a movie is in the front, they dont duplicate whats on the front screen all the time. I was told by multiple sources its impossible to make the 2 rear monitors slaves so they show everything the front monitor shows. Ive been told you CANNOT have the nav show up on the rear monitors.
