Playing DVD on fron Nav Screen - 12/22/2007 11:56:23 PM    jflamio   Posts: 1 Joined: 12/22/2007 Status: offline I have a 2005 Escalade.  Is there a way I can view a movie that is playing on my overhead DVD system on my in-dash Nav System screen?  I know the video gets to the dash unit because when I turn on the radio/Nav, it shows what is playing on the DVD for a split second and goes to Nav screen. _____________________________ Jim F Post #: 1

However it will only display it on radio with shifter in park. Check owners manual nav system book. (in reply to jflamio) Post #: 2

I haven''t picked up ny truck yet, but I believe it''s the latest version of the factory nav. They are detailing the car tomorrow, so I won''t get it until tomorrow night. I''m curious if any of you guys know if this is the model that allows DVD playback. (in reply to EscaladePatrick) Post #: 4

I watched a DVD the other night in my car from the navagation screen, parked of course. I have the 6 CD/DVD changer option and the DVD navagaion system in my 07 STS. Just so you know, the changer is a seperate unit from the navagation DVD player. If you don''t have sepeate DVD player and just have the Navagation DVD player, then no you cannot watch a DVD.

Mine is a Delphi unit, and it will not play DVD''s in park, with the E brake on, or any way. (in reply to thewood) Post #: 6
