Video / Audio input
What we need to connect Mirabox to OEM navigation and audio systems.
The first thing is CVBS to RGBS converter. I used DIY converter. Author of this project have used the same converter on audi (VAG group), so I suppose converter for VW from aliexpress should works fine on our LS:

Or you can use dedicated navtool but price is four times bigger.

The next thing is audio and video signal switcher (if you have navtool you will only need audi switcher). I have separate switches for audio and video, but it could be made by one switch.
I have used four relays for audio and four relays for video. I have DIY relays modules, but you can buy similar modules on aliexpress for couple of dollars:

If you don`t want to find wires on armrest you can use remote to steering those relays modules. Example:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-T...d-2ca2dc950b0a
Or one channel to steering both at the same time:

The last thing is mirabox:

Total cost with VW CVBS converter will be about:
49$ converter
63$ Mirabox
3x7$ relays and remote modules
49+63+21=133$
If anyone will be interested, I will provide wiring schematics. I think, that it could be done without hurry in one day.

Could you please post up the circuit and car wiring info you have so I can begin to plan this for my own LS430 ?
Many thanks

Unsure if the OP still monitors this forum, but I'll be using this as basis to install an aftermarket RGB backup camera. Does anyone know if the ML system will auto switch to the "interrupted" nav screen when it senses it interrupted and changed to the backup cam feed? Or is there another "source" signal wire to tap into on the ML?
Current plan is to use:
A RGBS to CVBS converter
Cheap RGB backup camera
4x relay board for CVBS signal interrupt of the navigation unit
Basically I'm too cheap to buy a NavTool and will be building my own. Any insight from people that have done this? If it works well, I may look into expanding with a miracast.
