Hey guys. I have been wanting to ask the forum members this question for awhile now. A member (Kharizma) was able to play video with the stock navigation screen (low-res; I know). I asked him about it. However, he did not know exactly how it was done; a shop did it for him.

What I am asking is: does anyone know which wire is the video wire (to splice into, bychance) of the system? Also, does anyone have a schematic of the 98-00 GS400 navigation system, bychance?

Thanks!

You need a composite video to RGB convertor to do that. I have one from avelectronics on my nav screen. Nowadays there's a few companies that make these devices for OEM navs.

I think this thread will be useful for the 98-00 guys with navigation. How much was the unit?

Also, how is the audio supplied to the speakers? Do you have to splice into the stock amplifier? Thanks so much for your reply.

EDIT: Never mind. I just looked at the link below. The converter is plug and play (I'm assuming). So the sound is also routed with the provided wiring harness to the stock speakers.

They tell you to call for pricing. It must be expensive, huh?

The units cost around 500. The sound you need to do something else because this is only for the video part.

You can either use a cassette adaptor, fm modulator, or the best one is an aux in mod via your cd changer.
