just want to see the picture of the back of stock navi
There isn't one single background, like the desktop on a PC. for example. There is the animated GIF that looks like burning planets tossed out of a red-lined toroid black hole at the beginning while the OS loads and there are several icon overlays for the AC vents, assorted text boxes and NAV screens. Each of which can be edited/changed individually (the animated GIF files are the most complex while the others are simple GIF files). So it can be done, but it does require some tinkering.hmm curious as well. Are you trying to put a pic of your choice on the background of the nav? Id like to know how to do that too
Some pics of the back of the unit. But this will not help with mounting as all the mounting brackets are on the sides.he prob meant picture of the the back of the stock navi
Instructions for *what*? How to post pics? How to take pics of the rear of the NAV?Are the instructions for that on the forum?
Hmmm... Let's find the orig pic and zoom in.Is that an S-video plug up there to the right of the fan??? It sure looks like one...
My Jedi senses are picking up huge amounts of sarcasm... Maybe it's me though, It's almost time to send out the W-2s.Hmmm... Let's find the orig pic and zoom in.
1. (OOPS! - Sorry, same filename, wrong picture.)
2. Looks to be the typical S-Video connector. I wonder what it does?
Are you referring to my comment "I wonder what it does?"?My Jedi senses are picking up huge amounts of sarcasm... Maybe it's me though,
Yes it was!Are you referring to my comment "I wonder what it does?"?
I was unaware that the "RS-232" connector, as you referred to it, was used for anything other than video. I also did not think that it would be an output... my bad. I'm not an "electronics" person. I was actually looking at the back of the MMCS for anything I would recognize as a video connection for an auxiliary input. I'm trying to figure out if I could wire a FLIR night vision system into the MMCS. I'm sure it can be done, but it may prove beyond my skills. I learn quickly though.My comment there is more related to discovering RS232 connectors on assorted equipment and making the mistake of thinking they're serial ports, which, as you know, is not always the case.
S-Video is not correct for 16:9 displays and the resolution of S-Video is higher than what the MMCS display can handle so some conversion would be needed in any case.
It certainly appears to be a S-Video "connector" but it might not be a S-Video input. It could be an output (iirc S-Video connectors are used for both directions?) or a test port. Who knows? I wonder if a new menu shows up when something live is connected.
I wonder if they have a S-Video signal tester / signal generator in the electronics lab? Otherwise I'll have to search for that decades-old S-Video connector that came with one of the camcorders.
The next time i feel like taking the dash apart for cleaning ...
My coworker here calls me Obi-Wan. Mostly because I seem to know what's going to happen before it does. The reality is that I have been working in HR for almost 15 years and have learned to accurately predict employee reactions to all sorts of conditions. Plus I'm well versed in all our systems and policies. Right now I'm getting ready for W-2 season.PS - I did not know you were a Jedi.
RS-232, aka DB-9, is generally used as a serial port and never as a video. The thing that looks the same size as a DB-9 but has 15 smaller pins (rather than the nine pins on a DB-9) is commonly called a high-density DB-15, which is commonly used for VGA-type (analog) video. I've found DB-9 connectors used for anything from fiber connection ports (Sun) to binary signal connectors (APC UPSs). One just can't tell anymore just by looking at it.I was unaware that the "RS-232" connector, as you referred to it, was used for anything other than video.
Ahh, makes more sense now. I've not posted much about dissecting the harddrive but I can type out a high-level overview from memory (I don't do step-by-step details):Looking for instructions on how to change the gif files as stated in your post
Ahhhhhh... So I need to do more research on this... OK, I can do that.RS-232, aka DB-9, is generally used as a serial port and never as a video.

Now I understand the W-2 reference. hehehe
Back-up camera connection goes here.My educated guess would be back-up cam.
Work for what? That is not a S-Video connector.you think this plug won't work
