Inexpensive AV modification
Hi all,
This has been discussed on a number of threads and I’m not trying to re-invent the wheel here, just thought I’d put everything in one place for future reference. I acknowledge the majority of the procedures are not my own invention and credit is due to the forum members who have posted contributions in a number of threads. The pictures are all from my installation (unless otherwise acknowledged) on a UK spec MY 08 HSE, but item locations and/or fixings may vary depending on spec.
Please note that I am simply an enthusiast, with no training at all in electrical or mechanical engineering and some of the methods and processes I have used may not be best practice by a long shot .
The document has been proofread a couple of times, but I would welcome any comments for the next draft...

But thanks to you investing your free time, a lot more people are going to be motivated to do things which would otherwise appear difficult....

Yeah, that was distracting for me too when I re-read it but better safe than sorry I guess

So all the screens have the venture and reverse cam input. Presumably its possible to buy the parts and with help from a magic box (Wiggs?) get them working. I assume also he could enable the aux input properly so you don't have to use the diagnostics screens.
Nice tutorial!

Hi mack,
not to date on all counts (enabling the inputs by buying the parts), but "knowing" (virtually) the tech guys on here it shouldn't be long I would guess...

Biz,
This is a great write up and very helpful.
You can see why I organised the group buy of ready made SMB RCA leads now!

Thanks all
John, yes, shame I had just missed the first lot when I got into the mod, wouldn't have gone down the DIY road but at least I gained the experience of making it

One thing I would mention is that on my '05 MY HSE, the wires for the audio connection were red, blue and white not red blue and black. They represented the same though - red = left channel, blue = right channel and white = ground.
