scot3818 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Has anyone plugged an aftermarket car DVD player into that aux input? Ed Yes, and nothing happens. I did manage to get a picture on it by entering the monitors diag screen and switching to AUX. But I have no idea how we'd normally go about switching to that input. On the back of my B9's monitor I also have a 5 pin green connector in the top left, it isn't on the schematic so I'm kind of hoping that it is the RSE plug...

Jon in CT Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes, and nothing happens. I did manage to get a picture on it by entering the monitors diag screen and switching to AUX. But I have no idea how we'd normally go about switching to that input.Here's how to do it on a spec.B. Set the parking brake and turn on the AUX video source. Press the INFO button below the screen to view the video. To adjust the video (contrast, size, etc.) press the button to the right of the INFO button below the screen. If you want to watch video without setting the parking brake, then you have to ground a wire going into the display unit. That wire has been described as gray but it appears light blue in the picture linked below. In that picture the wire has been cut and the end of the wire leading into the black connector has been stripped of insulation. That's the end that needs to be connected to a ground. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19526&d=1149818735 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hooked it up the parking break WAS on, and the info button did nothing... I'll play around again with it tomorrow, but have a feeling things may be different. I know the input works, I just wish I knew how to switch to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 That's my ultimate goal - software boost and EGT gauges on the OEM NAVI screen. Haven't had time to mess with it at all. Forget it. You would have to be able to reprogram this stuff. It's properietry so unless you're a maestro of hacking and programming and have infinite amount of time... or unless you'll get documentation with whatever compiler (prolly a cross-compiler) for that platform... no way, forget it. For EGT you need a sensor, that our car does not have. Yes it could be hooked up to a computer with a proper analog-to-digital converter. Boost is available in ECU and on the car's controller area network (CAN). The only realisitic possiblity is to hack the monitor (screen) and hook it up to a carputer (in-car pc computer), that could display boost, egt and what not for you. But then you would have to ditch the OEM navigation or figure a way to share/switch the display between the carpc and OEM nav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 ok no more drinks for me... Oh, well, the EGT sensor in the uppipe is pretty useless. If you want to measure EGT you need one (or more) in exhaust manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLo Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Nothing is impossible. It was programmed, it can be reprogammed unless it's embedded on a PROM that can't be flashed and must be replaced - then forget it. Who cares about a friggen camera? I thought you were going to revamp the lame guage pack that's in the nav menu? You're not reading or understanding my posts.

It was programmed, it can be reprogammed unless it's embedded on a PROM that can't be flashed and must be replaced - then forget it. Sure, in theory yes... sorry to be skeptical, but sys admin skills are not up this task. You would have to disassemble the code in the nav computer and reprogram it in assembler (I wonder what CPU that comp has). Unless you can find a cross-compiler for it, so you could embed some compiled code (for the new functionality), but then still you would have to hack in assembler to hook up the new code. Besides, remember, even if in theory you could reprogram it, you may not have all the information available in the nav computer. I am not actually sure if it can pull everything form CAN/ECU, or it's just fed with fuel consumption data. Anyway, I wish you good luck...

I think you're right. I'm a mechanical engineer (by degree) and a Sys Admin by current trade with some Assembly experience a long, long time ago. I think what's needed here is a really bright Electrical Engineer - certainly not me. The NAV has got to be fed at the very least: TPS, Fuel Consumption/Pressure, Odometer/Trip, and Velocity (if not from the ECU then from GPS) in order to calculate and display the current gauges, IMHO. I'm doubtful (but hopeful) about ECU EGT and Boost information being fed there. You never know. One of these days, when I'm not camping, playing soccer Dad, and commiting to all sorts of other family responsibilities (not complaining), I'll seriously investigate. ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvigneau Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This is probably stupid but I have a question... Has any tried to get into the Diagnostic menu according to the instructions? It looks like the default password is 014220. It is accessed by pressing for 5 seconds or more on the top center portion of the screen. They probably changed the default password, but I thought I would ask anyway. No Silent CD Aux-In Solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphabit Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I had to press the info button 2 times, first one gets me to the normal input, and the second press(with barking park on) is for the Video input on the back of the screen. I also found that if you do not have a video cable connected to the back it will not go to that screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabit Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 that posting anything without pictures is useless, so here is two pictures of waht the screen looks like with video.

NormanPA Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Any progress getting the stilly destination lockout while moving disabled? I popped in the DVD-ROM and it looks very much like what the Corvette folks are struggling with: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1204336&highlight=mp3+upgrade Sadly, they haven't figured it out yet. Neither have the Cadillac folks, again with a very, very similar unit. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-srx-forum/13242-another-nav-diagnostic-code.html All of these, including the Subaru, use the Denso format. I found the 014220 code in the boot file, and there are tons of other numbers, too. The vette folks tried similar things to no avail, though.

NormanPA Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 On the DVD, you'll find a LOADER.KWI that some believe is firmware or bootloader. It contains strings that appear on the screen. Folks have found some limited documentation the KWI format. I'm going to attempt to get their "decoder". Anyway, here are the numbers I came across. I haven't tried them all yet, just the ones that "looked" good. Folks in the other forums have done this, although I expanded my search a bit more than they. They've reported 2 other codes that work, which will be different on our system, but worth a shot. Note that these will likely be different depending on what version of the software you have. I have ver 1.1 2005-2006 (which, BTW, is completely inaccurate for addresses in my county.) 0033 0066 007 008 014220 0166 020 027 02789 084 088 0880 0950 100 108 110 1100 121 122 12223 12345 1333 13333 202 207 208 2222 2223 227 2552 260950 274 2777 278 3001 301 302 305070 3060 308 311 31100 313 3133 322 323 3233 323333 332 33211 333 3333 33333 333333 33335 3335 333522 3358 34211 343345 34335 34345 3435 353333 358 358877 36979 370 374 378 4008 406080 4108 411 416 422 4258 43211 4333 4335 433522 434522 4358 443522 446765 46765 484 488 5046 509 5443 5454 5459 5545 5554 5555 55v5 57775 59642 636 640 656 657 6661 6666 666666 6765 67652 676522 677 689 7550 7772 7776 848 863 864 894 92969 933 970 9971 9998 999898 9999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneycanuk Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 In my VW/Audi days, you could reprogram the car into different modes (Europe, US, CAN, etc) and this would bypass having to click "accept" everytime the nav was started. Surely something similar can be accomplished for us? Maybe for the GM guys as well if we want to be chummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
