Hello All,
I have '97 Chrysler Town & Country and recently installed Boss DVD player with TV tuner (DVD-8500). Thanks for the great article/instruction in this site (https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=25101&KW=Dodge+Caravan+headliner). I just followed NowYaKnow's instruction. Everything went well and now my kids enjoy the DVD.
But one problem - I cannot figure out the wiring on the TV tuner. The manual it came with says
* RED - DC 12V
* BLACK - GND
* YELLOW - ACC
* WHITE - Hand Brake
* BLUE - Reverse Line
I know what 12V and GND are, but no idea on the rest items. What's ACC? Where should I connect the Hand Brake wire? What's reverse line?
I called the manufacture tech support. They said I don't need to connect them. It didn't work. I returned the tuner back to the manufacture. They tested and sent back to me with saying "no problem found."
Could someone help me? Thanks!
your yellow wire is your accessory wire or the wire that has power to it when the key is turned on. yeah, you shouldnt need to hook up the blue and white.
Thanks!! I will try this weekend and will let you know the result.
this is a indash flip out monitor correct...
The yellow wire is normally 12 volt constant which provides power all the time..
The red wire should normally be the the acc wire which only is powered when the key is turned.
The handbrake wire needs to be hooked up to the ground of the handbrake. this wire turns the picture on when theparking brake is engaged. or you could just hook it to ground and the monitor will play all the time.
the reverse wire does not have to be hooked up but if you ever get a back up camera this wire hooks on to the reverse light wire and the monitor will turn on the back up camera whenever you put the car in reverse....
post back and let me know how it turns out.....
