I just installed video inputs (DVD, TV, etc.) to my factory Nav screen and extra audio inputs.
The whole thing is on my website at http://www.bobclevenger.com/RX-8_AV_project_page_1.htm
I've just finished the pages, so there are liable to be some typos; please let me know if you find any or if something isn't clear.

 

Good stuff! Seems clear and complete to me.

Thanks for the good writeup!

hey bob.. why dont you use the secondary input on your ME3 ?

put your Mp3 player in the 2nd dvd input then you can use the dvd 's built in EQ on your lcd screen to eq your mp3s :D

 

Does this work for you? I tried it and found that it didn't work. Am I missing a setting?

Edit; 23 July 0216 PST
I just checked it out. My DVD-ME3 won't accept audio-only inputs. It needs a video signal to activate the input (either 2nd or 3rd). And I can't fool it by returning the video out back to the AV1 in. I'm wondering if I can use one of the RGBs lines from the nav unit to make the ME3 think there is a video signal there???
Hmm, just had an idea (mark your calendar, it's a rare event :D ). When I get a rear-view camera I can wire it into both the auxiliary inputs in parallel and the ME3 ought to be happy.

This thread is over 3 years old.

 

Re-animating this three-year-old thread with dead links helps no one, Closed.
