I want to do the DVD NAV hack but I am not confident in doing it. Did you happen to make a walk trough with pictures? Anyone in the upstate NY area that has done this modification and would be willing to help me do it?

umm did you just read back in the thread or do a search
 
here is the install of MIC for the Nav system:

here is a link to the using a media center on the video input:

here the link to the video while moving hack:
http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0e6f0c/227
(no pics sorry just no time and really not needed if you can have someone read thru and follow directions). You have to feel comfortable to at least pull out the screen from dash.
 
Finally further down is how to get NAV entry while moving:

and yes there is a picture on this one

Ok so all I have to do for the DVD hack is cut the grey wire, extend it further and ground it to one of the screws?

Yes just like I posted. cut about 2 " from the connector. make sure you use something about as thick as the wire they used. and connect to one of the 4 screws used to mount the unit to the dash (as per the posting)
 
this will enable the VIDEO to be viewed on front screen while moving. NOT The Navigation Entry that is a different hack.

Hi Cluelesspa and or anyone who has done the mod they provided.
 
Can you use the voice commands with the MIC to get through the initial warning screen, basically say 'enter' or ok?
 
Thanks!

Last dumb question: Which end am I going to ground? The end that is left from the connector or the end that I assume goes somewhere in the dash?

umm this part:
 
one will be 16 wires (some not connected).. one will be smaller plug. anyway look for the ONLY solid grey wire (should be on the larger plug). Pin 13 of 16, I think... carefully strip back the black tape holding the bundle together and get back about 2 or 3 in from the end connector and CUT the wire completely.
 
  the part going to the connect (plugging into the NAV screen)... splice or connect a 4 inch wire of the same or larger size to the 3 inches left.
 
Note the step above this cut back about 2 or 3 inches
 
 then wrap the splice with electrical tape and retape the bundle. now reinstall the screen (feeding the new 4 in wire around the side of the unit. screw back in and attach the wire to one of the screws so the wire is in contact with the bracket (which is contact with the NAV case) which is Grounded ... there by grounding the grey wire (tricking the unit into thinking the e-brake is applied)...

haven't tried it as my button to activate the voice command is right next to the screen so not a big issue to hit the screen versus the mic button.
 
But I am almost 100% positive there is no "OK" voice command.

Hi cluelesspa,
 
I really need your help! I recently did this mod, in addition to adding an iPod to the Aux In connection via Karen in Az's directions
 
I thought I did everything correctly, but I have the following problems:
 - The CD player no longer works. When I press the cd button, I get the audio info strip (what channel and what volume line at bottom of navigation screen)
 - The audio info strip comes on at startup and stays on with the nag screen until I accept (didn't used to do that). About 30 secs after accepting, the same info strip comes on without me touching anything!
 - The volume of my iPod (actually, iPhone, turned all the way up) is very low coming out of the speakers. Normally, I listen to the radio and cd at speaker volume 8-10. The volume I need to have it at for playing the iPod is around 24-27. When I pause the music I can hear noise coming out of the speaker, which someone told me might be because the Amp is all the way up.
 
Any thoughts about what wires I might have messed up (because clearly I did) in the install to cause this? Since I do hear the iPod, I am thinking it was part of the grounding I did and not the wires for the audio. I can play video from the iPhome (while moving) fine as well.
 
Should the volume have to be turned up so high for the iPod? Someone suggested getting the product N-64 at to help that.
 
FYI, I have a 06 Tribeca, 5 seater.
 
I really appreciate any and all help you can provide!

hit the AUDIO button your dash (the one on the dash) twice. you probably have the audio toggled to the rear entertainment system. its trying to show whats on your DVD player, which is probably turned off. hence the VIDEO hack you did.
