hey great idea, one thing I want to ask u is, if hte box is placed in the boot how can u change the channels do u have to point the control towards the box or the screen?

The trick is to tap into the ICC infrared receiver (it is located on the upper part of the ICC screen surround). This will then need to be fed straight into the Dig TV box and viola! no need to point at the boot!! :lol:

This should not be to difficult. I will let you know how I go.

The most important thing about getting a different digital decoder is it MUST output NTSC or it will not work on the T's ICC. In Australia we use the PAL system, this is not compatible witht he T's ICC.

cutsnake, great job.

Can you let us know have you connected up the digital box?

Did you use the scart?

Whick connections do you use?

What did you use to connect to the ICC?

Any other info to connect this up?

What type of amplified antenna are you using?

Thanks and great work!

Hmmm....that wouldn't be fair on a few other forum members who have already done alot of the prework in figuring out the ICC connector pin-outs ans Aux Audio inputs (e.g. Aaron)

As I am still playing, so will post details as I go along...

Thanks for the comments...

Answers to your Q's..

- Yes I am using a SCART connector for this (RGB SCART out of the Dig Box)

- I do not have access to a proper ICC connector, so I used speaker terminals pushed directly into the ICC socket.

- I am doing a basic write-up. I will post shortly.

- I am using an old Amplified Indoor TV antenna (from Tandy I think?). This has been removed from its housing as the bits I need are way smaller than the overral antenna. The antenna is the tricky part to setup for proper reception..

As I mentioned above, I am doing a basic write-up for this. This is not necessarily step by step instructions, but enough info (together with what others have posted)to get your in car TV going.

In the mean time, feel free to post other Q's / comments.
