Sorry! I thought you were talking about the iPod control. Haha! I don't think you can watch videos off of the SD card. As for the jump drive, I know you can't. You either have to use the iPod control, or you can burn the movie files to a DVD as a Divx/Data disc and play them that way.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I have the same unit. Only way to watch movies are off a DVD or through the iPod/iPhone. For that you also need the optional cables. Not one that is the iPod cable to USB.

You can't watch videos off of the SD card or USB. It only plays music. TRUST ME! Infact, one of the video you probably watched was mine. Videos can only be played off of a DVD disc or the iPod.

I watch movies all the time from my sd card, usually have to play with it to find the files as i forget every time how to do it, you have to select the source ad te sd card then press media and pick the file you want there are a few more steps but I will sit down with it and see before I post more

I'll try that then. I've messed around with it for a while when the deck first came out. Couldnt get it to work.

It is a very nice unit. The 4200 was the 2010 model and the 4300 is the 2011 model. Same unit but different model #

I suggest getting it from here because you get free shipping, a dash kit and a wiring harness included. You also get a 1yr warranty and Sonic's customer service is awesome.

Thx! Has anyone connected a usb hub via a cable to p4200? This way you could connect an evo, itouch, etc. I know it would only allow one to play at one time.

I was looking at this on Amazon as well. There's a lot of very informative videos and it talks all about the video and audio playback, as well as light settings, extra options and even the cable that you need to pruchase seperately for the iPod. I plan on getting one soon, but I want to find a suitable Double Din first. The one that I've found is on taco

And looks pretty good. How does it work but the way? Pretty cool?
