Got any pictures of the set-up, along with pix of the screen with a movie playing?

i didn't install the i-drive controller, I had EuroRev do it for me.. all i have to do is push the idrive knob 6 o'clock then 3 o'clock and it goes to the A/V channel and i use the dvd remote. Its pretty easy

Can you explain more in depth how you control the NAV2TV unit with the I-Drive knob? I definitely need to see this in person at the Central Cali Meet.
