SYNC4's 12" screen display is beautiful when used for full-screen external video input (NAViKS HDMI Video Interface)

[SilverbackHobbit]

Are there any other options for streaming A/V from a phone to the display that anyone has tested? Or is this the only one right now? Does it allow playback while the vehicle is in motion? I know it isn't safe to watch TV while driving, but would be neat to be able to play a movie the whole family could watch on road trips and I could at least hear it and participate. Right now everyone has headphones on and I'm driving and singing along with the radio all by myself...

Exactly like that haha!

How are you routing the HDMI audio input stream to the speakers? I assume any of the 360 cameras doesn't give an audio stream because we still listen to the radio or BT or whatever while in any camera view.

If the apple TV has an option for sending BT audio and you can pair it to the Sync as a "phone", do you have issues with slight delay and video/audio sync? If not then I think you got REALLY lucky that both the wifi camera stream and BT audio stream have matched buffered deleys!

Very cool

It makes its own aux connection. Its crazy and weired but works. You put one song on a usb and once you select usb as audio source and switch to naviks unit the audio works flawlessly no lag like Bluetooth.

Get what you pay for and to me worth it.

Doesn't really seem expensive for what it does, honestly.

That seems insane! So it starts playing your USB music, then when you enable camera overridden via the navik, it overrides the USB audio as well?? I cannot fathom how they merged those streams unless they have intimate knowledge of the chipset inside these head units. Crazy.

Can you override any fullscreen camera in motion? If you use rear does it override the big black box "warning" in the center of the screen? If not I'd want to override the hi-mounted bed cam

Have not really messed with anything beside HDMI input and audio. But it has all kinds of settings u can change.

Just a note that from my understanding this does NOT use your factory cameras. The camera options are good if you don't have the factory ones and want to add them. I suppose you could add another set for this though and have both.

The unit is expensive. I would like an option of a simpler version without the camera inputs and control. Just HDMI would be nice.

you are correct camera functions only work if you do not have factory 360 ...I would have liked just the HDMI input also but this is the only unit of its kind that i know of.
