Rear Input/Outputs

[Up&Dn]

Hi All,

I appear to have a 100v output near the rear seat together with a Red/White/Yellow socket.

Can the 100v be upgraded to 240v ...behind the scenes so to speak.

And as regards the others...there's a plug in the yellow one...any clues what this might be?

The plug is a cover, remove to use RCA sockets selecting the AUX input on dash. You can run a laptop or similar from the 100v, nothing heavier. Can’t see much point in hiding a bigger inverter behind that socket. Probably better buying a power bank.

Re laptop...do you mean charger to the laptop?...if so can you buy an adaptor to change to English 3 pin?

Re inverter...do you mean the actual device is on the back of the socket...or is it mounted elsewhere. The reason I ask is that I used to have a 240v supply in a vauxhall mokka years ago and it came in handy.

Alternatively, is there a way to drop the voltage and remove the socket and fit usb points instead?

Thanks.

The three RCA's are video and audio L & R inputs. You can remove the 100v inverter and replace it with a 230v item.

Thank you...I'll look into that.

Amazon have these inverter I presume?

P.S.

The cover for the RCA has been cut off so a plug is in the yellow one permanently...any ideas whatsit might be doing/going to?

Probably an aftermarket tv tuner. Common hiding place is under the seats or the compartments below the seats.

 

[Up&Dn]

Thanks....I'll have a look when the monsoon passes

 

[Up&Dn]

Also...do you have the makevof your inverter.

The ones I can see appear quite bulky with a built it socket that in theory can't be used due to it being behind the panel...although I suppose I could use a 3 pin plug from there to the socket where the old 100v one is

 

[LeStempy]

I can't remember the make. I bought it from a motorhome supplies shop. And, yes, you'll need to wire in a short extension lead as I did shown in my project thread linked to above.

Thanks again.

I believe to remove the rear panel it's just a firm tug required...ooh er missus

 

[LeStempy]

Yes, you have to be brave and yank it from the top.

Dry spell...I'm on a roll so revisiting an earlier question.

The single yellow plug/black wire dissappears down the post presumably into the floor.

Any ideas where it might go.

@LeStempy suggested an aftermarket tv tuner below the seats but I can't see anything.

I'm part way through tearing out the dash to install one of these android/apple interfaces.

On the top heater control there's a tiny hole someone has drilled, taped over by the seller presumably, it's just under the screen and wondered if it may have been involved with this rogue yellow RCA cable, although I wouldn't know where you could plug it in?

Like I say it disappears down the driver side pillar and then goes God knows where.

If I get the rest of the lower dash off tomorrow I'm hoping to find the other end..

I've tried the various Aux & TV inputs whilst unplugging and replacing it without anything happening on the screens so hopefully it's redundant.

 

[Up&Dn]

I found the other end of the cable coiled up under the footwell



The little hole that has been taped over is directly under the screen, in line where someone has yowsered a ruddy big hole in the bottom...don't know whether all this is related but I've ripped it out.

Where did you buy it from? Do they have any apple car play for an E52 interface?

I think so, but I'd have to check.

I can try and send a link from his YouTube page.

PS.

Your details state you have an E51 buy enquiring about an E52.

Sorry E1 ( I keep making that mistake!)

Well in that case...yes.

You look like you have the exact same interior as mine.

I can send you a link or the sellers email, I got it off another member.

There's 2 versions.

460 USD or 320 USD.

I went for the cheaper version, approx £260 if I remember.

The differences are you could download apps etc on the more expensive one and I think also you get an FM expander...we decided we could do without that but each to their own.
