Video Connections on Head Unit and SSD

27kgcm · 20-05-2013 08:14pm

I have recently taken delivery of an Evoque with Tech Pack. I have looked at the connections on the back of the head unit and I have found 1 blue Socket unconnected and 3 Fakra type connectors on the back, 1 pink, 1 green and 1 brown unconnected, there is one connected Fakra which I assume comes from the DVD.

Can anyone advise what each of these connectors is for, I assume one is for a reversing camera and one a Video out, but I was hoping that one was a video in.

I have connected a video in motion box and placed pin 1 to on, thinking the system would be looking for a signal in, as pin 1 brings up both TV options and reverse camera options on the screens.

I have tried connecting both PAL and NTSC signals to all 3 Fakra's and have not been able to see anything on the screen, I have tried most combinations, but wonder if it's either not possible, or I am missing something.

Its only for the daughter to watch programs down loaded on Iplayer.

If it cannot be done, its not a major issue as I have connected a 60GB OCZ SSD (FAT32 formatted) and I have created one folder for music and one for films, I am surprised at how fast the drive is and how quickly it picks up the songs when I get back into the car.

Any help would be great.

Thanks for the links, I now understand it needs to be a NTSC signal, however, I am trying to input a video signal which will appear on the evoque screen, rather than mirroring the evoque screen as shown on the link. I think I may need more than just a lead and may have to have some sort of can-bus option as the after market units work via the NAV button, which without some other input would not recognise the signal. More importantly I really would like to know what the Fakra connections on the back are for, then at least I know i'm experimenting with the correct connection rather than repeating each one 3 times....so if anyone can assist would be very happy. Which one did you connect into Doug for video out?
