Question about a possible Monitor

**Double_Oh_Taco** · 01-11-2009, 10:36 PM

I just recently bought a new touch-screen stereo for my car. I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be able to be used as a monitor as well as the stereo system.

It is a Pioneer AVH-p4000DVD A/V receiver. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...P4000DVD?tab=A.

I wasn't sure whether or not a cable could be run from the computer to this touch-screen.

Thanks much!

I think you can ,due to spec.

Composite A/V Input 1 (AV1)

Marked witd red color is S-video input, if I am correct.

Thanks for the help!

Does that mean I'd use a cable that has the VGA at one end and a A/V connector at the other? Or does that mean I'd use a single cable with two A/V connectors?

Also, I had read somewhere that using A/V won't allow you to use the touch screen, any thoughts on that?

no touch control read my other threat to get touch usb. also thats not a s-video input, it's RCA. pretty sure there's no VGA to RCA cable.; your only solution is PC with RCA video out or S-Video out with a a S-video to RCA converter cable bought only online.. not very common...hard to find.

Hi

I am also thinking of using the double din dvd players LCD touch panel as a screen.

I am planning to remove everything except amplifiers, LCD, then going to place a psu and PICO itx board.

By this way is it possible to re use the existing LCD TOuch panel.

Since the case and motorized LCD is available i dont need to much worry about the case and monitor.

The HU i am going to use:
PIONEER DOUBLE DIN AVIC-HRZ88

please some one help me

thanks
