Product Overview:
NavTool is not a navigation system nor does it replace your navigation system or navigation screen. NavTool adds video capabilities to your factory navigation screen
UNIVERSAL NAVTOOL wire cutting required. The NavTool converter comes with a universal wire harness that requires 3 wires to be cut behind navigation computer in the trunk of the car.
All our video interfaces come with 2 video input, video 1 is dedicated for any video source, video 2 is dedicated for back up camera. When you put your car in reverse screen you will automatically see reverse camera on your navigation screen (back-up camera over rides either DVD or navigation)
NavTool is an externally wired plug and play video interface that is installed inline of the navigation computer navigation screen. It works simply by interrupting the video signal from your navigation computer when you activate the interface or activate 12V on the reverse camera line. When this occurs the navigation system video image will be replaced by the video input that is connected to the NavTool module.
NavTool is a video only input interface module, which means an FM modulator, FM transmitter or an auxiliary audio input interface adapter needs to be used to connect the audio signal from your external AV source to your audio system, if your vehicle does not have an auxiliary input already available. NavTool is video-in-motion enabled, so the video image will stay on the screen even with the car in motion, however we do not recommend doing this.
You factory navigation player cannot play DVD movies, you will need to install external video source such as DVD player, game console, or iPod video.
Vehicle Specific Installation Information:
THIS INTERFACE SHOULD BE CONNECTED AT THE NAVIGATION COMPUTER AND NOT BEHIND SCREEN.
This kit includes the NavTool module and a universal wiring harness that plugs into the navigation computer in the trunk of a car. You can view a photo of the wiring harness on top of this page.
Simply cut 3 wires and connect universal wiring harness provided with the NavTool module. Then connect 12V power, ground, and backup camera wire if installing back-up camera. The installation is really that simple. Since the unit is plug and play and only requires extra wiring for 12V and ground, it will not void your vehicles factory warranty in most cases.
