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.
