Ebay has some DVD players with VGA output, I'm sure this would be a cheaper alternative by skipping over the component to RGB converter.

If anyone can back me up on this feel free to throw in some comments..

Does it work on 12v or it is a stand alone home dvd player ?

LS007

This won't work it's component video Y, Pb, Pr. The navigation uses R,G,B + composite sync. Only way to get component to RGB is to use Audio Authority converter.

VN.... doesn't the VGA plug offer R,G,B + composite sync if you get one of those breakthrough cables.. ?

this is a standard 120v unit..

looks like it would work to me, but youre gonna have to get a power inverter to plug in that DVD unit since its not 12volt. still need the relay to switch between navi and dvd though.

Youre going to need one of these :4PDT relay with 12VDC coil, about $10.

btw, anybody know where to get one of those relays? and the socket he used for the relay in that thread too? think i can get the relay but that socket is a challenge.

Kabrera,

The type of signals the navigation screen needs are analog R,G,B and composite sync. I know a VGA will plug will not output a composite sync. signal and I think the R,G,B are digital (TTL) signaling.

Did anyone find out where you can get the relay and the socket?

Radio shack sells a 4PDT relay with 12vdc coil http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...Fid=275%2D214. They also had a socket for this relay with soldier type terminals, not screw terminals.

The link does not work for some reason

The relay is part # 275-214

spaniola

is this the right socket?

#: 275-220

Nope, This is a socket for double pole - you need a 4 pole socket OR no socket if you are careful with soldiering directly to the relay pins.

man i am having a really hard time finding the socket, could someone help me out please?
