Navi Chip to DVD? Dealer says yes.

I assume you can't chip the nav box to play DVD's since everyone is paying 400 bucks for the AVelectronics deal but he was pretty insistant that there was a chip available.

Does he just not know what he's talking about?

My guess is he doesn't know what he's talking about. If he does I would maybe want to do both mods. There is a rumor that the G's in Japan play DVD's stock. Does anyone know if this is true. if it is I would bet that ours possibly could too.

i recall there being a rumor floating around last year about said chip, and that it was somewhere around $300. i was also under the impression that it was supposed to void your warranty on the navigation.

It will never happen. Dealers will say things like this to aid in the sale of the car. I know that sounds shotty, but it happens. My dealer even told me I can roll up the windows with my keyfob, and left me a little dissapointed when I heard that it's not possible (for obvious reasons, of course).

Re: Navi Chip to DVD? Dealer says yes.

most of the time the dealers are just stupid too. That dealer probably thought that you actually could do that with the keyfob. One lady I went with to test drive took 20 minutes to figure out how to fold down the rear seats in the coupe, and she said there were brembos on the 5AT I drove.

He wasn't trying to sell me the car. I bought it at a different dealership a week ago. He probably just didn't know.

Probably.. But even if he doesn't know, he shouldn't spit that stuff out unless hes for sure. That could let alot of people down with that false information.

The only thing worse than a car salesman spitting out "facts" about a car, is a Fry's salesman spitting out "facts" about computer equipment.

lol, the only good the fry's employees serve is to direct you to the correct isle for the equipment. And even then, that is a very hard task.
