it's written in a consise format.

i dont know what he'll run into it all depends on the system, which i have never seen, i am just stating that it would probably be smarter from a economical standpoint for the manufacturer to use already proven technologies in some form of another.

it is all a matter of just hot-wiring the screen trial-error style. unless you can find the manufacturers original specs.

i mean for all i know there could be a composite video in jack for futher support, but i've never seen it, so i just don't know exactly.

sorry if my lack of knowledge in a small area of a navigation system is incomplete, but it doesnt mean that i am wrong in saying that it is completely insane to try and do this because of all the work involved, it just seems like somthing that will just keep posing problems and not actually worth the effort you put into it other than saying you did (which is stastisfation enough for many, but come on, do we always need to brag?) I completely understand your stance that what i'm saying is incomplete, but it's also not full of holes either, i wasnt writing a DIY or anything, i was just proposing a plan of action that one might want to take or things one who is trying to do this might want to look into.

mod's don't cclose this thread, it's getting interesting, and it really isnt about flaming, i'm not mad at him, this is an educated discussion.
