MrBean Member 400 Member For: 20y 4m 25d Location: Melbourne Posted 09/10/06 09:05 AM Posted 09/10/06 09:05 AM Hello Guys,K, recently relocated from South Africa, and got myself a new F6 Tornado.UTE came with Prestige sound, and monocolor LCD.I want to assemble a decent carputer, and install 8" LCD with touchscreen. All components on their way.What I need to know is if there is a difference between ICC's for Prestige-, and Premium sound? Can I drive say for example, premium soundsystem's color LCD off the prestige's ICC?And where can I find decent wiring diagrams, or at least ideas of what connectors/pins on the ICC goes where?Feedback would be appreciated.Kind regards,MrBean.

I finally picked up the F6 on past Friday, 6th of Oct 2006, so now I can proceed.I will eventually assemble an Atomic shortblock, have a bullet-proof bottom end, and boost around 17-18psi into the setup. Will fit larger intercooler, injectors, Capa Edit, and a few other odds and ends.For now, I want to focus on the interior, getting dead-reckoning GPS sorted, based on uBlox module with Murata Gyro.Same with Carputer, going to use my spare Conroe 6400 cpu, have Kingmax DDR-II 533 memory, and 2x Slimline DVD-Rom dual-layer drives, as well as a couple harddrives.Might use spare 60gig Laptop drive to conserve power, and minimize heat in LC19 enclosure.....Have to sort through a few things, eg pinouts for ICC, and then I need to study the Premium Color LCD, to see how they're controlling the overlay function, I know it's switched on/off externally, but I am not sure if there is a seperate control-line to the lcd itself to allow this dual-display function.I am not using stock color screen from Ford, rather a 8" Ebay special.Screen should be ok as it supports NTSC mode as well, so should be compatible to the ICC - if this ICC can support color lcd....Hope to receive some feedback from the knowledgeables Thanx for your input, will keep you posted.

The majority of you may already know this but for those new to the audio side of motoring keep this in mind for future reference.I recently purchased a premium ICC with 6 in dash CD & LCD screen out of a BA Fairmont without doing any homework. The premium ICC can be installed to replace the standard ICC but you will lose operation of your Aircon & Heating because of the Auto Climate Control on the Premium ICC.To run the Climate control you need the Auto Climate Control module installed inside the dash which is why I didn't make the purchase, these modules cost $1770 which doesn't include testing & labour. The 2nd problem is the LCD screen will not give you the opportunity to run a DVD player as it's only a pretty color screen and that's all, only the TFT screen will allow this option.
