Does anyone know if it is possible to watch a video source while listening to another source? Here is my specific scenario. I like to listen to my sirius radio which is connected to AV-1. The thing that sucks about this is that the screen is just black (no video). Is it possible to still listen to my sirius on AV-1 and view a video input from, say, my video ipod?? Or is it possible to at least view a background image??
The only thing you can display is the nav map or hit the hide button and display the background image. Only one audio/video source can be used at a time.
just like he said, you cant do it.
if you get the pioneer sirius module you can.....not expensive either.
just connect it to your avic and youll have a user interface that you can control throught touch screen.
then youll be able to do what you want.

Thank you both for the reply posts. I tried touching the hide button on the AV1 screen, however, nothing happens. It is still just a black screen when I press hide. Is there a menu setting that I need to change? I have all three background screens set within the Navigation Menu.
I didn't notice you said it was hooked up via the AV inputs. I just assumed it was the pioneer XM tuner hooked though the IPBUS connection. I don't know if the hide interface option works for the AV inputs as well.
it doesnt...it only hides the "AV1" words that are top of the screen.
You can do it if you use a non ibus Sirius unit . If you have a regular Sirius unit like a Sportster , replay , or what ever , use the pin jack to RCA audio cable ( red / white ) and plug into the D3 input source 1 or 2 , and use the camera the video . That is what I did in mine . I also have a video selector switcher so I can can the video source on the fly . I pull a 30 foot car hauler and use the switcher to change cameras . I have one as my normal back up camera , I have a camera on the back of the trailer , one facing the fifth wheel , it makes hooking the trailer a snap , and the forth moulded into the pass side mirror to check for blind spots .
