Reverse camera and in car DVD option
So after some research to add reverse camera and in car DVD solution this is what I keep on finding.
http://www.tvandnav2go.com/
The unit that will enable that function will cost $400, still need to add the camera or a DVD source.
Comments?

This is cost effective, but it is really bypassing the video input on the back of the PCM, and feeding it inside of the PCM. It seems like the Nav-TV solution is cleaner without the need to open up your PCM for the internal board and then use that "funky" remote control.
Toby, can you post some pics of yours? Did you use all factory items?

Fortunately, my reversing camera IS the factory setup and WAS done during manufacture of the car. It works great for hooking up my trailer and insuring I don't run over our dog as I back out of the garage.
With that said, I should acknowledge that my earlier post was (as some would say) tongue in cheek. If you look back over my legacy of posts here in the Cayenne forum, I actually TRIED to update my first 04 Beta model from halogen headlights to Bi-Xenon. I also was the FIRST Cayenne owner to get a factory CD Changer installed AT THE DEALER after purchase. Oh, and I am one of the very few, if not the only Beta owner to get the factory phone prep kit installed and had REAL Bluetooth support using the THB Bury system before someone sued the daylights out of a certain automobile manfacturer for what I can only assume were royalty issues (I have NO KNOWLEDGE - pure supposition on my part).
With all that said, I have learned more about Cayenne electronics that I ever care to admit. And trust me when I say this, you DO NOT WANT TO ATTEMPT RETROFITS with this vehicle. You will spend ungodly amounts of money and be underwhelmed with the results (although I *DID* like being the only user running FACTORY BLUETOOTH in an 04 Cayenne S).
It's probably possible to get the aftermarket NAV-TV unit working - but I've dealt with those guys too, and they scare the daylights out of me at times. FWIW, just turn your head around and back up the old fashioned way. OR, buy your next Cayenne with a reversing camera.
Sorry to be a downer here.

Except for the fact that a reversing camera/PCM has little to nothing to do with MOST and/or CAN.
It's times like this where it would probably be helpful if I did own a pig.

Toby, thanks for the honest comment. My wife was still bugging me about the reverse camera today. So I think I am going to go with the tvandnav2go option. Have anyone here dealt with them or used their products before?
