Steu851 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Ok, it's fine then, but how you planned to change the input for the video in everytime you use reverse? Manually? I have there at video-in a dvb-t receiver. Yes, I have to manually change to Aux the Audio system but I don't need the camera every time I use the reverse. I already have parking sensor and I drive cars for 20 years without sensors or camera so if there is a condition where camera is needed I can switch on manually. Anyway I'll purchase the connector for the back camera input and I'll test, but I am already happy whith manual switch Update: Need to connect to rear camera plug, the aux video in is disabled if car move, I can see only if I move very sloooow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natas Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Touch screen controlling PC? WORKS!!! Turns out that the 2008 Legacy has a different revision of the nav screen as compared to the documents in this thread. Thankfully, it's similar enough that I could build a circuit that worked with it. Any chance of putting together a package that is as P&P as possible? I'm sure there would be a bit of interest on here for that. I'm currently still looking into the CarPC thing still as an option to what I want to accomplish.

I'm currently still looking into the CarPC thing still as an option to what I want to accomplish. There is nothing plug and play about what I did, nor is there a way to make the mod plug and play. I had to disassemble the entire unit down to PCB, add a signal wire to a known point, remove a surface mount component (4-wire receiver), and add wires to reconnect all signals through a relay. I also had to select a control method that had could supply enough current for the relay. Short version, it's doable, but if you can take apart the unit and do the soldering, chances are I've just laid out how to do everything already.

I was hoping to get away from the pad soldering < I suck at it , I may still try this... might have to get a friend to do the soldering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground000 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If you guys are interested in car pc. A quick google search came up with 'double din pc' theres a lot to look at and dont know how good the quality lcd (touch sensitive)... specs...Looks like can be had for a little over $1k w/ Windows OS 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ean611 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It's not an easy mod, and it requires a few parts. Specifically, the 4 wire touch screen controller (USB device), relay, and some IC's for switching logic. A couple of disclaimers, what I did was composite video only, which limits video quality. A screen from mp3car.com will give you better video results. Also, I worked with my 2008 screen. I'm not sure which screen you have, as there appear to be a couple of revisions. Finally, I'm not sure you'd want to pay for this. Given the time it would take to create and validate, you're looking at 10-20 hours labor.

underground000 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Agree the stock nav is at least upgradeable vs the double din with whatever navi it comes with. Besides the Nav I do not use the other functions it has I was looking at double dins and seeing if I can place one where the stock navi goes. I have the OEM navi and considering using my iPhone Navi cause I found an app thats free and has real-time traffic (Waze). Couple things came to me: If a double din face does fit with little mods to the bezel, I have enough skill to mount the unit and some knowledge to fab the bezel This saves ~$400 for the JDM dash kit Then I started looking into double din Car PC can be had for around the same price as a decent Double Din, again how's the quality compare...prob not as well.... Yea $500 and you can build yourself one, then finding power source and mounting location, wont be that hard... Some Double Din PCs seem pretty good processors and what not (Dual Core Atom) Sorry for getting off topic... 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f85stealth Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Anyone with a 2010 or 2011 car that is willing to burn me a copy of the NAV discs so I can keep a backup? I don't have a burner at home I will pay for your trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama0787 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have the OEM navi and considering using my iPhone Navi cause I found an app thats free and has real-time traffic (Waze). The app Maps that apple provides has real time traffic info. You just have to use the settings once the app is running to turn it on. It is in the same place where you pick map type satellite, map, or hybrid. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I live the 'wave' app, its a full gps w/ voice guidance that speaks street names and real time traffic from other users, all for free also available for the android 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstgofstr Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have an 07 Spec B. I'd like to replace the OEM stereo with a JVC KD-R820BT (I already have the JDM dash kit), the JVC has a Telephone mute wire, I'm assuming I can connect that to the NAV unit to mute the audio on the stereo when it wants to "speak". My question is, how do I get the audio from the NAV to my speakers? I'll be powering the fronts with an external amp and RCA line level signals from the JVC. Could I just tap into the left line level input on the amp? I've been all through this thread, maybe I missed this being discussed before.... Thanks, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstgofstr Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I think I've found a solution to my problem, the JL CL-SES. It will auto switch to the NAV when it senses the signal. Has anyone used this unit before? Thanks, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama0787 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Anyone think the device mentioned above would work with video feeds instead of audio since they are both rca connectors maybe use the l/r dial all the way towards the side you connect the video feed then it would be away to have multiple video feeds still have reverse triggered by the tail lights and have the availability to switch between dvd and watching the rear view camera while moving forward with switches or input signals you choose to trigger it?

g99 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 i'm really pleased that i've found this thread and joined the forum even though i live in the UK. could someone please tell me if there is a recommended camera to buyor will any of them do ? does it need to be PAL or NTSC ? if i buy one with RCA jacks on do i just cut these off and use the wires to connect to the back of the unit. if the camera also comes with power cable do i just leave this disconnected or does that have to be connected somewhere? sorry to sound thick, but when it comes to car electrics i am i'm sure my brother can help me, but i'd like as much info as possible before i shell out on an ebay camera thanks in advance G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty9 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ok, that good I suppose. =) But I meant like more useful gauges from the can-bus info instead of 2! redundant MPG readings and a throttle angle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best solution has been to install a car-pc or Magden M.1b or HK Camp II and output video from one of those devices to the video input on the navi screen. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty9 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wow, those are pretty cool. They don't sell the Magden anymore =/ It appears the Camp2 is functionally the same but the graphics they used are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
