Has Anyone Ever Had Their Tv Working In There Altezza

[mAltezza]

If you have, how did you do it?

[garethr]

I don't own an Altezza, but if I did I'd probably search the web for "drive and view".

[BernardTamHK]

what do you mean? You need to be specific here, do you mean:

1) the power is not on?

2) the power is on, but the screen is black?

3) the power is on, but the screen shows another color but blank?

if you are asking about getting "tv" reception, then its not supposed to.

You cannot play dvd on it, unless you have modded the tv itself.

i mean getting "tv" reception, the most iv got before is a few voices on ch1 but screen still fuzzy,

Hi Taz,

Is it easy to bypass the tuner and use a dvd player? I plan on removing the standard hu with an after market, so i would have a spare slot to stick a dvd player into.

wel i actually use mine through the standard head unit it works like tv would press TV button screen folds out on its own and it plays sound from normal speaker this solves EER3 problem if u have it

just use dvd player 2 play cds mp3 etc

the main cost of this is dvd player (mine cost £60)

but i wouldnt know how to work dvd with screen if you remove standard hu

Are you using th GPS screen to watch the dvds? The factory one that pops up from the dash?

So if i leave in the standard HU, how do i hook up a dvd player to it?

cool taz thanks for the help, you da man!!

[mAltezza]

Thats perfect mate if you could take sum pic that would be great, :D

Now another thing, i no its been asked here before a few times, but where can a get the sat nav box that goes in the boot, that changes it to english instead of Jap, i keep trying eBay but still havent found anything,

Thanks

[taz_no1]

do all yo guys know were the tv tuner is

If not its located in the boot on nearside post bolted to the side

it has 4 wiring plugs attached and 1 un used

out of the the 4 you will need to modify 2 of them

1 for sound(inputs to H U)

2 for picture

after doing this tv tuner will no longer work (u will get no fuzzy picture or sound from it)

[taz_no1]

this is my tv tuner

I cant find minein the boot. Now before i go pulling off the lining carpet on my boot, it should be on the passengers side of the boot behind the boot lining? My sat nav unit is located on the right,its not built into this??

[mAltezza]

is your boot like mine, http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3482795

[taz_no1]

yes my nav computer is same

but tv tuner is on opposite side behind boot lining

above rear strut mounted on side

[taz_no1]

i tried takin pics but came out cr*p

but i found the pics that helped me

1st where the tuners at

http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3489923

2nd for sound input

http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3489922

wires need to be cut and connected to wiring block not tv tuner

ok so found the tv tuner, heres a pic of the tuner wired in:

Heres the cables:

So can you explain how i get a dvd player hooked up to the existing wiring?

[taz_no1]

lookin at ur pictures ur wiring is diferent 2 mine

because i have a module between oem wiring block and oem tv tuner

in this case i can try 2 work u thru it but no promises

if u look at YOUR tv tuner pic it has a wiring block with 12 wires

on that block the first 4 wires from left are sound inputs

http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3489922]

[taz_no1]

once u connect your wiring to these 4 wires this will work as aux inputs but you will only here when you use TV button on your head unit.

then u need a video input which is were it gets complicated because u aint got enough wires mine on the second wiring block on tv tuner.

mine has 5 wires yours only has 4 of which 1 is cut

i have wired video -ve to wire 3 without chopin its conection with tuner (which u dont have)

i have wired video +ve to wire 5(urs is green) by chopin connection with tuner and conecting it direct to video +ve.

i will have a play about with mine and try to work out a solution for you(on weekend).

i have my DVD player mounted in glove box(if u find a bettter place to mount please let me know)

it works like MAGIC

[IRLRs200]

Cool i have another look at my wiring and try to figure that out. Are your speakers amplified with an external amp, located behind the glove box? Not all models have them. This could explain the difference between wiring schemes.

no m8 mine dont have amp its 1 without

but i dont think that should matter the sound wire from tv tuner should be same

the only differnce in my opinion is my tv tuner has a converter betwee wiring but some one has converted yours coz on the second wirin block which is different mine only has 4 wires before converter

Ok so how does your dvd player get its power?

Are the cables from the dvd player RCA output?

So i should get an RCA lead going from the dvd player, chop off the plugs at one end and wire them into the block that i disconnected the tv tuner from, they way you described above.
