I thought I had read something about modifying your NAV unit so that it can play DVD movies. I wanted to find out more info on what is involved and the cost for modification. I also wonder about warranty issues if I were to have a problem with NAV unit.

I found this thread in searching, but all the links are dead. Maybe it has been awhile and that is why there is not recent info.

Here is the gist of it. It involves...

- Cutting/Spliceing/Soldering wires from the NAVI unit
- Purchasing the Pioneer AVC-RGB1 video decoder ($100-150). Note: Extremely difficult to find these days
- Having a way to input AUX sound into stock headunit. Either an RF Modulator or various other ways ($100-$200)
- Labor cost depends on who does it. If it's yourself then next to nothing but if it's a shop then its considerably more.

As for warranty concerns. There is a good chance the dealers can refuse service and/or replacments of NAVI parts if they discover it has been tampered with or (even worse) was the cause of the malfunction. I guess it's up to you if you are up to deal with that sort of stuff.

Hi Nestor,
Thanks for the info. I think I will probably pass on idea. I was hoping that could have both with minimal modification, but I didn't know that sound was an issue, too. I just assumed if the the voice worked with navigation DVD that the sound from DVD movie would also work. Thanks again.
Jeff
