i used to make the looms ,but you can buy the loom on the uk forum.
Heres how the fibre optics go

 

What is a loom?

 

Hey J., the only thing is (to me) the fm modulator. You're gonna be pissed with today just being candid. The post I put up with Veff's box (right before your post) is the way to go. Takes all of 10-20 mins to install into the fibre optic loop etc. CD QUALITY SOUND LITERALLY because it's going thru the system...

You paid a bit much for the CVBS converter (HDMI TO AV) You coulda got that for about $10. & honestly, having the Android box sorta makes a DVD PLAYER null and void, because if it's set up correctly, EVERYTHING would be on your box. I took my Blu-ray player out of my Range Rover Sport & replaced it with an Android box bc I have it programmed with KODI, MOVIE HD, FLIXSTER & more, so there was NO need for the DVD player. My phone is my Wi-Fi hotspot...

Other than that, I think you're good...

 

Thanks, good call on DVD Rom, must of been in a green haze but I will return it and get a couple more things. Do you know how to illuminate the Jaguar name on trunk?

Placed order request for BT device from link....I knew you were right but I did not have patience and ordered next day FM Mod but I will use that until the BT mod is shipped.

 

I'm doing my own now and have posted my Project info a page back, I am in Conn and can help if need be but I am not a installer or mechanic...just a disabled Veteran nerd bored with software design and spends a lot of time @ home doing research

 

Good deal on the VEFF BOX. As far as the Illuminated letters, Dennis is the 1 for that!..

 

dont do the fm modulator i tried that years ago very bad sound ,years back i hacked my cd player for $5 ,crisp sound ,but if you have no electrical ability the veff box is for you

i replaced with a hd screen





i did this years ago and works perfect







i would not recommend this if your not good with electronics

 

Hi Dennis, how does one connect the sat nav wiring loom from the boot to the cabin control unit and the front sat nav head unit? I know how to connect the fibre optics and GPS antenna, but don't know the others including converting the manual dial heater to digital heater.

 

OK, going to mod cd, i figure i build computers and repair cell phones and electronics for my day to day so this should not be too hard, I'll take a look. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Hi all, can anyone help, my stock cd player plays 1 or 2 songs from a disc, then a cracking sounds is heard, goes quiet and then disc error is shown. How can i repair this?

 

Hi, Everyone, love this thread, my install even gets a mention along the way, which is cool! My query is that the navtool video interface gets a lot of mention in this thread and I used a much cheaper unit from the Ukrainian company - Car-Solutions. The Navtool list price is $400 reduced to $200 whereas the Car Solutions unit is $140 or £101 for us in UK, and it does the same job, just sayin!!! Universal RGB Video Interface. Car Multimedia Adapter

My install -

 

I'd have to agree here, as I too used the same interface, & reason being is because the price is MUCH better AND it has 1 more input than the Navtool, & the install process is the same...

 

what ever you can afford go for it ,when i bought it years ago i paid $150, to me that was fine it has worked without a glitch ,the quality from this little box does the job ,these days now there popular you can get them for cheap,navtool works for me

 

This was the answer I was looking for.
So without the DVD player it simply won't function? That makes sense.

 

Hey Dennis

What are the solder points in cd player for the aux out cable, I see R-ch, L-ch are these correct? Where is the ground?

 

Ill see if I can find the pics of my wiring and solder points

 

ok thanks for the tips here.. i have the auto climate controller, DVD player, touch screen missing the cables which is the fiber optics and the retro nav cable right?.. so the minimum requirements to activate the screen and make it work is to have these things? If yes.. how does the connection go just to complete my study:
from the source to the DVD rom please

 

i found one trying to find the rest

I bought the same button above, does the separate yellow and gray wire from nav tool get connected to yellow + and gray - to push button?

How did you install the button to console? What drill bit or tool used?
