Yes and Yes (well I didn't actually secure the laptop since I was just seeing if it would work, but I did do the video out to video in on my Pioneer AVIC-N4.

Problem is the vga to NTSC SD video is of too low a quality resolution to really support clear display of the EFI data controls (as presented in the nEditor). Also, there is some lag between what is displayed vs. driver input -- this appears to be a limitation of in RS232 interface.

Heard a wild rumor that EFI might move to a true USB connection rather than RS232, but don't hold me to that.

I think if you add the EFI dash you'll be able to get all this data to display - Phil (turbophil) has this setup.

I think Jim C. may have got it working on his RacePak IQ3 dash (same one I use).

I'm preping my car for Infineon this weekend, but if I get a chance next weekend I'll snap some pics of how it looks when routed thru my Avic-N4 LCD - it ain't pretty.
