  • Recommend me an AV input module for my RNS510

    Hi,
    Looking to buy myself an AV input module to allow me to watch video in (and sound) on my 510.

    I'd appreciate some recommendations from actual users

    Cheers

    Hi

    I am trying to do this. The problem is activate the AV input in RNS510, all the others is easy. The RNS510 has an RGB input so if you have a source with RGB output is a direct connection (I have an little home DVBT receiver that has RGB output so I only need to change the power input).
    I try to change the RNS510 firmware to put the AV flag always high and not vw tuner dependent but I need the firmware source.
    Other possibility is writing to can and say "I am the tv tuner and I am here", now I try to decode the can message...
    An excellent New Year

      Have a read on the "video in motion" hack for the RNS. Might be what you are after, can play limited formats from SD Card or from the HDD. That's all I know about it, but there is more info on here (might be under VIM too)

        AFAIK the RNS510 can't play video files from HDD or SD card. Only DVD. Video in Motion allows the video to keep playing when you speed is below 255kph instead of the default setting of ~7kph.

        There are a bunch of AV devices for the RNS510 on eBay if you search. It uses the same connection as the reversing camera, so you can't have both. I have a camera so I've never bothered with this.

            What might be the solution is to fit a switchbox in the RVC video circuit with several inputs into it and make the feed switchable similar to what I did with two rearview cameras. I realise the VW setup is a bit more complicated but could be worth a try

                  Yes should do the trick However I was thinking of a simpler cheaper solution like about $20 from Jaycar without all the electronic controls.

                  Whatever you want to pay I guess

                      Thanks all,
                      Reading between the lines/threads - no one has actually done this then?
                      I do have VIM.
                      I want an alternative video source option - ie a feed from my new in car dash cam and a feed from my ipad / iPhone.

                      I contacted GSM and no reply as yet....maybe still hung over??

                      I like the idea of the T-era unit and adding a av switch to allow more than one feed.

                      Next pay queue ill get the eBay T-era unit and let everyone know how it goes.

                      Cheers

                        You do realise of course that you can only legally watch this when stationary as only a satnav or Rear vision camera is legal to be observed from the drivers seat.

                        Technically I dont think the RVC is legal to watch when moving either although I had one when vanning.

                        Seems a lot of money for a restricted use item.

                        Maybe GSM observe holidays like lots of us.

                          I don't view the videos when driving, but my children do enjoy watching the screen if a cartoon is on.

                          Next pay day is still two weeks off, so GSM should have sobered up by then

                          It's not that expensive given my other hobbies are inexpensive and I use the car a lot. It's all relative.

                          A multifunction screen is a legal minefield - I'd happily standby my using the screen to navigate a radio station scan, or to determine where I was - via the GPS. Come to think of it - if the phone rings, I use that screen to determine who is calling and whether I reply or not.
                          It's not as clear cut when the display manages various information sources.
                          I do agree watching (or attempting to watch) a movie whilst driving should incur the full wrath of the constabulary and the judiciary ... Unless of course your a show biz personality or politician ... Well that's half of Canberra.

                            The worst thing from an 'eyes off the road' standpoint is navigating folders/song lists & other nested menus.
