Quick question - Pre-purchase

I am strongly considering the D3 for my car. Quick question regarding the aux A/V input.

 

Is it possible to view the video from the auxiliary A/V input while listening to a separate audio source?

 

I want to pair this with an HKS CAMP2 system (http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3474) on my supercharged Miata and I'd like the ability to view the video coming from the CAMP2 unit while listening to the radio or iPod audio.

 

Thanks.

Nope. It's not dual zone capable. What you're watching is what you're listening to.

Darn. That's what I was afraid of.

 

I'll have to figure out a way to rig the iPod into the Audio in for aux A/V - while the CAMP2 uses the Video in.

 

Thanks.

Simple- Buy an iPod composite a/v cable (about $50) and use the audio only. The use the video for what you want. You would need to control the iPod directly (not from the D3) and it would not get a charge, but it would do what you want.
