Ok roger that. When I posted my question this morning about how to wire up the push2tv I was figuring someone on this thread would know the answer since people have posted here that they’ve used it. In case I can’t get that question answered I did order the two items you linked on amazon as a known go-to that works. Still hoping someone here who has success with the push2tv might pipe in. Thanks again for all your tireless assistance. If you ever need help with limb reattachment....
How about astigmatism fix for a damn sneaky cataract in my left eye?
PM the guy in the link I gave you. He might be able to help.

Elmer, I was one of the original NavTool followers, who like you went through the growing pains this company had. Now after two years of trouble free operation of this very handy device I want to thank you for all of your installation tips. I could not have done it without your help. Thanks, Norm

anybody have an audio lag from the video being displayed through iphone mirroring? I'm connected to the Navtool unit via an apple lightning to HDMI adapter, then HDMI cable to the Navtool unit. The audio is connected to the phone via bluetooth.
Does anybody know if there's an aux input behind the headunit that i can connect direct audio to instead of streaming the audio through bluetooth? Anybody else experience a slight audio lag? What did you do to fix it? Thank you.
Edit: i think i just found a fix. Since the navtool has an RCA left and right output, i wonder if i buy the RCA to 3.5mm audio cable and plug that cable directly into the audio input in the arm rest that's right next to the SD slot (my car is a 2014); if that will fix the audio lag that is happening through bluetooth audio.
Does anybody know if there's an aux input behind the headunit that i can connect direct audio to instead of streaming the audio through bluetooth? Anybody else experience a slight audio lag? What did you do to fix it? Thank you.

The wife would like a front camera on her '15 C7. Don't really need the phone mirroring stuff. I was just on the NAVtool website and I assume the product I want is the : CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2014-2017 VIDEO INTERFACE with BUILT-IN HD SMARTPHONE MIRRORING via HDMI (even though I don't need all the features)?
I just scanned through this thread and you guys have done an awesome job debugging/testing this thing. The installation tips and tricks are great too!

So I installed the Navtool today in my 2015 3LT Convertible.
Ordered front camera and HDMI mirroring.
So I get a unit with a wiring harness with L/R audio, left, right, and rear 1 and rear 2......no front camera lead.
Manual says video 2 is front camera and video 1 is rear.
So I try it with video 2 as front camera as I have an OEM rear and in reverse I get black screen and in drive I get my rear camera.
So I try it with front camera in video 1 and I get front camera in reverse and OEM rear camera in drive.
So they didn’t program it correctly!
I have to purchase a mini USB 6 ft cable to reprogram the module.
So I get on their chat line and they say they don’t make mistakes and the order was correct....bullshit.
I hate arrogant techs and this guy was a total A-Hole.....
I don’t know how these people stay in business!
I’ll reprogram it and hope it works correctly.....
Will update after I get the new cable....
Anyone else with similar experience with these jackasses?

The Group of three is labeled thus:
Video input 1 = Front Camera
Video input 2 = Left Side Camera
Video output = Right Side Camera
The Group of two is labeled thus:
Video Input 1 = Audio red
Video Input 2 = Audio black
Also, there is a post or two with a very strong suggestion in this thread that the first thing you do is the update of the software.
Set the software to use the OEM rear camera. Set it for HDMI too.
If you have more issues, let me know.

There are 5 RCA plugs They are grouped 3 into a black connector and 2 into a black connector. That's how mine came.

I’ll take some photos and post them when I get a chance. I have two labeled rear and none labeled front, although my order included a front camera with my order.

So I ordered the Mirascreen 1080P HDMI Bluetooth adaptor from Amazon and will hook it up to the unit this weekend to see if I can get my iPhone to mirror to the screen via Bluetooth
