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

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
