Hey Everyone,

I received the repair manual and I am surprised at how comprehensive it is! I am going to scan it as soon as I can. I'll keep you guys posted.

Also (thanks to the help of Rando), I am going to take out the navigation head unit in the morning/early afternoon and take TONS of pics (mostly because I don't want to take it apart again until I am actually ready to implement my design). I will post a link to them.

At this point (after looking through the schematics), I believe I can accomplish the following:
-Integrating an alternative VGA source (i.e. CarPC) with the OEM navigation screen
-Integrating composite/RCA (NTSC) video input
-Disabling the fact that you can't change your route while the car is moving

I am also hoping that I *may* be able to use the touch interface with a CarPC. I haven't really looked into this aspect of the schematics yet, but I feel that this will be the most complex part of my project. I'll definitely be reaching out for help to you guys for this part (once I scan the schematics)!

-Frank
