Blueprint Stunner Member 25 Member For: 21y 11m 24d Posted 07/02/04 10:30 AM Share Posted 07/02/04 10:30 AM Hi guys, I need help in connecting an Xbox to the ICC. I have taken the dash apart to get to the aux video connector. I have modded the Xbox and set it to NTSC mode. All I need to know is which lead I need to connect the xbox to the Aux Video connector. Does anybody have a picture of this or can describe for me what I need? Also if anybody has a step by step doco I would appreciate it if you could send me a hyperlink. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people on here have already done it but I don't quite understand how they managed to plug it into the ICC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me it would cost about $1000 to DIY!!SO yeh, as you are finding out, you cant plug it into the screen, because you need some type of adapter which doesnt come cheap!!You also need the thing that holds a proper ntsc transmission or sumthin!! lol, I dont really understand, PM aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVD player was $999 of this. The Blaupunkt BA interface and signal converter cost $500 of this. That said, I don't think Blaupunkt sell the ba interface and signal convertor (BTW the signal convertor has 5 inputs and 5 outputs, 1x RGB and 4x composite input/outputs, pluss 4 stereo inputs and 4 stereo outputs) by themselves. They only sell it in combination with a Blaupunkt DVD Player. Edited 07/02/04 11:27 PM by KrasH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronmihe Upstanding Member Member 759 Member For: 21y 2m 23d Location: Canberra - ACT Posted 08/02/04 03:06 AM Share Posted 08/02/04 03:06 AM $1000 for DIY to replicate the Blau setup using an Xbox. So $700 less than Blau and a lot of your own creativity.I have the Xbox to ICC cable made and tested. It works. I'm currently designing a 12v powersupply for the xbox and playing with some integration ideas.To quickly answer the question posed above.You need a ICC AUX video plug (about $2 from your local wrecker)An Xbox Euro SCART RGB leadA modded Xbox that'll output NTSC to that same connector. Then just arc up the box, set the correct screen resolution and plug in the hybrid cable you make using the above two and all the information found in the formods.com forum thread.A.

As I'm on a very limited budget and have got costs coming out the wazzoo this is all taking a back seat A.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercturbo Member 696 Member For: 21y 8m 10d Location: Geelong Posted 08/02/04 04:21 AM Share Posted 08/02/04 04:21 AM Thanks Aron, are you saying potentially, an xbox, playing into the icc screen, with dvd's or games, including a power supply would total around $1000, further add a rear 7" roof screen or two seat screens for another say $800, and you could be off and running for approx $1800? I believe there would be many people interested in this, thanks again for your good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
