Default A/V connection

So I see the A/V connection as I cycle through the media mode... on my non-nav IS 250... anyone has tried it? what cable would work with it?

You need 4-pole camcorder av cable. Video will not play without handbrake depressed.
Red wire is actually video in not yellow.

try doing what I did in my 2010 Toyota tacoma. I was able to get the DVD player in the dash to work by pressing the E-brake pedal in just enough so that the brake light came on on the cluster, but the brake still hadn't actually engaged. Then rigged the pedal to stay in that position. Made my drive from Arizona to Florida go much faster.

Thank you. I tried with the cable I had in the house from my camera and yeah... it works but the fact that the eBrake needs to be enaged draws back the purpose... I was able to hook up my phone via HML -> HDMI2RCA adapter ..I was hoping to use it as GPS while driving but the brake thing defeats the purpose I wish there's a way to override that limitation ...

Tried it already but It will start to beeps with annoying sound once the speed reaches above 5mph. Even with ebrake partially on.
