Already Began Planning :)

[markdc]

Hi,

im new here but have read almost all the posts in this section as I am buying my dads BA MkII xr6 off him in 8 months when his work lease finishes and am really excited might I add

it will be my second car with my first being a telstar TX5 in which I learnt alot about installing car audio

I want to begin by installing a premium ICC and then getting the piano black facia (hopefully)

then I am hoping to install a dvd headunit in the tissue box holder space and run an amp and my speakers straight from the head bypassing the ICC, I know that this means I will lose my steering wheel controls but id rather lose that in favour of better quality audio, am I right is saying this is the case?

the bit I am curious about is wether or not I will be able to output a video signal to the ICC so I can watch the dvd on the screen and the audio comes out of the head and through my stereo? has anyone tried this?

also I was wondering how good the quality of the screen is for watching dvds? I know it wont be crystal clear but is it watchable?

thanks in advance guys

p.s this forum is wicked so much useful information on basically everything xr6

The picture quality on mine is great

yes u can have a good picture on the ICC with the audio from the DVD player to speakers .

Yes the ICC is not that bad for watching dvds on

the ICC upgrade is costly to get/do

a converter is used to change the signal into a format the ICC screen can display

I best converter I have found and used the the ASL one , it comes with a birghtness control

and looks the better than the other cheaper ones around.

if your planning on doing this id recommend u have a chat with ASL and see what they can do for you

ASL can mod your ICC to have RCA preouts and amp remote on that gives good quality and lets u keep

it all nice and intergrated , so keeps the wheel controls

I would look at that if your upgrading the ICC and facia anyway

(god this sounds like a plug for ASL, but there gear is good and worth the value)

Yeah I have been looking at asl's products, not cheap haha but I want the premium screen and would prefer it over having a DVD headunit with screen in the tissue space, is the quality of the audio different to just straight from a headunit if I get the Icc modded for rcas and also how would the audio get inputted Into the icc from the deck via an aid cable from where?

hey dude went to asl there a forum sponsor. they fited my jvc dvd head unit for me and added an there rgb kit which, makes the picture come up on the premium sound icc screen. I also asked them to run two sets of rca's in which I instaled my mono block and amp. they did a top job and couldnt recomend them any more!!

icc has an aux input u feed the RCA output from the DVD player too.

with the ICC modded with the RCA output , the audio quality will be about the same

the problem with the ICC stock is the Audio IC that drives the system is not of that great quality

by getting the RCAS fitted u by-pass this completly so sound is great !
