Lorax,
KIs this what you are looking for?

Yes. I was hoping that there was something like that available when we purchased the van with navi. $200 seems way too expensive for just a simple adapter and switch though.
Using your lead, I've done some research. It seems that the monitor for the Honda Navigation System, like most other navigation systems, uses/requires an RGB signal from the navigation device. (I believe that this may have something to do with the "computer-based" foundation of navigation systems generally.)
However, most other video sources (DVD players, TV tuners, cameras) produce NTSC signals (either composite or s-video).
To use the monitor on the navigation system for other video sources requires an NTSC-to-RGB decoder.
I have found that Pioneer makes such a product (AVC-RGB1). The MSRP is $140, but I have found at least one retailer selling it for $100.
It may be possible to use this to use the display for other video sources.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about the detailed signal standards. I welcome any comments on the feasibility of using this product in this manner. I think switching from the navigation unit to the other video source probably needs to be handled just right to work.
