I have searched and found nothing ... My idea was to connect a GPS to the IPOD connection so the screen could pop up in the dash and even maybe have the guidance sound in the car speakers ...

Maybe it's a dumb question but I dont know ...


Thanks for the help !

 

never tried it, but theoretically it should work as long as the gps unit can output video & sound. this would only be useful if you could find a way to have the video work while moving..

 

If you are referring to the AUX jacks (Red White & Yellow) then yes. Garmin GVN52 or GVN53 is about the best only good option.

Forum rules (#23) dictate we cannot discuss bypassing the screen motion lock-out. I will simply tell you there is a way. Search Google but not this forum.

 

Thanks for the input !

 

let us know how it goes if u do decide to go forward with it!

 

it should work as long as the gps has those red white and yellow cables

 

if you have the AUX cables, red, white, yellow, get the iPhone one that connects to that...
I have it on mine whatever i see on my iPhone i see while driving... I have the App "Navigon" and its awesome, love seeing it in the bigger screen (you have to bypass it but google that cant talk)

 

I have blackberry because of Business ... And I know S%?t about I phones ... Can someone tell me if the I touch would have GPS in it ?

Thanks !

 

you have to download the gps app but you would need wifi to use the gps app

 

The iPod Touch has no GPS receiver. Your approximate location is determined using available information from local Wi-Fi networks. For this purpose, it's useless in a car.

 

I've thought about picking up an iPhone 3GS just for the nav function. Not getting a plan for the phone, just using it as an iPod Touch with nav capabilities. Craigslist usually has a few people are trying to get rid of.

That, or I've also tried to find a good way to rest my iPad on the center console. As long as I'm going straight, I'm good, but throw in a turn of any sharpness, and it falls. Don't like windshield mounts. Oh well.

 

I think you're still going to required a phone/data plan in order to download mapping while the GPS app is running.
A Garmin would be better (for routing/POI's), cheaper and many of them play mp3's. You don't need to mount it in the windshield for it to pick up sats well. I used to keep mine down by the ashtray and sometimes in the cup holder and it worked perfectly.

 

iphone / itouch / ipad wont work without some sort of connection. (wifi)
and even then they arent as accurate as the actual 3G service.

 

Anyone know if this can work with Andriod (sprint EVO) if you can do this or even buy a app that can do this???

 

I've never worked an android, but i did a bit of search and found this

now with that im sure you could try to find a way to make a Navigation app display out thru that cable ... ?

hope that helps
