You can use a 4PDT switch (sold on-line). When using this switch, the RGB1 decoder is mounted behind the dash.

OR

Use a 4PDT relay 12volt (sold at Radio Shack). The RGB1 and relay are mounted back with the navigation computer and wired up to a single pole dash mounted switch.

Hi Steve
What is the advantage of the relay?

I need one of those

The relay can be easier to install in the trunk than pulling your dash apart. You basically buy the relay and socket from Radio Shack and pre-wire the AVC-RGB1 to the correct socket pins. Also hook power wires on to energize the relay. This will leave you with 2 sets of 4 terminals to be connected between navi computer plug and wire harness going to the display unit. "Intercept" the 4 wires (White,Red,Yellow and Green) on the middle black plug of the navi computer.

Hi! I also am looking around of a DVD Player and Navi System in one. Is it worth to buy the system all in one or just buy the Player or Navi system then upgrade.

Hey STEVE,
can we hook up a laptop somehow to this decoder ? and see the laptop or do we have to get any other part ??

Thanks

You can hook up just a laptop to it and see the display as long as your laptop has video out. It will be incredibly small though. I used my laptop as a testing tool once i installed it.
