Went a slightly different route but got reliable video streaming to finally work on my phone from my movie server at home:
Obtain Market App: VLC Stream & Convert 
Start up VLC on host computer (On port 8091):
vlc -I http –http-host :8091
Start app VLC Stream & Convert
- Select Menu / Connect
- Enter your IP <hostname> and 8091 port
To fix audio lag go to: Menu->Settings->Stream rtsp->Synchronize on audio

Just happened to be watching the HD version one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies “Fifth Element” and noticed again the scene where Corbin is talking with his boss “Finger”. At one point he picks up a picture of the mysterious person and it would appear that a bit of the picture is disclosed. I took a few stills to try and get a glimpse of what the movie producers used as a picture. Looks like it was a legit picture, just never got to see it from the camera angle.
Here they are (Around frame 26,000 if you would like to peak as well):
Front side:
Backside (translucent). You can almost make out someone with a handle-bar mustache.
Picture of Corbin Dallas at the time for a frame of reference:
The 2005 TL appears to have a design flaw with the door handle cover coming off and getting lost. If you are under warranty (which I doubt at this point) you can try to get them to fix it under “goodwill”, however, for me it is worth the $12 to get it sent to you online from here:

I am seeing about a 1/2 sec lag on audio and am looking into that. Any help would be appreciated!
vlc -v v4l2:///dev/video0 :v4l2-standard=3:v4l2-standard=45056 :v4l2-chroma= :v4l2-input=0 :v4l2-audio-input=0 :v4l2-io=1 :v4l2-width=640 :v4l2-height=480 :v4l2-tuner=0 :v4l2-tuner-frequency=673250

Once I get a working solution, ill update this post.
My Father-In-Law’s van was having issues driving down here, so we decided to interrogate the computer about the issue. Here is how I did it.
http://broncozone.com/topic/14269-code-reader/page__p__74587&#entry74587
http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/
Started to work on developing some Android applications on my Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) machine and ran into a few complications during installation of the Eclipse plugin. Started getting a dependency for “org.eclipse.gef” when trying to follow Google’s instructions.
Here is how I did it:
- Ensure Eclipse is installed (sudo apt-get install eclipse)
- Run Eclipse
- Select “Help” -> “Install New Software…”
>>>Repeat the following for the list of repositories<<
- Select "Add"
- Enter the Name and Location of the following
Name: Android Plugin
Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
>>
Name: Data Tools
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/datatools/updates
>>
Name: Web Tools
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
>>
Name: EMF
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/releases/
>>
Name: GEF
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/
>>>
(You should now be in the “Install” Dialog after adding the above)
- Select “Android Plugin” from the “Work With:”
- Check “Developer Tools”
- Select “Next” button and follow to the end
Viola. Hopefully a working Android Plugin for you.
