Thanks alot phil you are a life saver, on the white plug ther should be four wires, grey, white , black and red can you tell me what order they go.

i do miss my Nova i am thinking of starting again and building a Turbo.

My wiring was burried in the dash, so I couldnt check, but I spoke to Eddy directly, he says

the grey cable has 2 wires, one balck and one white
white is the centre connector on a phono, black is the outer one

as you might remeber, you have to strip down a phono cable.

the other 2 are power cables, im sure you can work it out.

Slim; no these are not stolen, they are designed for TV racks, like an OB van would use. Or for factory fitted options.

they were meant to be fitted to Ford Galaxy's, but Ford changed their mind and went for widescreen units instead. these were sold off cheap.

thanks for yor help phil, i cant work out what is what on the plug though cause even if you do power the screen it doesnt come up until it have a signal from the av in, so you have to get all 4 wires in the right please for it to come on, i just need to know the order of the wires.

cant bloody remember.

strip a phono cable that outputs from your in car device

the white and black on the right connect to the screen as detailed

the other 2, red is +ve, and black is -ve power supply



the screen will power on for 5 secs with out a video supply

if you look at the picture below i have drawn four wires on the screen...but they are not it the right oreder i need to know the correct order....i dont have the original plug that come with the screen.

One other thing i also left the other plug in my car that had the contrast and brightness on do this need to be connected for the screen to work.
