tvandnav2go plug and play completed
I just finished the install on the plug and play tvandnav2go mod. It worked awesome. The Install was pretty easy and there was no cutting of any NAV wires. I only had to spice for power/ground.
I did the PAC install at the same time and hooked it up so that the tvandnav2go box automatically shows the DVD output when SAT1 is selected. I also retained the bypass switch on the tvandnav2go box so that I can put the unit into bypass manually if I need to. This way I don’t have flip any switches to get the nav screen to show the DVD, just push the Sat button and the video automatically switches on, yet at the flick of a switch the car goes back to stock operation

The picture quality is great. Well worth it in the end.

Hey that's great! I have my kit sitting here on my table, getting ready to do the same install next week. Can you explain how you wired the switch to use the SAT switch and an external switch to select the video. Or post a wire diagram of just what you did with the switches? I have been contemplating on what I want to do, and decided i'm definitely going with an external switch to allow me to go back to the navi screen.
Thanks and glad to hear you're happy with it...i'm pumped to get mine in!

I posted a pic of the switch I bought, and the complete plan I'm going to do. Try a search for more info. But, i'm going to use a blue LED switch in the ashtray, and plan to put the dvd player in the lower glove box. I'm doing the install in ~6 days, and will be posting some DIY pics so look for them next weekend

Are there any pics of what the tvnav2go package actually contains? The mfg website seemed really poor and was blasting me with music, so I bailed outta there pretty quick. Is it just a video switch box so you can change between nav and an auxilary input (Such as a dvd player)? Is it an IR switch or wired?
...and yeah, i've read a few posts about it before, but none of them were very clear on exactly what functionality it provides and how it does so.

The relay you buy needs to be a "normally closed" relay. Most relays have both "normally closed" and "normally open" terminals, just make sure yours does.
The only problem I ran into was that the PAC unit seemed to get confused and got stuck on SAT1 when I hooked it up to the relay. This was probably due to the inductive load characteristics of the relay. Easily fixed though.....I just put a diode accross the +12v and the PAC trigger wire (side with the line goes to +12) and the problem completely disappeared. You can buy relays with the diodes already in place. If you could get a 12V normally closed relay with a diode already in place the install would be a bit easier.

Anyone else see these fine lines from the modules? I have had a few customers complain that during the day you can see it but at night its not so apparent. I explained that there is nothing I can do since everything was earthed and grounded properly and that its the modules converting/filtering characteristics. Anyone?
By the way, if you guys charge your phone in your car, you will notice that the lines get crazier!

Are you using an inverter with a 120V DVD player or a 12V DVD player?
