im kinda curious how you knew which wires were which. i have the pinout locations from the actual service manual from work, but my directions with the convertor doesnt use the same names for certain wires. anyone wanna help me out on what is what?

ok, try this again....

this is from the service manual


and this is what came as instructions

 

First you cut R SIG, B SIG and G SIG from the manual. Connect the ends going toward the navi computer to Red in from source, 1 Green in from source 1 and Blue in from source 1 on your box. Connect the ends going to the screen to Red out, Green out and Blue out on the switchbox.

 

thanks for the info!!!!!

wow, i just realized the R sig etc. in the manual stands for RED...... wouldnt have had to ask this if it was stated in the directions

 

o. what about the "sync" signal? WTF is that?

 

sync should be the brown wire

 

Id there is a problem with a sync, you will see a bunch of lines on your screen. Sometimes display is synced off the green signal, sometimes it is on a separate wire. "c" is a strange abbreviation for "sync", but nothing fits better. I suggest you start with RGB, and, only if you see lines on the screen, connect "c" wire the same way.

 

Not to steal your thread, but I have a question that maybe one of you could answer about this converter. I installed mine this weeekend and when I first turn on the car, the normal Acura wallpaper is blurred and hard to see for about 1-2 seconds while the converter powers up to let the bypass signal thru. After that, the screen looks and works like normal. Is this normal or are you guys hooking the power to a constant 12+ so there is no start up delay.(this would drain the battery?) Or are you hooking up something differently to make this not happen. Thanks

 

but what wire is it on my vehicle harness?

 

wire 12 which is colored brown, and called C sig

 

you must be hooked into a wire that does give either the proper voltage or doesn't turn on for whatever reason till the navi boots up.

i have mine hooked into the cig lighter wire, which is a switched 12V wire

 

Fixed it, turns out the noise filter that is wired with the dvd player must have an internal relay and is delayed about 2 seconds. I hooked it befored the filter and everything starts up like it used to. Thanks for all the help.
