Can anyone give me the basics on hooking up a TV to your system? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

well, basically takes the rca outputs (left and right channels) from the tv and use them in the line input in your headunit - if you have anaftermarket headunit....

also, remeber that most stand alone LCD (TV units) have 2 pairs of inputs...which makes adding more equipment and more screens so much easier

how do you connect it to your battery?? the tv only has these skinny wires, and I dont want to blow it

***Eye8Pussies*** · 11-03-2005, 02:24 PM

generally speaking, you'll hook it up to the same power wire that's attached to your headunit, then it'll turn on when you turn on your headunit and get picture and sound together

its only going to draw as much power as it needs
you do want to put a fuse on the wire tho...because a short could fry it

Is it possible to hook it up the factory HU??

bump. help please

***RningOnFumes*** · 11-05-2005, 02:04 PM

you mean to put sound into it from the tv?... for a stock unit that doesn't have RCA inputs, you'll probably have to go the modulated FM route.

what about a LOC?? the main thing I am worried about right now is powering the TV. Where do I connect the Power and Ground wires at?

How much power does it draw? Does the tv have a remote turn on lead?

LiquidClen · 11-05-2005, 02:47 PM

power draw is 700ma max and 10W max.

By remote turn on you mean??? If you are talking about a remote wire (like amps have) it doesnt have one

***cam2Xrunner*** · 11-05-2005, 03:07 PM

Then I would think that it would work ok if you wire it into the remote turn on lead that your amp is using. Maybe put a very small fuse inline. Do they make then that low though?
