  8. Connect and install the USB and HDMI cable connections in a location the customer can access them to use these features. The USB connection is used for navigation mapping and system updates so the customer does not need to access the Navigation Interface Module once installed.

Contact the phone carrier or the provider for an approved adapter.

HDMI/AUX INPUT

ADVENT FDS3NAV2 Ford Vehicles Equipped - HDMI

The HDMI input will allow you to view your COMPATIBLE smart phone’s screen or any other device with a HDMI output on your Entertainment System’s screen while the vehicle is NOT moving. This input does not offer control of the connected device; only the image and audio are accessible. FMVSS and local laws do not allow the viewing of video by a driver or in a position the driver can video while the vehicle is moving. The system will automatically black out the screen once the vehicle starts moving, but audio will still be heard.
NOTE: Your phone or other device may require a special adapter to view HDMI. Contact your phone dealer for information regarding these parts. If your device can be viewed on a TV with HDMI input then it will be viewable on your media system. 1080P, 720P, and 480P are supported.

The Navigation Path screen will allow you to select the correct “NaviOne.exe” file to run the navigation application.
