I think there is an input somewhere. I think it's in the boot, so I would consider getting portable DVD and putting it in the center armrest in the back. Slide out with it's own screen, and feed OEM TV. You can get power from the rear 12v outlet.
Sounds like a damn good idea to me.... [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I use an input for my video camera. Some people have a reversing camera. As Bushy says, just about anything.

So in theory if i had a S3 with Sat Nav+ that the Unit in the boot has inputs for audio/video on them too?
What connections does it have? rgb? svhs? phono`s?
And how do you select the input from the front?
Cheers for the info [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Riz
connection is RGB
I guess you must have an aux connection, unless when it senses a signal it accepts that
ANyone who has done this?

I dont actually have a TV in my S3 [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
But obviously going to look into this when i get my next one [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] RGB is good indeed [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] could even hook my xbox up to it [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] wow!
I could well run some extended RGB cables all the way from the back to the front under the car mats and into the glove box [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi Chaps
I've just stuck a DVD player in the boot and plugged into the SatNAV Plus box in the boot (or TV module combined). The Input Connectors are as follows:
1* Stereo RCA Pair (Audio Red+Black)
1* RCA Composite Video in (Yellow)
1* SVideo in
You need to use either the Composite Video or SVideo. You can't use these inputs together.
Hope this helps - btw nice forum
Best Regards
