So i got my new car (BA xr8) with the premium sound etc etc, first thing was to try and make this VGA video connection. After following the techo document i made the cable (cost me $5 and half hour, which works a treat), then frigged around with a horizontal and vertical to composite sync circuit which i found on the net to get a clear picture. useless as far as my attempts go....

All you need is a program called PowerStrip (along with the techo document cable), i used version 3.74. the attached pic is a screenshot of the settings you need for it to work. i will post up 2moro a pic of my screen playing video from a laptop output.

yes it was parked with the handbrake on and not in traffic.


The ICC is good but the audio side leaves a lot to be desired. Whine through the audio is highly annoying even with the amplified kit.

For anyone doing a car computer. You can also use an ARCADEvga video card that runs the native res of the ICC in NTSC.

I will take pics tommorow for you. I am working on one for the XBOX 360 its much easier because you can get the high def VGA output and run it straight in.
