OK then, yes my car has the camera, and that white connector on the board you are referring to is plugged in on mine. The only reason I'm thinking not to run a splice from that particular connector is that on mine I'll only get input from it if the car is in reverse. I'm not sure yet where that switch is made. Whereas the TV one works all the time. IT Doc, do you have to press the TV button on the front to see your MP3 player? When does it work?

Like I said haven't had time to play as yet, so we'll figure it out together soon.

Very interested in knowing what that other unplugged cable is for. I may ask the US guys if that is the sirius connector or if they have it at all.

After consider the plugs, maybe VTR- is for the reverse gears signal????

otherwise will not make sense:)

Ok complete speculation following:-

The way I see it you have 2 inputs to that box:-

* AV1 - The big grey connector - also feeds back to the screen, does something with that little box under the dash,

* AV2 - The 6 pin white connector

AV1 is default and when AV2 gets it's circuit completed it switches over for as long as it receives that earth.

What this means in my head...

I can tell you that as soon as I hit reverse gear, the system switches over to the remote camera and nothing else can be used on the screen and buttons(except for the display settings). i.e. it overrides everything. This would mean that unless you wired in a switch as well, you would only see input from AV2 always.

This is why I'm thinking its not a good idea to run a split off that connector as I wouldn't want to lose any of the other functions of the screen. Please tell me I am not correct as this would be a great solution.

Whereas if you split AV1, you would still get all the other functions and only see your AUX input when you press the TV button.

I pulled waz32's one out this morn and it has an extra plug on it for AVin. his has a camera though and I'm not entirely sure if the soluiton you are chasing will work if you have a camera on board. if you do have one can you pull the clarion module out and post the part number of it. I didn't get it this morn.

first thing monday I'm making a phone call to a mate of mine in MLB to source that plug. if I can find it then I'll make up a plug and play solution for you.

any interest in this idea??

hey chris

i was thinking, if we can wire in 2 inputs through the one AV in and have a switch to ocntrol it

so default its on the AVin source (eg DVD/TV)

then have the camera on a switch controller by a relay that siwtches on when getting power from the reversing lights

thus the camera is switched to when the car is put in reverse

what do you think? is it possible?

the thought I had was this:

most of the DVD units I use have a REM OUT so that can fire the CTL input on the tv unit. teh reverse lights would take priority so that part still worked. if you have that clarion box handy fire me the part number (or the ENTIRE tag) so I can do a bit of digging :) I'm thinking it MAY do the switching internally in your case. in hindsight I probably should have kept it.

Chris, what does this do and how does it fit into the system?

got a clear hires shot of that. also of where does it go in?

if its waht I 'think' it is you should be able to pull it out and the TV will only work with the car stationary.

It was stuck up where the glovebox is and I pulled it out about 4 months ago to do some research and never noticed any difference in operation. The number on the side is ATV-62. I have it sitting on my desk at work so I'll take some more photo's next week.

I checked though and yes the TV screen with static comes on only when the car is in Park. Otherwise i can hear the sound but I get another screen in japanese(which probably says the car needs to be stopped). Can't remember if it did that before.

No shit. Cool! I already tried prying it apart, but it's resined tight :)

Sorry, find your own guys!

I'll have to do a bit more digging (for arguments sake.) but it would drop the speed sig and handbrake signal off the TV unit. found a few similar items in toyota imports (surf especially.)

I have something similar but I found another wire heading of in the direction of the steering wheel, I fished around behind the panels and a small push button fell out when I pressed I found out it allowed me to get video signal whilst I was driving. Have a look you may find you have a similar switch mine was obviously tucked away for compliance.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
