Squidward

oh well.. Guess we'll have to wait until the HU connections are figured out before we purchase this thing.

thew

or buy it now.. and use it or hang on to it.. its a very cool RCA unit.

Does anyone know the part number for the JDM T.V unit?

Also the part number for the wiring harnes from the T.V. Unit to the DVD/Nav or head unit (where ever it goes)?

I'd consider buying just to tinker with it.

Im pestering the local Mazda dealer over here to help me
as I am still stock with this parts.
I have about 4 left. My only customers who got this
working succesfully are servicemember: military who have actually purchase JSPEC cars over here and brought to Europe with them.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++

Also, I have been getting hate emails (about 6)lately for selling you this parts. I am getting blamed for this stuff not working. Please tell members on what ever forum you belong that I am just entertaining orders as this is what I do sell JDM parts.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++

Did you like the RX8 brochure?

Thanks and as always please keep in touch.

Thew, your rigth man those people should have waited to make sure the item worked before they purchased it, and it's not his fault. We've been saying all through-out this thread that your were going to test one and that it may not work.

thew

and i guess now all those helpfull people that wanted to contribute some money have all gone away?

truemagellen

no no...I'll send $15...your work was great...PM your paypal info

Unser

ditto

thew

that would be great.. I am still working on a 2nd idea. But it will take a bit to test out.

you can pay pal anything you want to donate to thew@sbcreative.com

................

truemagellen

its on the way thew...

keep us updated on the 2nd idea...since I'm a modding junkie for our car

thew

your the best ..

And I know what u mean about the MOds ...... I just cant stop

j-apex rx

can you do what this guy did .http://www011.upp.so-net.ne.jp/tkus/for-8/VTR.htm

thew

thats the t.v tuner he plugged into. If we had that in our cars then you only nned a plug and some rca's to get into the system..... However.. Japan seems not trust us in the States to Watch T.v.

Thommino

Thew,I see your guide on installing this japanese product and I put it on my personal site ( http://www.thommino.com/mazdarx8.htm ). Can I do it?
So do you installed correctly this product. And does it work? How do you solve the connetor difference? Could I install on my European mazda rx-8. Where can I connet the connector?
Thanks

thew

it will work in one of 2 ways.. 1 if you have a jdm mazda from Japan "A" Spec. or 2 if you have an after mearket AVelectronics box or something like it. IF your Euro 8 came with the T.V. tuner option from MAzda then yes you can just plug the RCA input into the T.V. tuner that is mounted in your trunk.. But if you dont have the JDM t.v. unit then you will have to buy a Video input device like the Avelectronics box and hook it up to that as one of the 4 inputs that it has.

YOu can find allot of info here on the avelectronics box and the Nav Vision box.

thew

just do a search on Avelectronics or Nav Vision.

Thommino

I have an European Mazda.
What about second method? Why does it work only with AVeletronics? I have another European switch (2 AV/Line-in (RCA) + 1 AV line out (RCA) + Built in Tv tuner: http://www.cartft.com/carpc/catalog/il/400 ),how can I understand if this product will work?
Do you sell the other cable that you buy and don't work? how much?

Where is installed the custom T.V. tuner? I think there isn't on EU Mazda I cannot see the Tv on my Madza.

Shall I connect line-out(RCA) of my switch (1 video + 2 audio) to Japanese connector (line in) that you installed? And then where can I connect the plastic connect of Japanese product? Is it right?

thew

its really just a nice RCA cable.. I cut off the OEM connecter and soldered on RCA connecters to plug it into my AV box.. you can plug this unit into anything that will take a RCA connection.. ... then you can mount the other side anywhere you want..

Yes I still have the 2nd unit and can sell it to you. IT cost me $130.00 u.s.
IF you like PM me with you address and ill get a cost for shipping to you.

Thommino

Only a nice cable? :-(

I need a line-in A/V,not a nice Rca cable. A long Rca cable cost 5$.
120Euro for an RCA cable it's too expensive. I think that that cable add a A/V line in to my madza. If I must also buy Avelectonics or Pie Adapter, I don't need it. :-(

thew

read the above thread from start to finish.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yes a nice RCA cable. With a rotating cover and its OEM equipment. Very stock.
if you want to hack at your 8 then by all means buy a $5 doaller rca cable for your 30,000 8 ! and poke it through the back seat ! .. put a big red flag on it so we all get to see..

Sheeees.. No respect ................



good luck.
