Hey Guys,

 

I am having a problem. I have a monitor that I want to use at car shows etc for movies. The monitor ONLY has a VGA input, and the AVIC only has a Yellow Composite.

 

Does anyone know if I can get these two to work easy? Most shops around me are saying no. The other problem is that the screen is a widescreen..... will that pose an issue?

 

Thanks

John

Which AVIC is this exactly?

Avic F90BT... arent they all the same?

Take a look around eBay... I seem to remember seeing VGA ----> composite cables there before for very cheap. I don't think the widescreen ratio will work at all though...

Most computer monitors will not be bright enough to see well in a car.

Yeah, its for car shows, usually indoors.

 

I am thinking: http://cgi.ebay.com/CCTV-Composite-Vide ... 286.c0.m14

 

I wonder if the resolution will be ok. I am not looking for high def, its only a composite cable.

composite cable = 480i/p, that's it, no more.
