The audio and video adapters enable connection of audio and video devices, such as a hand-held computer, video camera or a video cassette recorder, to the navigation system. The audio and video input from the playback source is viewed on the navigation system screen and the audio is heard through the speakers. The video image is only available when the vehicle is in P (Park).

Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device while the vehicle is in P (Park). See "Defensive Driving" in the Index of the vehicles owner manual for more information on driver distraction.

Connect the auxiliary device to the audio and video connectors, located in the center console. The system requires standard RCA cables, not included, to connect the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks.
