Hi all,

I've recently aquired a Legnum which came from Japan with a Pioneer Carrozzeria AVX-P55 screen. I have tried contacting Pioneer Aust, Japan and US with no helpful responses from anyone. I am trying to determine what the input is to the screen, whether it is AV, RGB etc?!

My intention is to purchase a Pioneer DVH P5950 head unit (or similar) which will play DVD's with an AV output inputting to the Screen. I haven't been able to get the screen out yet, but have these photos from a Japanese Auction showing the connections - so can someone please tell me, is the yellow plug AV (compatable with new HU) or is it RGB and im going to have to buy a format converter?

Cheers

Lee

I think the RGB stuff you're talking about is component cables

What you have there, is the standard AV style... Video, left and right audio, better known as RCA

probably a 50Hz screen too... which means nothing to you :D

so you're answer is, RCA! It will be one (probably) 50Hz Video cable... so umm yeah, no converter necessary...

I figure 50Hz would be the refresh rate of the screen, so if it is indeed RCA, I should be able to hook up my home DVD player in the shed to ensure the input is correct yes? As long as DVD player has NTSC selectable output?

I just dont want to pay $400+ for a head unit that doesn't play anything to my screen

Cheers for the help Dr :D

yeah it should be fine... if you put a 60Hz image through it will come out black and white though ;)

However, why NTSC? If the legnum was imported from Asia, it will be PAL...

Either that or I am confused :D

Good luck! :( Lemme know if you need any more help!

Well I got the dash facia off on the weekend, and sure enough NTSC output on my Digi Camera output to the screen beautifly!!

Now I need a new head unit so looking at these options: Im just looking for something faily basic to make use of the screen I have - No intentions of subs/amps/car theatre type setups.

this magic box you speak of... an addition to the setup or a special dvd head unit of its own?

If an addition, how big is it etc? thanks :D

nope.

if you are looking for a magic box - prepare to pay for it. they are available ($400.) - more info - ask me.

its in addition and about the size/thickness of a small book. after you have it you can put wahtever DVD unit in. it wont matter.

TV Tuner I was looking at will recieve the PAL signal and output NTSC, so was putting NTSC into the H/U, and NTSC to the screen.

Chris - Can you please recommend me a H/U that has AV line in? seems all of the HU's I posted above DONT have a rear AV input :thumbsup:

so where does it go? behind the scenes, or do you need to make room for it on the facade/dash/console whatever you wanna call it?

thanks

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
