Thanks for clarifying it. As I saw the nav -> tv -> screen, I thought it was the oposite.

And I have a further clarification to my clarification :)

In the MKI system, the TV module was the master over the navigation computer. (The TV module was required, actually.) So, in the MKI, it worked exactly as you described in your note. The one difference is that the MKI nav computer did not have any logic to run the menus on the screen-- the TV module did all of that.

Wow I haven't been here for a few days, lots of great info was posted!
So it looks like Screen + TV module sould work. The thing is my dealer can't find the TV module even with the part #. I think it's because it's a EURO add-on. So I guess he can't order it in the US. eBay seems the way to go for that too.

Thanks Guilden_NL , I'll keep an eye on the Navi screen.
