I have not found any info about that. It should be possible and I too am interested in playing standard DVDs.

I don't know if it is possible

Even if it can, the resolution and number of colors of the existing system will give you a very terrible movie playback.

The DVD based trunked system will not play normal DVD's. In fact if you modify the unit to do so you will end up burning out the screen. Dont believe me, try it out sometime. Before you do you may want to inquire on the cost of a new screen. Just my 2c.

It will not burn out your screen....I have seen... However the dvd player that comes installed will not play standard DVDS... A mod can be made to input video from whatever source you like.....Hard to find piece Pioneer AVC-RGB1; pretty easy to do...

THe Answer is YES there is a way to play a DVD in your maping system. A modification chip is needed. I do not know where to purchase this chip to make it posible but I was told DIRECTLY from the Sales Girl that I Lease my car from that a customer had modified his with a chip to play them. So look for the Chip and let us know where to get it.

I'm also looking for a Pioneer AVC-RGB1, or a inexpensive nav-video conversion unit (instead of the $500+ SAM unit). If anyone have one or know where I can find it, or even a better solution for nav-video project, please let me know via email.

Does anyone know if you can modify the Alpine software to run the Trip Computer from the 2003 Honda Accord Nav system? It's much better than the lame Message Center trip computer in the TL?
