Default In-dash DVD question.

So i just got a Pioneer AVIC-N3 In dash unit and was wondering if there was any way to make it work with my laptop as a monitor so i can do some tuning thru this and just leave a computer under the seat. Is this possible? It would have to be VGA or USB from the computer to whatever on the headunit.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Basically you would need a video out from the AVIC-N3. Do you know if it has one?
