Hey Guys,

ive been through a number of the threads already in search of some help with the rgb converter. I have come to a conclusion but I would like to really pin point what info I need to start installing my carputer again to the icc. can some one please assist with the questions below,

- im most likely going to use the vga to cga rgb converter, I know some of the guys here are using this type. can some one assist with the wiring. a quick wiring diagram will be awesome

- would a standard vga pci card run the factory icc screen, I have read you need a arcade vga. can some one help with this even a link will be good.

Some video cards are able to run the screen with the assistance of power strip but because the screen hz isnt a standard sort of number in regards to pc monitors not all gfx cards can supply the correct signal, so arcade vga is your best bet or the RGB to CGA convertor

Im currently using the RGB to CGA Convertor out of my asus eeebox as for the wiring diagram I followed the info on this page

Carputer for the Ford's Premium ICC

the diagram is for hooking it straight up to your gfx card but the pins are labled so you can work it out for the RGB convertor cable as they are labelled in the manual and also colour coded

yeah it doesn't, but it dose label all the pins on the car's plug and your convertor should have came with a manual labelling its pins? it' also labelled on the PCB anyway thou
