Hi all,

Just wondering the best way to wire up a portable media player I have. It is basically a 2.5" enclosure with an AV output and requires 5V DC.

So is there a power rail or wire off the current deck that has 5V that I can run off or should I run a seperate wire, and if so how and where? :D

I will eventually make up some sort of bracket to mount this thing into but I'd like to get it going for now as quick as I can.

All your help would be greatly appreciated!!

You will have to splice a power converter in, as I would imagine that there would not be any 5V power source there...

You might be able to use a Mobile Phone travel plug (12V to 5V) but it might take a while to find one the right amperage.

Why do you want to do this?

You might need some professional help to achieve a 'safe' result.

Chris Rogers sells an adapter plug that plugs into the TV unit that gives RCA plugs plus it also comes with a plug for the back of the stereo (v35 + M35 bose and non Bose 6 disc double din unit). The piece that plugs into the back of the head unit has a power supply. Not sure of the voltage, but i am sure Chris could answer this.

I use this plug to run my I pod through the AUX/2 of the TV unit and it also alows me to charge the Ipod.

Cheers

Actually I did buy that kit off you Chris, would that be sufficient to power this? the power adaptor that comes with the player says output +5V 2.6A. It's a Japanese power adaptor and therefor requires an AUS adaptor with it.

ok I cna make something for it. take a BIG photo of the adapter including any text that is on it. they usually give polarity of the plug. also have a ruler handy and give me the dimensions of the plug that goes into your player.

the harness I sent you will take a 10A feed easily.

Ok here we go:

plug is 4mm thick, just under 9mm long and diameter of hole is about 1.5mm.

let me know if you need anything else :P

Appreciated Chris!

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
