Thumbs up Desire movies in your ride, but little upgrade for Radio?

I just installed the best idea yet. i too have a 95 m3, and was wanting to put in some type of dvd setup(player and screen)...and Purchased the Magellan 1700 GPS unit. sure it has a sweet gps with AAA waypoints/interesting spots.. but it also has a secondary input with a little help from a 1/8 inch audio/ and/ video input. now the sound will be the tricky part, the cd changer in my car dont work. so i found the wire that is the input on the back of the factory radio/or/amp, spliced in, and now I hit the cd changer button to get the external dvd player sound in...the composite(rca) goes to the Magellan GPS.
make sense....?
.any better ideas please p[ost,
>
>BONUS INPUT> is also has an sdhc card slot/ Memory card "mini". mostly found in cellphones, it goes in the top, all the video can now be uploaded and put into Magellan 1700, Awesome!

.....I did not want to cut up the guts and screw with the nice cool ac by the way. Double Din is Sweet, but too much crap geting it in the spot to be.

I currently own the Zen Vision: M, and I love it. The primary selling factor that got me to buy it, though, was the codec support. It plays all my avi videos, no conversion required, which is incredibly awesome. I've gotten quite used to the interface and features, so when i end up replacing it, I'd very much like to stay with Creative.

I may need to replace my Zen Vision M soon, so I've been doing some reviews. The new Zen seems to have nothing but good reviews, but i can't help but notice nobody seems to really mention whether or not it actually has the same codec support as the Vision M. Does it or not?

Can I just drag/drop an AVI file to the player and have it play? Or does it need to be converted to wmv first?
If it has the same codec support i'm definately getting one. if not, well, i'm not so sure, and i'm not sure i'll even want to buy any media player if i can't get one that will match the Vision M's codec support...

EDIT: I also rly like the feature of being able to connect my Zen Vision M to my tv. Does the new Zen have this feature? If so, can i use the same AV cable i already have?
