hey guys I followed the directions from a previous thread on how to connect the 7000tv to the avic-d2 and i get sound but no picture i sent the 12 volts to the av bus but i still get nothing. what should the 7000tv be set as av master, ip-bus,or add on mode. help me please

Mine works fine, set to IP Bus your video output comes from the osd rca going to the D2 AV-Bus, you need to use 3-pin on the AV Bus.

Pin 1 = Video Ground

Pin 2 = Composite Input from OSD RCA Connector center pin.

Pin 12 = AV ON INPUT needs to go to +12V. The 12V input tells the AVIC to turn on the AV-Bus input.

I connected everthing the way you did and my av-bus must not be coming on, all I get on the screen is the channels and the tv station's audio. When you cut the av-bus cable in half what did you do with the silver wiring that's all around the entire wiring, isn't that like a ground or something? I get no picture on my d2 but when I connect the osd from the 7000tv to the headrest monitor I get a picture. Are there different av-bus cables? The one I got has the correct pin count and it plugs right into the d2, and also if I'm getting sound and a picture on the headrest monitor that means that the 7000tv is hooked up correctly wouldn't you think
