Jim Fouch Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm pretty new to the D3 and was wondering what the video out actually sent out. I'm assuming that if you're playing a DVD that that would be sent to the output. But, what about the normal screens? Do they also get sent to the output? Does the AV-1 & AV-2 get passed through? I don't have mine installed yet, it's only on the work bench and I've had only a few minutes to play w/ it. It would be really nice for creating demo video's if it did send all screen contents to the video out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Only the DVD signal gets passed through. Only the N and Z series will send other sources and nav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jethro's d3 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I realize this is an ancient thread, but I have a flip down screen in the back for the kiddies on long trips. I was thinking of getting an ipod or doing some type of hard drive mod/install. But from this thread I am wondering if either of these video sources would output to the back flip down screen and not just on the head unit. If it just works on avic d3 screen and not the flip down this doesn't work for me. Am I missing something here? It seems that in an alternate install in a prior vehicle where I happened to have an extra DVD player, I used it to play DVDs so I could just leave the nav disc in the D3. This way I could watch the DVD on the flip down and the D3 screen. Does anyone know if the Ipod plays video on flip downs in the back as well as the D3 screen? I don't have an Ipod so I need your experience/expertise on this. Tell me your thoughts. Also, of course I would like to be able to control the Ipod from the D3.

ct_mike Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The D3 will output the Ipod video to the rear screen. This works with my 5.5 generation ipod video (the 80gb model), the newer Ipod models will require some research on your part. ct_mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jethro's d3 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks, that's nice to know. I'm thinking it's about time I got an Ipod, especially since they went DRM free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
