Not sure if I just connect it directly to the IP-Bus??

DOes the IP-Bus provide 12v power? ...or simply audio/video?


SO my question is, if a single IP-Bus does not provide power, do I tap tap the wires from the tv tuner into my harness?


Thanks

IP-Bus does not supply power. You should be able to tap into any constant power source or tap into your harness, whichever is more convenient.

You only need to hook up the yellow and black wires. Yellow to constant power, black to ground. Leave the red unhooked.

cool. so red wire and green brake wire is okay unhooked?


...or do i need to ground the green brake wire?

(my N1 unit is bypassed)

I'm looking at the GEX-P5700TV manual now: Red wire definitely leave unhooked.

Not positive on the green wire, manual says to hook it up to the P-brake, but on my GEX-P7000TV, the green wire only needs to be hooked up when the switch on the bottom of the unit is set to "Stand Alone" mode.

If you can test it without putting everything back together, I'd try it first without hooking up the green wire. If everything works, you're good. If not, then hook up the green wire. You might be able to get away with just connecting it to ground if it's needed.

much appreciated, thanks.

bought the unit used, so the manual didnt come with it...

No problem, I'm always glad to help. :)

Be sure to let us know what you figure out with the green wire.

I did not connect the green wire and it works fine. I also have the Z1 and the Ducati bypass.

so i got everything up.... but there is no video??


all i hear is sound from the local network.. can anyone help?

Did you connect the AV-BUS cable too? That has the video.
You need to connect both IP-BUS (data+sound) as well as AV-BUS (video).
