Like a lot on this board I am dissapointed that the Sat Nav does not offer TV/DVD input so after some research I have decided to do my own and hack the Sat Nav system.
I realise that AVElectronic Link (http://www.avelectronic.com/products.htm) offer a system, however I live in the UK and require a PAL standard TV tuner not NTSC and I am a sucker for doing things myself.
Therefore after doing some research I have decided to do it myself.
I am going to use a Pioneer Gex P7000TV TV Tuner and "splice" that into the Sat Nav wiring to the LCD screen.
Now my main problem is the wiring of the Sat Nav system. I have the wiring schematics for the RX8 however they do not identify what pin out/wire is what (RGBS Red, RGBS Green, RGBS Blue, RGBS Sync and RGBS Ground).
This is where I need some help. Does anyone have such information or point me in the direction of such info.
Admittedly I have not experimented myself as yet with the wires, however I have the GEX modded and built the OSD/IR remote device and all I need to do is connect it it up to the correct Pins/wires.
FYI below is the sites that I have obtained most of my info:
Link 1 (look under Gex P7000 link) a 350z driver but I'm not holding that against him. (http://www.swooby.com/z/navpc/)
Link 2 (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/boom3/)
Link 3 (http://www.geocities.com/wonderer369/G35Nav.html)
Link 4 (Forum discussion) (http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51326)
Any help would be helpful. If all goes well i will share the info and post a "How To".
Regards
Stuart
