need some help with nav

this is whats wrong, i did the 16:9 retrofit from the 4:3 and the pic on the screen just looks streched and isnt that clear like my buddys 16:9, do i need to update the computer so that it knows that there is a 16:9 screen now? and i also cant split the screen..
any help would be good.. thanks

what nav os version are you running? Review this article if you aren't sure how to determine this - http://www.xoutpost.com/articles.php?...ticle&artid=59

The 16:9 screen is a different type then the 4:3 screen and in my opinion is not quite as crisp and clear of a display as the 4:3 screen. That said, I would never go back to the 4:3 screen, as the 16:9 screen looks so much better and the larger viewing area makes using the nav and split screen functions a lot better.

Oh, that explains a lot. That's a MkII and it doesn't support split screen. Not to mention that it is very slow. If I were you I would pick up a MkIV drive to replace that and then sell your MkII on eBay.

Sean has a group buy going on for MkIV drives. See http://www.xoutpost.com/showthread.php?t=2067. For about $700 you can get a brand new drive. I may be able to help you out with the DVD And you'll likely be able to get around $200 for your MkII.

Also note that if you are considering getting the TV system, I believe you are going to need to have either the MkIII or MkIV for it to work properly. PM me and I can give you a discount promo code on the complete TVonNav system that's good until the end of June.

Jeff
