Does anyone know of how to add video/audio input to a 07 nav with navigation and rear dvd/tv. i have only found one kick and its $600 thought that was kinda high. any help would be great.

 

Have you looked into Lockpick ? Not cheap but not $600 either.

FORD 360 LOCKPICK

Thanks matt, yes i have seen them, and have emailed them, but they say it only works with the sync system, not sure why the list the years they do. But they said it would not work with my system

 

Hmmm the page I linked to is specific to the non-hard drive systems and Sync didn't come on these models until 09. If you download the instruction manual the radio is the Pioneer unit which is what is in the 07-08 Expys and Navigators.

Maybe contact then again using the specific model number listed on their website. Not sure what Sync would have to do with it anyway as its only for Bluetooth and USB functionality.

Yes i already sent them another email with the link you sent me to find out why it wont work, if it does that would be great, do you know of a good bluetooth setup for that unit as well, i am looking for one that would control my android phone, call, etc.

 

??? I haven't really looked into adding Bluetooth because mine already had the Ford Mobile Ease unit when i got it. It's integrated into the factory radio / NAV unit, it connects to my phone automatically and mutes the radio to take a call and plays it through the speakers. The only thing I don't like is the separate control module.

Do you know if that can be added to my nav?

 

Should be able to.

TascaParts.com

You need the two items at the bottom of page ( unit and jumper harness )

Not the cheapest thing .....


Here is a pic of it installed in my Expy ( under the HVAC controls - between lighter and audio jack)

Matt, just found out that the Lockpick unit that you sent me the link to, was burning peoples radio's up, and i guess that is why they discounted making them. Any other ideas?

 

I hadn't heard that about the LockPick but I wonder how much of that is careless installation.

As for another way.......I have no idea short of an aftermarket NAV units. Sorry.



Matt

 

"Careless installation"?

I don't think it was so much that. Insanely difficult DIY project prone to expensive failures? More like it.

Lockpick had a way into the '07 radios... it worked for me for a few minutes... but it was a project well beyond what their matierials described.
