Help to locate video-in , on rear of NAV unit
 

Hi All, I bought a 2007 Outlander sun and sound,XLS Lux,and had no Nav unit. i told the dealer ill buy the car only with NAV unit. They installed the NAV unit,and when i got home i noticed the back of the rear concole didn't have VIDEO-IN, only AUDIO white and red.I thentouched the SET and NAV botton on the Nav unitto go tothe Service screen, and then touched the Network/Connect tab and saw that Video in was active (ok). so can someone show me a pic that shows the VIDEOIN/Aux so i can add a Video RCA jack. Im adding a rear cam and i know where that gets pluged in,and hope its not the same place as the Video Aux IN...Thanks.

Well, I have added it to my unit..

You need to pop out that unit holding the Red/Wht audio jacks
Then hit the radio shack and get the RCA type that can be screwed onto the plactic after you drill the hole..

Solder the RCA to the PCB like the others then find some connectors with pins that are long enuf and can be bent like the others on the PCB.

I will find the info for taking apart, I did enuf so I could push the aux block out, and unplug

I kinda wish I had a camera and took pixs.

Maybe I will pop it out and show the end results

It does work BTW

Printed circuit board.. The other 2 RCA are wired to it, on the other end the pins of the plug stick out. The are bent at 90 degrees just above the circuit board

after drilling holes, i cut two pieces off a paper clip to make the two connectors for the video.
i solder them, and the video jack, put everything togethr, and wala !

oh and also you may want to file both sides of the pins to make them flat.
