using NAV screen as entertainment screen

Does front screen work to watch movies/video with 2012 Tech and premier pkg? When I plug in Android phone into earphone on aux it says no video signal. Does built in DVD changer play movie on the screen?

Yes it plays DVD's but you can only view when parked.

The 2009 Tech package can display analog format audio+video signals fed to it via the small 1/8th inch submini jack. I assume later Tech packages can as well since the hardware hasn't changed. Video can not be sent through the USB port though. I posted the pinout of the jack a long time ago; use the SEARCH command to find posts by me with the words video and cable. I proved this to myself with a Canon digital camera's video out port and with one of those digital-to-analog TV converter boxes.

And video only works when the transmission is in the Park position, same as it does for DVD playback.

The audio is stereo (Left + Right) and video has to be "NTSC" format (same as old analog TV) in the US cars.
