Hi,I just got my 07 DC,LTD with navigation.
Why can't I play DVD movies at all?
I live in Cambridge,ON.

you can't unless you have the rear seat entertainment system, and then you need to figure out how to bypass the motion sensing. NObody has figured that out yet.

I have NAV and rear ent sys. I assume you are asking about playing a DVD on the NAV screen? Will not work. I imagine because it is against the law to watch "TV" while driving. Don't know why watching a navigation program is any different. Would be nice for the wife to be able to watch a movie up front while the kids watch one with the headphones in the back. Maybe noone would be telling me how to drive then.

I have figured out how to. You do need to have the rear seat dvd player, but even if you don't, you can watch shows off a video ipod with a special adapter.

so you are saying you can plug your video ipod in the aux port and watch videos on the nav screen??? that would be awesome if that is the case. can you provide more info on this?

no. although you might be able to rig it to do it. I don't know anything about the video ipod so I can't really help you there. I have an iphone, but from I can tell, it doesn't support the video out function that the video ipods do. But it certainly isn't cheap. Take a look here at Toyota/Lexus Audio,Video and Information Solutions (Lexus Auxiliary input,Lexus iPod integration,Lexus XM integration) they are the only company, as far as I can tell, that have a device that supports video out. It hooks directly to the ipod video. I don't have too many videos on my iphone anyways, though it'd be just a cool item to have if it did support iphone video. The price is what keeps me from even having it to try out. 300 bucks, plus if I had to buy a video ipod... just ends up not being worth it. another route is it looks like they make something for you to attach any RCA cable, in which case you can install a dvd player and that would work too. I don't know if you'd be able to control the dvd player through the screen though somehow I doubt that would be possible. If any of you guys go with that device, let me know how it goes.
