Premium Navigation - A/V Screen Video

[agent_dess]

Hey Folks,

Ive been curious about the A/V Screen that can be found when cycling through the media button on the Premium Navigation.

There isn't much mentioned in the manual but im sure ive read somewhere that it can playback video via usb.

The person that tried it said mp4 format worked, i tried a sample video file and couldn't get it to work even put parking brake on.

Anyone know more about this and how do you get it to function?

Hi @agent_dess

As far as I understand it, the 3.5mm audio input is also a video input.

There’s a thread on it over here:

Thanks Matt... that looks like a whole lot of effort for virtually no gain!
Why is this even included as its not practical.

Having the ability to play back MP4/AVI from usb would make more sense.

There’s a cable that doesn’t have the three leads on the end, and is a 4-pole to 4-pole AV cable.

These can be used by some models of raspberry Pis, old iPods could output video over one of these cables too, etc.

So maybe more practical than a big DVD player those cables were once associated with, but still not very practical at all.

Maybe there’s a converter that can convert digital USB C video to analogue video and pipe that in. I thought that might be a nice way to mirror my phone screen to the car, but this A/V source won’t show if car is moving. 
 

I am sure I saw an override to keeping that A/V source on but I have not dug any further.

A far better and modern option is to upgrade the unit to an Android system.
