Wow this looks really cool...
I believe it connects to the display controller the same way that the nav unit connects to it. The display controller appears to act as a source switch/multiplexer for the display. I can verify when I get home later...shajan said:Hmm, looks a little more involved than simple RGB. There is RGB Sync and ground sync. The HP and VP are prolly horizontal and vertical position.
Any idea how the rear view camera hooks up to the LCD?
I'm in the Plainview area. How about yourself?shajan said:Phil, just noticed that you are from LI as well. Whereabouts??
Here's the rear view schematic. It looks like it uses analog direct to the display.PhilP69 said:I believe it connects to the display controller the same way that the nav unit connects to it.

Ok - just down the road a piece!shajan said:I'm in Garden City Park/New Hyde Park area.
Looks like it would be easier to connect through the camera input, but then there might be other issues.
If the NAV input is RGB, can we simply splice in the wires or do we need some sort of a switcher?
That's definitely an option with some of the mini-ITX motherboards (http://www.viaembedded.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81) out there as several of them have composite video outputs. The quality may be somewhat degraded (?), but the ease of installation might be a worthwhile tradeoff, especially considering the number of wires that would have to hacked into to get VGA to work.johnmax said:Can we run it into the Nav-TV box? That converts video into RGB for the screen.
