jchapy Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Our dealer said that you can watch a DVD on the MyTouch screen (while it is in Park) for the 2011 Explorer. Does anyone know if that is true? Edited February 12, 2011 by jchapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt1411 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Our dealer said that you can watch a DVD on the MyTouch screen (while it is in Park) for the 2011 Explorer. Does anyone know if that is true? There is no DVD player in the front navigation screen, just a CD player. To watch a movie it must be sent through a cable to the RCA connectors, or loaded on a SD card, or USB drive then you can see it on the front SYNC 8 inch screen. So you could take an iPhone or iTouch and run off the device to the RCA (Red/White Audio and Yellow Video) connectors if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware you could watch movie directly from the an USB or SD card. This would require MyFord Touch to have codecs to play them (and it may just have some). I looked this up in the MyFord Touch manual and it says voice commands using video are only available to the USB and not the SD card. It still doesn't say which types of movies it plays (AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, etc) if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
