Japanese D.V.D Conversion

FURIOUSBENNY · Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:47 pm Post subject: Japanese D.V.D Conversion

I had an earlier post up similar to this topic.Although related this is on a different angle.

With the original built in D.V.D/G.P.S screens that comes in some foreign used cars, can I use an external D.V.D player to play and just stream it thru the screen in the car.Will I still need a T.V tuner if I go this way and again how simple will this be to do ?

Someone was telling me about a C.D (Japanese) that is inserted into the stock player and then an external player is used.Anyone knows about this?

If the car came with say an Alpine head unit, could you use the TV Tuner from north america on the unit and will it work properly?

I PM this man (Sheldon SBS) asking for his contact n business location...no reply yet...doh waste allya time Rolling Eyes

FURIOUSBENNY that might be sorta complicated and bulk of equipment in your dash, might be simpler to get a 7-10" screen for your dvd player... just a suggestion

^^^may be cheaper too....... but it would look good to have images displayed on one's stock screen.....

Dudes when i contacted the guys from Japan and Singapore i was told i wouldnt work as the DVD player region code was hard wired and cant be changed and as for the TV tuner you need a decoder and most of them are of the coaxial type ours is built in. it someone makes auniversial one PLEASE let us all know case then i wouldnt be bore in traffic
PS I get 5 cable channels but they all look like negatives, but the audio is great

now vega i think i can help u out with ur screen problem ..however i may need some time and finding out someone to decode japanese... these navi/dvd systems do come with an aux input .. just need to knwo which is the correct button to activate it

and reason i said i need some time with the unit is that i think mitsu is supplied by alpine who has a universal supply so what could be done ( i may be wrong but its an idea) is that since the 'brain' is hardwired into japs region u could replace the player and brain so in effect u usin the original screen just replacing it with a us brain and player..

think of the pioneer/carrozia differences...same units just different regions.. i knwo of some pioneer head units using the carrozia cd changers... so this may just work

btw does ur trunk unit say addzest or mitsu? or just looks oem?

i think there is a way to do it

People my situation is the same as Vega. When I turn on my a/c or put in a cd everything is cotrolled thru this interactive screen. There is a button marked T.V bold on the player so I assumed that with the use of a tuner at least this function would work...

Hear this one, it seems all vital elements of this car interface with the screen. Last night my gas run low and a display showing the tank and an arrow pointing to it came up on the screen. In addition to that a female voice started to talk in Chinese thru the car's audio system..So I spoke to an electrician and he said it may be possible to use just an external D.V.D player and run it to use just my screen...

FURIOUSBENNY · Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 4:39 pm Post subject: Japanese D.V.D

Well VegA, I not too sure but there are supposed to be universal T.V tuners for this purpose.Otherwise I give up on the D.V.D conversion, for now at least..Will keep you people posted though...

Toyota corolla fielder with tv/cass/cd/am-fm -. I pick up a few stations sometimes clear other times not aoccording to the region of T&T. What can be done to pick up more stations? Sadly, there are no input jacks on the unit to be able to feed a dvd player to be able to use the screen for video. Any suggestions?

ah simple check to see if the screen working with a dvd player is to try one . If you remove your head unit u will see if there is an auxilary input in the back. some of them dont dive u the option to select auxilary input if nothing is plugged into the auxilary input. if u have an auxilary input u could use the output from anydvd deck or even your house dvd and try it . if it shows on your screen then you know if it will work.if not you will have to buya new unit if u want tv.

there is one other issue if the input is ntsc or pal . if is pal then u screwed and cannot do anything about it (for a reasonable cost). doh worry most come ntsc/pal.

About that region code well if u cannot find the hack to convert it just play burn dvd burn dvd are region free.
