Where did you run your wires!!!

Post by Timh » Fri Nov 19, 2010 6:35 pm

Hi guys

Just got my rear DVD screens from eBay...same ones as others on here with the zipper cover.

Can I ask where you all took the power supplies from and also did you run all the phono cables into the boot area and connect it up there.I have ordered the tv in motion lead and an av lead from toys in your car but have not received it yet. I would like the front screen to play what the rear screens are playing. Did you all run a switched positive for the DVD screens?

Thanks for your help

TIM

Hi Tim most of the cables for mine are in/under the centre console (the bulky in line fuses etc) and i also got an earth from a bolt under there.The rest i ran from the passenger seat down and along the kick trim that goes along the cill of the door(the trims pop out with a bit of elbow grease and flat headed drivers)and then up and under the back seat in the corner.IIRC there's a hole big enough in the corner to get them through and in to the boot.
I used the av lead from TIYC like you and that let me get sound and view the picture on the front screen aswell via the av chanel.
I got an ignition live from the radio control module in the boot (purple wire iirc)
and as for the tv in motion i activated mine using a resler and navcoder where abouts are you? perhaps you could get someone to do this and save a few quid on the tv in motion lead.
HTH in some way.
