Ok first off hello to everyone I new here!Ok I just bought two headrest monitors from ebay and when I recieved them they only had a s-video coming out the back of them.So I'm looking for a way to connect them by cutting the 6 pin off or mayb some sort of adapter.I've cut the one already and it has 5 wires a blue wire with a smaller wire inside a red wire with a smaller wire inside a black wire a brown wire and a wire with no cover.I see the two wires for the audio that go to the little speaker inside the casing other than that I'm completely lost!Thanx

Oh it a MA AUDIO Model # AM-050PN/PP-C

...i would reattach that. If you have s-video out on your video card, run a splitter to those two. If it's composite out on a HU, use a splitter, then composite to SVid adapter.

Okay, I spent a lot of time with a digital multi meter to figure this one out since I couldn't find an answer on the internet or get one from MA Audio, figured I'd share the wealth. If you open up your monitor, you will see a 10 pin flat connector with red, blue, brown, and black wires. For our purposes, we will refer to the pin with the red wire as pin one.

+12v - pin 4, shiney black wire
12v return - ground, (there are 3 gound wires, they all go the the connector shielding)
+video - pin 1, red wire
vid return - ground
+audio - pin 2, blue wire
audio return - pin 6, black wire

What I did was make my own connector from a PS/2 extender cable (for old school mouse or keyboard). I plugged in the female end to the monitor, and hacked off the male end. Here is the pin out for that:

+12v - Black wire
12v return - ground (exposed wire usually)
+vid - Orange wire
vid return - ground
+audio - Yellow wire
audio return - Red wire

Hope this helps!

Hey do you know what wires to splice into the factory amp? I have a 04 vw jetta 1.8t. I want to put my system in and keep the factory HU I have everything like the amp and subs and also the high to low converter I just don't know what wires to splice in to or if I should splice into the speakers ( and how would I do that) If you can get back to me that would be good. Thank you
