Thanks,
The nav monitor is just a dumb screen, much like a computer monitor and keyboard. It can not do anything just by itself. To enable the monitor, you would need either the nav computer or a TV module.

The bare minimum to perform this project would be the navigation/TV wiring harness, the trunk mounted radio module, and a TV module (and a few minor screws and brackets). You would have to run the harness and then splice it into your existing wiring. After that, plug in the new parts and presto, you have video.
