This Business Is All Too Confusing

[The Ageless Stranger]

Looking at getting a few more bits and bobs for my upcoming install. I have the Sat Nav system in my '54 Galaxy Ghia, but I'm not sure which of these items (if either of them) will be required to add the DVD/TV to the screen. There seems to be quite a difference in price, although the cheaper one gives 2 inputs compared to 1 with the more expensive. This isn't a concern, as the input is going to be run through a switch box anyway. It's just the connectors that are different. If anyone knows which of these are compatible please let me know.

 

PS - I already have a CD multi-changer installed in the rear pocket by the previous owner - would this need to come out, or be added to the switch box? Or can it be left in place also? :lol:

 

Cheers

The CD Multi changer can be left in place ...... another good source of information is this site Ageless

I needed this to work out the S contact pin for the subwoofer "remote on" wire .... I did notice the Dietz do a video adapter and various looms for all types of fits.

 

Have a look and Im sure some of your problems will have already been covered.

 

Good luck

Hello m8

 

The first box plugs into the round black plug on the MFD and alows you to put Video and Audio in the system. You may have to change the input to Video/Audio in the input sectio nof the MFD.

 

The second plugs into the 2nd verson of the TV tuner, This is a box that again plugs into the round black plug in the back of the MFD but you need to program the MFD to tell it has a TV Tuner pluged in, :( then with the cable u can switch between TV and what ever you plug in, DVD/PS2/3 and so on

I got my install finished yesterday - I'll post pics when I get 5 minutes.

 

The module for the video to be displayed on the MFD works a treat (while stationary) but the picture goes off once moving. I know that this is a safety aspect built into the system, but is there any way to fool the car into thinking that its stationary in order to get around this at all?

 

Perhaps I have opted for the wrong module?

 

Thanks to all that have inspired me to finally get this sorted - my kids are chuffed to bits!

The plug and play leads that you get off ebay sort it out.

It connects/disconnects the gala pulse on pin 5 of the 26 pin connector.
