LOL,..haha,.. good quote,... not what the OP was looking for though !

SORTED ! Got the dash out today and found that the live feed from the inline fuse was blown. Had to trace the wires from headrests , didn't know whether they ran to the playstation in the back or the new head unit. Looks like the power feed for the screens are independant to them both, its a live feed through an in-line fuse. Kids are happy in the back now watching their DVD's,.. no more " are we there yet ?"

Thanks,.. I had a quick look earlier today, what a frightening site of wires ! Mind you, most were tagged , but I couldn't figure out what a lot of the abreviations were on the tags. There were also lots of other smaller wires hiding in there too, none were looking like they were anything to do with the monitors or the new head. I'm visiting a mate tomorrow who has a volt meter so we can try to trace one end and find the other. I expect it to be just a 12v feed I'm looking for ? On a better note,.. I found the 'jack' for the reversing camera , last owner said he hadn't got round to installing it (the screen goes blank with 'reversing camera' when I select reverse gear). Also I noticed that the aerial for the satnav was not plugged in either, so tomorrow might be an interesting day. Thanks for your swift reply, Jonny

So I've just bought this 2003 X5, with all the extra's. Previous owner has added one of these aftermarket touchscreen satnav/radio/phone/dvd/ goodness knows all what. It all seems to work, most of it anyway,plugged in properly, but I don't know if the original DVD / playstation monitors in the rear were powered up by the original radio/ cd head unit ? Is there somewhere I could look to find the power source for these monitors,.. the actual playstation itself is powering up and the hand controlers are there in the back. Nothing happens when I press the 'power' button on the monitor screens. Where does the power come from for these please ??? Thanks, Jonny

Jack, the Mitsubishi site was POCUK....? my user name was the same as here. Thanks for the welcome anyway. Silly question to start with, Was having a look around the boot area last night in the dark, noticed a small rocker switch just on the right hand side half way up the rear inside column where the boot lid fits,... what is this for ? Is it part of the alarm system ? It has a small red light on it. Just wondering......

= 5 eggs,...eggs 5 = x5 ! Oh well, you either got it or you didn't, not the best intro, but what would be ? I'm John, ( Hi ), just jumped ship from being a mitsu Shogun Di-d lover long term, to a 2003 Beemer eggs 5. Diesel I did get a lot of answers to problems on the Shogun forum, and hopefully will get the same on here ? I prefer to do my own garage work, as I don't like paying for something that I (think) I can do myself ( I'm a mean grumpy grey-haired old Scotsman). I've got a few serious questions to ask the members, but will scan through your pages first to get the feel of the place first, Happy days ahead ? Jonny
