FG501 Video Conversion Kit

[SeduceXR]

Hi Asl,
I've been looking at the FG501 Video Conversion Kit that you have on your website and was wondering how easy it would be for me to fit to my current vehicle. I currently have a FG with premium sound however it currently has factory; GPS, reverse sensors, Bluetooth and iPod integration. Will having these features inhibit my ability to connect the FG501 Video Conversion Kit? Also how easy is it to fit this kit, would I be required to remove the ICC or does it connect to existing connectors which are easily accessible?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Fadi,

Thanks for that, I was just a bit concerted with the few options I have that there wouldn't be anywhere left to fit it.

Will the FG501 kit always take priority over the screen? Say I'm using the FG501 and a select reverse will the reverse sensor take priority display over the FG501 kit?

I need to finish on thing before I start another with my car, so once I've fitted the speakers I have bought I'll e-mail you for the instructions and grab myself a kit off the website.

Thought i would jump on the back of this thread.

Whats the difference between the fg 501 and FG 500. is it just the IPod connection?

also, with these, could i connect the TV out from a laptop and play video via that (NTSC of course) - I assume I couldnt conect the VGA output from a laptop

you can use the second input for tv as long you use ntsc products.

I recieved mine yesterday and have since hooked it up. is there a way to make it actually display everything. all i can get is videos ive brought off itunes or youtube. it doesnt recognize other video player apps on the phone ?

[hamoudy10]

you need to jailbreak your iphone and then get a program called TvOut which will show everything, even navigation, home screen, etc.

Yeh thanks for this was slightly confused at one stage but it all worked out sweet

[Gonz]

pretty keen on this after seeing Thommo's the other night, we were all very impressed, once this is fitted, and with a new head unit to play DVD's, this will all show up on the screen too wont it, or does it all have to come from an Ipod/pad/phone?

Does this kit use the original iPhone jack located in the centre console?

hi

it doesn't use the original ipod jack. the factory one does not support video


cheers

[Jocool]

Will this make the jack in the centre console obsolete, or would I still have to use that to get music from my phone?

Does this mean that if I'm running an app that supports video out (e.g. a gps app or Jailbroken iphone to support video out) on the ICC display, are you still able to play music from the cars stereo be it the radio, CD or ipod, or does whatever is on the screen take over the audio function as well?

Thanks!

hi

the ba and the fg require 2 different kits. BA500 and fg 500 not compatible

I am thinking of getting the FG500 kit plus something like this

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wi-Fi...350978409.html

To enable me to airplay my iPhone screen and audio up onto the ICC screen and thru the stereo - and to also enable others in the car to do this from their device wirelessly.

Do you think that would work ASL?

[ASLTech]

Can't vouch for it, but for what it appears it looks as if it would work, it has RCA output so it would connect to our RGB Box. But again we cannot guarantee it will work as we have not tested this.

Cheers
