That comes out easily to plug into the new deck.Behind the fuse panel is a plug ofr the carkit that has your ground, constand, and accessories. I used the cigarette lighter wiring though for ground and accessories, and ran a new constand power lead. That is because I have a distrobution block under my drivers seat so that wasn't a big job. Make sure any new power wires that you run are FUSED!!!The factory speaker wires were cut in the looms in the kick panels, and I joined my wire to them. I couldnt run new wires into the doors because my hands are too fat, so there is about half a meter of the factory stuff. The rest is my own wiring.

There is a video card called ArcadeVGA which will let you do it no worries.I'm going to try the TV out on my PC now that I have the adaptor, and I'll see how that looks.you will probably need a circuit to correctly merge the H & V syncs to use on the ICC. even then you will need a program like power strip to get your video card outputting the correct resolution and refresh to simulate NTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the ATI cards can do it. I was using power strip too, but I was unsuccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ms700s car all the gear is mounted under front passenger seat, with a single cable running up to the ICC that handles Input selection, video signals and IR (if wanted).... Just a little ciggy pack sized box up between the SatNav and the ICC plug.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
