![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Like a lot on this board I am dissapointed that the Sat Nav does not offer TV/DVD input so after some research I have decided to do my own and hack the Sat Nav system.
I realise that AVElectronic Link offer a system, however I live in the UK and require a PAL standard TV tuner not NTSC and I am a sucker for doing things myself.
Therefore after doing some research I have decided to do it myself.
I am going to use a Pioneer Gex P7000TV TV Tuner and "splice" that into the Sat Nav wiring to the LCD screen.
Now my main problem is the wiring of the Sat Nav system. I have the wiring schematics for the RX8 however they do not identify what pin out/wire is what (RGBS Red, RGBS Green, RGBS Blue, RGBS Sync and RGBS Ground).
This is where I need some help. Does anyone have such information or point me in the direction of such info.
Admittedly I have not experimented myself as yet with the wires, however I have the GEX modded and built the OSD/IR remote device and all I need to do is connect it it up to the correct Pins/wires.
FYI below is the sites that I have obtained most of my info:
Link 1 (look under Gex P7000 link) a 350z driver but I'm not holding that against him.
Link 2
Link 3
Link 4 (Forum discussion)
Any help would be helpful. If all goes well i will share the info and post a "How To".
Regards
Stuart

Hey!! I have been working on this setup for SOME time now on my 3.... If you search this forum for gex-p7000tv or gex-p6400tv you should find my thread from june/july. I have also built this box. I have wired my car for it, just cant seem to get the ir/osd box working. Im not very good at building stuff like that. but anyways, shoot me an update on this. There should be a pin pinout somewhere on this site, there is much info in my thread somewhere... Thew is also a great guy, he really knows his stuff, and there are alot of other really intelligent people on this board, you guys know who you are! Check out my poost you will learn alot. and by the way i have an extra gex-p7000tv to get rid of so if anyone is intersted please post. thanks
