This may be one of those Ford QA things, maybe some cars get tham and others don't!ill be buggered if I can ge that white connecter to come out!!! I have tried everything!!! it seems to be stuck there permanatly!!! I dont wanna pull on it too hard just incase I rip the wiring completly out!!! oh well, ill have to try again when I get home from work I had trouble getting mine free, in the end I think I actually broke the mounting lug off to get it free.

HUSTLER Member 663 Member For: 21y 6m 17d Location: Broken Hill Posted 08/12/04 11:15 PM Share Posted 08/12/04 11:15 PM Just a quick query question?? If I hook the STB straight up to the 12V via a 2mm plug, then how does it control the AMP's that go into the STB?? Wouldnt it put through more than the max 1.4 amp that the power pack puts though?

This allows you to plug teh DVD player into the ICC. I assume also the the Blau DVD player is a PAL device or doesnt output NTSC RGB signal.So I just got off teh phone with Max power regarding his questions as well and think it is wise to add the following in brief.1. STB needs to be able to provide a NTSC RGB signal. If it cant do this then it wont work if you want to plug straight into the Ford ICC LCD screen.2. If you have the Blau signal box then any STB will run into the blau unit. as long as it meets the point 3 rule.3. The STB needs to have power the TEAC DV-B400 runs on 12V but if you want to use one that doesnt then no big problem you just need to also get a power invertor to provide 240V in your car. This also adds to cost but its your money.4. Antenna - this is where we are all currently experimenting. I am using a VHF vertical whip that I use for my amatuer radio. It is working very well an I also intend on placing a signal amplifier in there as well when I get around to it. But you can read here what others have done etc.So that's it. Not much is known about other STB's as we dont have them. I have the DV-B400 and it works plugging it into the ICC directly. If you wanna try something else then it is You who is tryign it as long as it meets all the points 1 - 3 then it will work.Hope this answers more questions than it generates.Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
