dvd player for oem tv

[rs4steve]

phil/bushy is it possible to link an aftermarket dvd player to factory fitted tv if so what would you recomend ?

cheers steve

I think there is an input somewhere. I think it's in the boot, so I would consider getting portable DVD and putting it in the center armrest in the back. Slide out with it's own screen, and feed OEM TV. You can get power from the rear 12v outlet.

Sounds like a damn good idea to me.... [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi! i´m using a panasonic dvd, fitted in the rear left and connected to the tv module via rgb. theres is an infrared eye in the front for the remote. works perfect.

does playstation work on same setup?

[Bushy]

yep

well any input you like really

even a laptop! although the screen would be smaller than the laptop itself!!!

I use an input for my video camera. Some people have a reversing camera. As Bushy says, just about anything.

So in theory if i had a S3 with Sat Nav+ that the Unit in the boot has inputs for audio/video on them too?

What connections does it have? rgb? svhs? phono`s?
And how do you select the input from the front?

Cheers for the info [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Riz

connection is RGB

I guess you must have an aux connection, unless when it senses a signal it accepts that

ANyone who has done this?

[Riz_RS4]

I dont actually have a TV in my S3 [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

But obviously going to look into this when i get my next one [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] RGB is good indeed [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] could even hook my xbox up to it [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] wow!

I could well run some extended RGB cables all the way from the back to the front under the car mats and into the glove box [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi Chaps

I've just stuck a DVD player in the boot and plugged into the SatNAV Plus box in the boot (or TV module combined). The Input Connectors are as follows:

1* Stereo RCA Pair (Audio Red+Black)
1* RCA Composite Video in (Yellow)
1* SVideo in

You need to use either the Composite Video or SVideo. You can't use these inputs together.

Hope this helps - btw nice forum

Best Regards
