I recently bought this official 2004 DVD screen headrest off ebay:

(IMG:http://i4.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/fc/9a/0f5d_1.JPG)

I was hoping that the unit would come with industry standard connectors so that I could connect it to a DVD player, it seems they are proprietary...

The unit has 2 leads, one thin cable terminates in a Female connector roughly the size of a small microphone 'jack', the second is a reasonably thick cable comprising lots of coloured wires, this ends in a 'square block' snap in connector.

The only paperwork is a Volvo packing checklist which states that the conversion was done by Volvo in 2004 and the includes "screen data looms", there is no contact details of where this was done

Can anyone shed light on whether I can get this screen working?

PS I'm in the UK.

Thanks!!

Jim

:grin: And I know how much you paid for it - they were quick off the mark with postage too :thumbsup:

Can't help much but I asked beforehand hoping it would just be a composite cable that I could connect to a personal DVD player but no such luck.
I think it might connect directly to a seperate changer though.

edit . . . just thinking, is the small female socket around the size of an RCA plug ?
Perhaps the larger cable is only needed to properly control the screen with a remote or through a head unit or similar?
