The Facebook thread where I saw that cable mentioned: / 1558163567550372
For those Elgrands not specced with an RCA input by the rear seats, it seems there's a spare socket on the TV tuner that you can use to get an auxiliary input to the OEM stereo. This video describes the process.
Note that doing this obviously relies on the TV not turning off when you drive. Mine stays on while driving but I understand this isn't the standard behaviour, so it seems someone may have fitted a bypass at some point. (Although if they did, I have not idea where it is!)
Thanks very much Paul. I have a S1 E51 without the Aux input. I didn't want to spend a cent or cut a hole in the dash. After watching your movie, I had a look at the TV box and found an Aux cable plugged in, but no visible RCA plugs to be found. Upon following the cable, I found an aftermarket Jap Digi TV converter stashed behind the the driver stepwell cover - WOW! With the spare extra long power wires stashed in the dash for "the next guy" (me), now have all local radio stations via a radio with RCA out I already had, now mounted between the front seats.
Beautifully eloquent; do more presenting gigs…soothing and pleasing to listen to you…and a great installation guide!
This is great, I prefer this solution to the hdmi box as I just want to listen to audio great video :)
My cable arrived to New Zealand from Japan in 4 days and it works perfectly! Thanks so much for this video!
Interesting option. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent solution!
good job also you fit carplay
Hi, I've got a series 3 2008.
Have the RCA input spec through the wall in the same section you have. Though the line doesn't seem to be working as when I press aux it has tv and the other option shows a blue message square with Japanese saying no display E202.
any guesses what could be up?
I might have to take a look behind the trim and see if it's connected or what.
Awesome. That actually helps a lot thanks. If I do that to use apple csr play, Is the main screen touch? Like some of the newer ones??
The main screen isn't touch, but if you search around online there are people who offer to fit touchscreen panels. For me personally though, I'm happy to just use the screen as-is (for the reversing camera, etc.), and have my phone mounted next to it for any 'smart' features I want (Google Maps navigation, etc.)
Do u do taxi service?
Hi mate, I got my rca cable but it's slightly big and can't be connected to the tv tuner. I got s3 2008.
My TV tuner is a TDV-3103V. Not sure if yours is a different model? It might well be as yours is a later Elgrand.
Mine is cy-tn0700aj 😮💨
@@Paul-yf9ym got the correct one now, but audio does not work. Only video.
Hi, bought an audio TV connector for the TDV-3103 box from amazon japan, quick turnround 4 days but £21, which isn't a problem but the plug does not fit.
Any chance you could forward part number please?
Neil
Is it bigger? Mine is bigger and can't fit too.
My TV tuner is a TDV-3103V. Not sure if the "V" makes a difference? I'm not sure of the part number of the adapter itself, if it even has one.
Mine is not fit either, but i bought a cable for toyota crown and it fits.
@@AbdusSalam-pj7db do you have the link for the one you bought? I have the same problem. Thanks!
@@brenta2473 hey mate, i bought it from my local audio radio shop here in Melbourne. Not from any website. Sorry.
Does it work while driving or only on parking gear?
Mine does yes, but not all will. If you check the description of this video there’s a little more info on this. 👍
Hi. What is the process of buying the lead from Japan? I've followed your link, but cannot log in to Amazon Japan.. Sorry followed the other link and found my answer. Thanks.
Yep, you have to register a new account on the Amazon Japan website. The account you have in your home country won't work.
Is there a button you can press to get back to fm radio without having to go through the steps to get in and out of TV program each time?
Oops found fm/am button so very simple. I've just used a simple aux Bluetooth transmitter which is Rechargeable. Works perfect.
