| External Sources input to Screen (links to Group Buys post) |
|
Just noted the following post http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic46360.html in For Sale & Wanted which seems to indicate that on the D3 it was possible to connect external sources to the front screen eg cameras, DVD etc.
Anyone know if this also works with the D4? and if so is it the same cables?, and how many spare inputs are there? If a DVD can input to the screen, would this be the means of playing back iPod videos on the screen

I haven't seen the D4 screen, but I believe the D4 screen to be broadly similar to the Fl2 screen, which also has the same connectors.
Perhaps one to ask our new sponsors Chorley Car Audio? 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

I'd love to get a video input for iPod/iPhone/DVD but that does sound daunting for someone cack-handed like me. Will watch this thread with interest to see if someone manages to get it running (and if it works in motion!)
