Do you guys know about NAV-TVs latest release?

New iPod Vehicle Dock Interface

 

found this website while doing research on the rer radio. As I understand, if your dealership has this StarScan module, which im sure they do, they should be able to change your radio so you can watch video while in motion...thereby not needing a lock pick, etc. Maybe someone can let us know???

Front seat video enable/disable Due to certain state regulations, a function for disabling the front seat video option has been incorporated into the vehicle as a running change. This function will enable or disable the radios ability to play video in the front seat. If enabled, the radio will only play video when the vehicle is in Park (Automatic Transmission) or when the parking brake is set and vehicle speed is zero (Manual Transmission). If disabled, the radio will NOT play video in the front seat in any operating mode.
Certain state laws mandate that the Front Seat Video feature, on vehicles so equipped, be disengaged prior to vehicle delivery.
Vehicles equipped with the Front Seat Video ‘My GIG’ feature (sales codes RER, REN, REU), and delivered to the following states, must have the Front Seat Video feature disengaged during the New Vehicle Prep process, using the StarSCAN tool:
Connecticut
Florida
Illinois
Kansas
Michigan
New Mexico
Nevada
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Maryland
Utah
Wyoming
For vehicles affected, the vehicle Navigation User Manual will contain a special insert providing the customer with specific details regarding this action.
NOTE: Some early release vehicles may be delivered without the special Navigation User Manual insert. For these vehicles it will be necessary to make a copy of the attached form 81-170-07055A and include it with the existing vehicle’s Navigation User Manual to ensure that the customer is aware of any legal requirements that may apply.
Dealer instructions for front seat video enable/disable:
1. Connect the StarSCAN®.
2. From the Home Screen, enter “ECU View”.
3. Select “Radio”.
4. Select “Misc. Functions”.
5. Select “Enable/Disable Front Seat Video”.
6. Select “Enable” or “Disable” as desired.

If the pikener(sp) module behind the lower glove box has this part number: 5064762AC it doesn't support ipod, you have to change it to 5064449AF

he has obviously done quite a bit of leg work trying to integrate his ipod to his REN (w/sat, no nav) head unit. he also used the cord part # 82211263AC.

 

I cannot believe how much of a money pit these ipods have become. Just a nice mp3 player even one on your phone, my Sony head in my old 72 will stream the mp3's via Bluetooth, it also has the hd module and sat. That old truck is ahead of its time. No ipod connection, its there but not available for use.

 

the cord listed above is $30-40 which i don't mind spending to integrate my ipod. however, i'm w/ you if i have the wrong module. that replacement module is about $300

 

1. This has been discussed here in separate threads. I was told, in one of those threads, that this was the ability to watch video in the front seat while parked. I was told this will not change playback while operating the vehicle.

2. Since I wasn't sure if #1 (above) was correct, I called every dealership in Austin and asked them if they could try this. Each one refused. Anyone know of a dealership in Texas that will do this?

Thanks.
