Reversing camera input into RNS-D
 
Okay, second question, thank you for your bluetooth music streaming suggestions.

So I would like a reversing camera to output to the defunct analogue TV tuner like many of you have. However I can't find a suitable way to actually input this in to the RNS-D tuner?

Okay, now remember I'm thick on such things but what connector is needed to make this happen?! Do such mystical things exist?!

They exist, I use one BUT it depends what you have installed now.
Vital question, do you have a TV tuner installed or not?

(For reference my car DID NOT have a tuner and I didn't want to add one to get the interface)

If you already have a tuner it's a pretty standard CVBS RCA input.

Thanks HP, yes, I do have the analogue TV tuner on my RNS-D. Would you mind giving me a link to what I would actually need?! I'm pretty dumb about this stuff! :)

There are two types of TV tuner, with different connectors. Check which one you have first.

The older type had direct individual socket inputs as I mentioned above, sorry but I forgot about the later version described by Sean. :o

Thanks Sean and HP, that's really useful!

Mine is Sept 2002 reg so without checking the VIN I'm pretty sure it's a TV Tuner B version.

That being the case, can someone provide a link to the required input cable please?! I'm bad enough with car mechanicals, car electrics really are beyond me!

There are things that I am rather good at, this isn't one of them! :)

Thanks Sean! Good on you sir!

When it's all done I will post up some piccys to share what I went for in the end. Having this car has turned me into a child again, yay!

Where are you going to mount the camera?

Davey Blueeyes 12th July 2018 02:47 PM

Hmm, dunno yet. I'll be back to you with that soon!

I'm still deciding whether to hide the bluetooth device or not? Or a subtle place out of the way? I'm wondering will I actually want to see what's on it and if I hide it too well I might not be able to change the batteries! :)
