i did on mine, but there is a slight downfall to doing it this way. i had to go through my a/v inputs in my center console. i soldered onto the video output of the circuit board. it works fine except in order to use it, i cant have anything plugged into the usb ports. i do however like the night vision my camera has.

You suck!

I believe only the 2013's have the a/v inputs in the center console. What type of camera did you use?

i guess you would call it an assissted night vision camera. it was a backup camera that i modified to fit the oem opening.

I'd like to pick one of these up... Do you have the Nav-Tv units in stock Noah?
not anymore. i sold our last one, last week. but if there are any other people interested, i can do another group buy. there are 3 members so far interested in it, and one member wants 2 of them. its just an opportunity to save some money, so if you want in, let me know and i will add you to the list

I have a 2013 Scab. Does anyone know the best way to use the Iphone 5 with the RCA cable for video feed? Does anyone make a lightning plug to RCA cord? Trying to set up my Navtv for video. I think that I can use an ipad with the RCA cord.

I found this when doing a google search.

"I ordered an HDMI cable, an RCA cable, a lightning to HDMI cable (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD...apter?fnode=45) and a hdmi2av converter (Amazon.com: ViewHD Universal HDMI to Composite / AV Video Converter, Support PAL / NTSC Standard TVs: Electronics)

I received the cables 2 weeks ago and received the hdmi2av converter today and I can report it works

The hdmi2av converter needs to be powered by usb because the iPhone does not provide enough power through hdmi, but I also bough a 12v usb charger for my car"

Just wondering what others were using. If you have a Iphone 5 and Navtv let me know what you are using.

i have not been able to get video from my ipod or dumbphone 4s to play on my screen. a/v is ok, but through usb, i havent found a solution yet.

I'm in if you can get another group buy together.
