Once it’s all wired up, you can test it by making sure you have a 5v source (I chucked some spade terminals on my DC-DC converter and connected it to the cigarette lighter plug behind the tissue box) and powering the converter.

if you were looking at the connector from the rear side where the wires are coming out. The ICC Connector is from the rear view, i.e. This is so the cable is shielded from any interference from any other electrical equipment in the car.īelow I’ve drawn a wiring diagram to help. You will have to wire the RGBS connector to the shielded cable, and the ICC connector to the other end of shielded cable. So, get the RGBS cable that came with the converter, and chop it off at the end. What you want to do is wire the ICC connector to the RGBS out of the VGA converter. These are traditionally used for connecting a computer up to an old arcade monitor, which also uses this annoying 15KHz horizontal rate. Originally, I had it wired directly to VGA (As shown in the document), but after no luck trying to use PowerStrip to change the horizontal scan rate manually, and without wanting to fork out $100+ on a PCI-E graphics card that I couldn’t fit into a small case anyway, I ended up using a CGA to VGA adaptor. Now we have the 10 pin connector needed for the ICC, we also needed to make up a cable. You can get it online from here, otherwise you can get it from any auto shop and costs about $15-25. The one you’ll want is the Toyota/Diahatsu OEM Harness, Product code: 71-1761. Whilst this is really how the quintessential cheapskate would do it, I got lazy and ended up buying the AerPro harness that had the same connector. Their window demister and antenna height switch both use the same connector.

The connector itself you can get from the older E-Series falcons (EF and EL to be more specific). You can look at this document from fordmods (where I found the bulk of the info for this) to see how to do it. First things first, was creating the cable to actually connect to the input connector on the BA ICC.
