Alpine Dvd With Colour Icc

[Ghia]

Well guys, I have (with some technical help on the ICC wiring side from a very helpful member of CAA) installed my DVD player on my BA Mkii XR6T.

I used the following :

Alpine DVE 5207

S Video to RGB convertor 236 from www.carconverters.com.au.

Toyota female HU plug

I'll through up a few pics to give you guys an idea of what I have done - although its not the 'be all and end all' I'm very happy with the result.

Dummied up in position - the colours of the unit match quite well with the factory stuff :

Removing the tissue box holder I fabricated a fascia and used 4 screws to hold it in place

Pretty much the final setup - it shows the momentry overlay when ICC controls are used whilst the DVD is in action

All this and not a single wire was cut for the installation!

Well done Ghia - looks very neat - SLICK!!

I thought this particular model Alpine comes wiht an RGB output so it would just hook up to the ICC - if you connect the correct wires.

Can I ask - would the Alpine fit in the space next to the 12volt cigarette lighter output or did you HAVE to remove that?

Good work, looks like it was meant for it

Not as far as I know, but if it does it will make the job easier for people in the future

In reality it wouldn't fit. The upper and lower components (roof and floor for want of better words) slope inwards and the actual unit wouldn't therefore fit in the tissue box holder. With some modification you probably could - but not worth it IMHO.

My advise would be, to do something similar to what I have done and re-mount the 12volt charger onto it - moving the HU to one side.

Hey! I hadn't seen you post on here (even though you have 150+ posts ), yes well bob^ was very helpful on the wiring side (esp the ICC bit).

Lots of thanks from me :w00t:
