well i am taking my car into a local shop, a guy there says that he has done the conversion with no parts accept rca ends. So we will see what he does. It would be cool if he has some seceret trick where there are no parts needed that would cut costs way down. This is to convert the factory navigation monitor to play video.

i dont know about that...

I remember a long time ago...like two years ago this guy user name Mtoker got it done at a shop and later it fried his navi screen....so he bought a new one.

DONT TRY IT....unless the shop is gonna pay for a new one if it messes up.

Don't believe the hype....its not gonna happen. A few good people (SteveSTMS, etc...) have devoted a lot of time to that conversion and it needs an RGB encoder not matter what. Like he said, make sure the shop will pay for a new navi screen if yours gets fried !!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't let him do it. YES, you CAN, and WILL get video with just RCA cables.....and a few weeks down the road, your navi screen will BLOW OUT...I PROMISE you that! Unless he is using some sort of composite to rgb converter, the signals will be wrong and ruin your display.

heyjoe..... I thought you make the on your own conversions... http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=39179

So why did you take your car into a shop?

VeiLsTyleZ

The man was charging, what, $25 for the "instructions"??? The way he was talking about all the methods of payment he takes makes me think....

no i can do the rbg decoder, but since they are hard to come by i made a few calls to some buddys of mine at other car audio shops. He said that he had done the video conversion on his 2000 tl with just rca ends, and it still works to this day. sio i was going to have him do it to mine. I was just trying to help you guys out. thats all, I mean come on grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wow:

VeiLsTyleZ

its fine that you wanna help people out..hey thats great~
hey.. but how did get pics of every step you took of the RGB conversion if you havent even done it to your car yet?
just wondering~
hey im helping you out by telling not to do it~ i mean it might last for a few weeks but thats it...it will go out.
RGB signals and video signals are not the same.

i dont know ...if you wanna try it then ..by all means
let us know wat happens ~

VeiLsTyleZ

btw how much is he changing?

Speaking of "helping out"...weren't you the one trying to sell this information to us???? Sounds like you were just trying to help yourself out...

I think JPritch put it best:
