Weekend Project - Finding a better use for the nav screen

When I did my earlier car with the Parrot CK3000, I left the relay pack on the unit as I did not have a good schematic of the blue box pin out. Parrot diagram from tech support is erroneous. I had to figure it out and confirmed what Charles concluded.
Red audio + , white audio -, black ground, yellow +12v, blue goes to ground when call is made. There is no amplification of the audio lines in the relay box.

Just read about your project, Nice work. Started looking for the hardware and came across this link.

Thought someone might find it worth looking into.

I've always thought that a touchscreen would be the ultimate control retrofit. My company installs Control4 automation systems in residences and one of the projects rattling around by head is the feasibility of replacing the standard display with a Control4 touchscreen. This, and a small Control4 HC-250 controller in the trunk would give almost endless possibilities.
Enough: Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks. The control is currently through the phone itself, not a touch screen, and the Nav display just mirrors everything. That was the primary reason for choosing the HDMI interface, was the mirroring of the display for everything rather than just for playing videos and such.
I had hoped that the music controls could be done through the charger buttons but when using the HDMI adapter, the control signals are lost and only the charging function works. The music controls on the phone are acceptable and on longer trips I subcontract phone/GPS usage to my lovely navigatress.
The adapter harness from WhiteXKR was a big time save and if you want to repurpose the Nav screen I highly recommend it.
The touch screen is an interesting idea, and something I didn't know existed at the time. I'm caught up in some performance upgrades at the moment but if someone wants to write up a touch screen how-to I would certainly be interested to read about it.

2011 xkr 175
Anyone know anything about moding the infotainment screen on a 2011 XKR? No backup camera on the 2011's. It would also be nice to use the screen, also, as a monitor for my mobile devices. Music streaming through Bluetooth would be great too with out the need to physically connect my iphone every time I get in the car. Great job on your mods. Cheers.

This is a fantastic install.
I have been loving every minute owing my xk8 but the SAT NAV / Stereo is a real let down.
Can anyone in the UK do such an installation but with touch screen shown? I live in London but would be happy to travel nationally for such a nice upgrade.
Thanks

I followed a lot of good advice from this forum. I too wanted a touch screen replacement for the out dated sat nav, but there isn't a simple solution currently, although DesignXKR are working on one.
My stereo allows me to use my ipod, hook up to my phone via BT and I've since installed the steering wheel remote and upgraded the front speakers to components with separate crossover and tweeters.
Sounds lovely. I also have the clock on the sat nav working too.

Another of our forum members WhiteXKR makes the adapter harness for the Nav Screen.

Beyond that, it's just a matter of getting an HDMI to component video converter on eBay and then installation.
