Wait what are you trying to do?

What are those first wires from?

So if your going to use just your carputer and not a HU then you need a low level converter for that sub amp.


Im guess that video is from a dvd player or some sort so yeah you just need a male adapter.

For the second audio out why do you want it connected to the touchscreen speaker?

So just connect the yellow AUX's and not the red/white AUX's becuz they are for the sound.....? I think I see what you mean. I just want the video to be relayed and not the sound. Thanks dawg. I am gettin the GXE trim kit soon and will update

So I got the GXE trim from E.Lee and to my surprise, my monitor would not fit into it. So now starts a fiberglass project. I took a pic from here of Metal's radio trim and blew it up life size () to use as measurements. I also got a few surprises in store.

Do you have a headunit that you replaced your bose with?

Also what you could cut that GXE kit up if the opening is to small if its too big then you have another option.

Cardomain sells a kit by schose(sp?) that is for two single din units. I would buy that (like $17) and just use the dash piece and cut it to the size that I want.

This thread is a nightmare.

1. male to male RCA connectors - radio shack
2. that will help your video problem - the video coming from the HU (yellow) goes INTO the monitor (yellow)
3. The audio (red and white) from the HU goes into your stock stereo system. If you have Bose, use Metra 70-7551.
4. The link above works for the screws. TIGHTEN till you hear the click, then loosen.

......nowhere does it mention what sort of aftermarket HU you are using.

What's the use of using this touchscreen monitor? Do you have a carputer?
