Ok so after a bit of messing around i figure out how to get the video on the nav screen with a gen 2 tech car. Im finalizing everything now and i will post more soon. Sorry about the crap pics i took them on my phone and there was glare from the sun. You can see that i took a pic of myself on the screen and a pic of the video on the screen. More to come.


Green - positive power
Black - power ground
Red - video ground
White - video
Gray&Brown - switching for video to run on screen

 

wow your a genius!!!!!!!!!! hook it up with the details

 

i still need to work out the kinks. That is the connector for the backup cam. I need to figure out how to bypass it now to make it come on when the car isnt in reverse. I had a movie playing on it before and it looked good.

 

dude AWESOME!!! i would totally be down to trying this on my car. thanks for taking the first step!

 

sweeet!

 

awesome job man !! can't wait for details

 

Thanks man, subscribed for details.

 

Thats bad ass. Nice work!

 

What is the video source?

 

Omg this is epic! You are my hero! I will be absolutely trying this out once you post some general instructions.

What is the video source that your using?

Also, in theory, when you figure out how to have it active in non-reverse mode, you could turn on the backup cam without being in reverse, which IMHO would be pretty cool.

This is epic man, a serious break thru.

More pics of this video goodness

 

I currently have this, along with a couple of other guys on the 3G TL side. All you have to do is splice into the R/V camera wire, and install a switch.

 

alright !!!! can't wait to see more pics and details.... thanks!

 

how do you get the camera to come on when the car is not in reverse though? Have you all figured that out?

I used a spare camera i had laying around my house. It just happend to be a 9v dc camera and the power going to the car camera seemed to be 8vdc when i checked. I am going to do more investigating and hopefully make a connector so no wires have to be cut or spliced. I just need to find that connector somewhere so i can make a spare. Im trying to put the time in when i have it but lets try to put our heads together here.

Now it's your turn. What is your video source?

 

wish there were some pics on that thread. I just need to find the reverse wire on the tsx. My video source was an extra camera i had. I and going to just mount a composite plug in the glove box i can plug anything into

 

^
I see. I was hoping you found a way to play DVD's w/o getting a converter.

 

that's what i thought. good work though

 

... i can play dvds with this. Dvd works with composite video as well. I just used the camera becuase i had it laying around. When i get a free minute i will plug a dvd player in and take some pics/vid. I just wish i had a wiring diagram for the car so i didnt have to waste so much time mapping out the wires.

 

Can you find out way to plays dvd movies?

 

any update on this?

 

You were able to get the composite video working, but could you figure out how to either split it so that i can use the backup camera when needed, or to make it where the video can be streamed from an ipod either through composite streaming the ipod can do, or a dock connector via a usb cable. I have always been curious about this, and someone even joked around about just putting a tv behind the car and put it in reverse to watch movies.

 

ok good news, i got the wiring diagrams. I am at work and cannot veiw several of them, i will post shortly. I think i have some good stuff many of you will like. Sorry about the suspense!

 

update?

 

i posted a new updated thread...

 

Does anyone have the link to the updated thread?
TIA

 

that is awesome man!

 

u have any problems with it or nah?

 

Op

thanks

 

nice
