Unplayable format?

hyunsoo1803 · 03-02-2010, 03:16 AM

I use USB to listen to music, and I recently found out that my 370z can also play videos. The owner's manual doesn't say how to put in videos in USB. Any idea? Any specific format? I tried .avi files, but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance ! =] ㅎㅎ

I thought the format wma, mp3 are for music? Is there any way to put a video in a USB and play it in AUX ?

can you confirm that the car has to be in park or parking brake engaged?

also, does it play the videos directly through the USB charge/data connection or do you need to get that mini to RCA adapter?

Yes my hand brake must be on for the video to play..
I am just using the apple USB/Red/White/Yellow cable I bought at Apple Store

i was eyeing this cable because i have an ipod video as well as 2 iphones but i also want to be able to charge it at the same time which would require the USB connection...i have a feeling it will still work though

Yes you can put videos on a USB drive and play them through the Navi using the divx format. I convert my videos to divx format using this free tool (Free DivX Converter).
