    you can "hack" the nav screen to be able to show video. The piece to do it starts at about $399 and go up for a real non egay madule. Then you will need to have a dvd player or video ipod, and possibly have it installed if you don't feel confident with wiring yourself. As for changing the radio all together, get ready to pull out a couple stacks if you want anything looking even moderately worthwhile. . . .

    +1 thanks man. I have found a few of these systems. Do you know how the picture quality is. Thats the only thing that I am not too sure of now. If i do it I want to have at least a good picture. Let me know if you have seen one of these in person and how it looked.

    I'm an Installer by trade, and I've put in a good number of these. The PAC made piece is what I usually put in because quite honestly it has the best quality picture. I think I have a few pictures of an 07 TL that I did on the computer at the shop. I'll post some pictures when I get to work today.

    Hey thanks. +1 It looks great I was even looking into getting that one from nav2go. How hard was it for you to put it in? Or did you have someone do it for you.

    i do mobile and home electronics so it was really easy for me. The average person can have it done( aux isimple behind the radio, nav2go at nav unit, and wires run) in 2hr, 3 hrs top if you have the correct tools and know how to remove the dash and nav unit.
