possible to have command center play video?
 

i was wondering if there is any way that i can get the command center screen to show video. i already have a monitor on the headliner so i was thinking of routing the video wire to the front somehow. is this possible?

AFAIK there is no
 

upgrade mod for that system yet, I really wish.

Hey what part of San Diego you live at,, we should meet so we can share some other idea about our ML. I live in Chula Vista :) ;)

i live in the lemon grove spring valley area. what part of chula do you live? hmm thats a mod that i would love to do. my friend that manages audio excellence in bonita said that its possible but i havnt asked about it. i think it would be dope, so i dont have to buy another monitor for the front.

shoot
 

that's where I bought my monitors, who is your friend there. There's alot of young guys run that shop.:D

I live in Eastlake area. Lemon Grove isn't that far. LMK when you will be there. Friday afternoon afterwork is fine.

wow nice install...so you did it yourself? i know kenny from audio. how did you buy the monitors for? also what size are they? i should consider doing the headrest monitors. you can prob give me some pointers. yeah im also familiar with the eastlake and bonita area. i actually live off of sweetwater road in spring valley which is pretty close. do you have a write up on the monitor install? also friday im not gonna be down in that area, im gonna be busy that night. but yeah thats coo.

ha ha, in fact
 

Kenny is the one who sold me the monitors. Its an Audiovox size 5.6 I pick that model due to ease of instalation, it came with a "Y" harness one input from DVD and two Out put for the monitor. It's not that hard I took my time installing it and I enjoyed it;-)

Sorry, I don't have a write up installation instructions but I can show it to you when you are ready. LMK

email me when you have time.

I was looking in BENZO magazine, and there is a company that specializes in turning your front dispay to a TV/DVD display. I was told that the module and installation would cost around $1000.00. I would've considered going that route because it very clean and stock looking, but theres no dealer around my area that has the knowledge of gutting out the monitors. I would have to travel to Las Vegas or southern Cali to get it done. I'll more info on the company when i can find the clippings.

yeah can you find out and let me and JimB know? thats something that we would like to do, since it does look really stock and clean.

The company people normally go to for nav-to-video mods is Nav-TV, which is located in Brooklyn, NY and has dealers in other areas.

BTW it's about $1000 IIRC for the ML's MCS - they have to physically hardwire the video connection. For MB's other models, which use the COMAND system, it is much easier as COMAND already has built-in support for video (meant for the Euro market, which has an OEM tv-tuner option) so it's just a new module that's required. But the MCS has no built-in support for video, so that's why it's more expensive.
