2003 4Runner Navigation - Can it be interfaced? Who makes it? Anyone know details?

[Mr Castulucci]

Hey there,

I'm new to the forum, and I figued that maybe someone in here might know the answer to my question!

I have a 2003 Toyota 4Runner LTD w/ Navigation. My question is, is there anyway to interface with the navigation screen? I am looking at putting a CarPC into my truck, and the most obvious screen to use is the one already in the dash!

So, I am in need of hardcore details! Has anyone interfaced VGA into the screen? What about an RCA/video-in jack? Does anyone know who the manufacturer of the screen is? Does anyone know the part number?

Keep in mind that I have the OEM navigation, not an aftermarket one.

I am totally lost, and I am attempting to get answers before I go ripping my interior apart! Any help at all would be much appreciated.

-Frank

Don't know if this would work on Toyotas. Can't read Japanese. If you do find out it works, let us know. Tom's Racing has this:
