No it wont force the screen

If your in tv mode on the screen you wont need to press anything. Shorting the C1 to ground does the same thing as pressing the TV button on the dash. You will need the C1 and relay if you want it fully automated. I just leave mine in TV mode

So is this pretty much the same for v35?

And say if i am using the rca input in the tuner for dvd player or mp3 player, how do I connect the camera rca cable so that it will come up when its on reverse gear and other device to be playing in any other gear. How do I put a relay switch to achive this?

I am a noob when it comes to these things so any info would be helpful.

Thanks

Yes, V35 is the same.

Use reverse lights to activate the relay.

Break the yellow video cable & switch those wires (may need double pole relay) between reverse cam & dvd player - the common side goes into the TV tuner.

Sound will play as usual with just the video switching away from dvd & displaying reverse camera whilever reverse lights are on. Easy :)

^^ Thanks Leon,

Just to make it clear for my self, I could use a relay like in this attachment?

And use left hand side to go to the tv tuner and other 2 connected camera and the aux in. ?

Any idea how to do the motion bypass?

And do you still have those aux in leads up for sale?

Thanks

You may need one like this so you can separate the inner & outer conductors. Just keep them as short as possible so the shielding is still effective.

I used another relay (also switched by reverse lights) to put an earth on terminal C1 in the tuner. It doesn't matter what is displayed on the screen, it will force it over to display the reverse camera & then switch back again when finished. (I suppose if you could find a triple throw relay you could do everything with the one device.)

To bypass the in-motion cut out, I extended another wire from C1 to earth via a switch at the front. When operated (& not in reverse) you use your remote to watch TV or switch to DVD, playstation or whatever is on your aux input.

The Xanavi guys say that it can be done in the programming. So if you haven't done the English conversion (& were intending to have it done), you could ask them about it

I don't have any leads made up, but can make one if you want. They're pretty straight forward if you have an old computer lying around.

Cheers, Leon.

thanks a lot leon..just a one more question.. In your diagram, shouldn't it be inner and outer dvd in the place of inner and outer camera because I want aux input to run by default and camera to be on by the reverse light?

I ll give it a go and see when i get my reverse camera .. :)

Let's say that pic is when car is in reverse & the relay has operated. In normal condition the switches will be down so DVD is sent thru to tuner.

yep got it.. Thanks leon.. will give it a go.. How big a relay should i use (voltage/current wise)?

So when u earth cont1, that does the motion bypass? when you do it this way do we loose all OEM functions related to motion/distance?? like the mileage or fuel consumption?

On a similar note, is there a wire down under the dash for reverse? Maybe on the TCM?

My head unit has a dedicated reverse input and a wire to switch, and I don't really want to run the wire down to the tailgate...

Just a small panel mount one will do. Jaycar sell plenty for <$10. Like this one for $4.95: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SY4061

Earthing C1 only locks the screen to the tuner Aux input. The fuel consumption info is still happening in the background & is viewable as soon as you remove the earth.

Yeah, that would be easier for you - if you already have the camera cabled. (See, I would have run the wire from the back at the same time as putting in the camera :) )

You could always look in the A/T manual... Tell you what; you get the package for me in the post & I'll give you the answer, lol.

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.

      how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather.

      Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.

      Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
