ok heres what i want to do..

i want to buy the metra kit and put in a dvd headunit. now i have navigation . will installing this affect the functionality of the nav unit for example will i still be able to hear the directions it gives ?
any input is appreciated

 

if you disconnect the stock audio to use an aftermarket head unit, i think you're not going to be able to use the audio feature of the navigation, unless you somehow can figure out where the audio out from the navigation could plug into your stereo input as an auxilary channel. but then you wont be able to hear the navigation OVER your stereo, you'd have to listen to that OR the stereo...

 

That wasn't very quick -- just kidding.

 

any ohter opinions

 

why do u want another dvd? since you already have nav? to watch movies? they make a kit for your stock nav to play movies.

 

becaus ei like th elook of two sepreate screens

 

well that answered my question!

 

Just use a Y-harness and "splice" the two channels together into one so that it goes into the main channel of the head unit.

 

please elaborate on this

 

Ok. My mistake. I misunderstood you. What you could try if you have an amplifier is what I was trying to say above. I'm confusing both of us. Just click the link. http://members.***.net/headbrainface/wiringstuffs.jpg You won't be able to adjust the navigation volume though that might suck if you have a HUGE amp. LOL

I'm interested in putting two 12" sub in a custom fiberglass enclosure. A lot of you guys are going to say I'm crazy for this one but I want to continue to use the stock radio. The reason is so that I can still use a lot of the features of the stock system without forking out a thousand dollors for a head unit. My question is does the factory radio have RCA connections for a amp?

Those of you who are running amps, how did you connect it?

 

You mean like this, no NAV though.
I guess for the 1st time I'm glad I have no NAV!!!
There are people that have done this w/NAV, search CarDomain.

 

Where/how do I get the kit to play dvd's with my stock navi??????????????? Can you use it while driving? I would love to have it how much?

 

Does the stock radio have RCA connection on it to hook up an amp?
