Video Connector Availability for Series I VE Models

[ZerOne]

Hi everyone,

I have seen some conflicting information regarding the Video Connector for the Headunit for Series I models.
I have read that models with the factory fitted colour LCD screen (I.E. SSV, Calais, HSV, Statesman, Caprice) have the Video Connector already fitted to these models.

(Apparently the video connector is there for optionally fitting the Sat-Nav system, and that this connector is wired to a conventional square connector located on the LHS of the glove box).

Thinking of how Holden like to save every penny they can, I cant imagine the video connector being available, however it would be a nice surprise if this was the case).

Is there anyone with a Series I SSV, Calais, or HSV model (Without factory Sat-Nav or Rear Seat Entertainment) that can shed some light on this ?

The reason why I am asking is that I am trying to piece together all the wiring looms for my Series I Sat-Nav system, and I am wondering if I will need to remove the Series 1 Video connector from my cars loom to package with the Sat-Nav system when I sell it.

Cheers for any help !

Hey Matti

no the connector is not in a car that doesnt have SAT NAV... mine 2006 SSV didnt have that connector floating around at all... Is it part of the main harness in your car or an add in part?

Thanks for that

Yeah, it looks like its part of the main harness. (I cant separate the video connector without cutting the harness).
Likewise with the Sat-Nav Video Connector side.

(Looks like I will be cutting the connectors off to sell my Series I Sat-Nav Unit).

Cheers and thanks again for your help !

Does anyone have any clear photos of the white plug on the vga cable from the sat nav unit that would help me identify the plug used - I would like to get one of these cables but no one seems to know the part number so I need to make my own up

I got a Maloo wiring loom for the full dash conversion, but I cbz doing it, it has the VGA connector for video on the too part, if that's what ur talking about?
Does anyone no if I can buy that plug anywhere like what jhp sell for the RCA inputs?

When I get home from work tonight, Ill see if I have a good picture of this connector.

It might be easier though just to source a VGA D SUB Connector from Jaycar, and solder directly on this this connector, and then run a cable directly to the headunit ?

The above page shows the pinouts for the VGA connector, and the Pinout for the Headunit (Series 1) Video Connector.

If you do it this way, you can keep your existing factory VGA DSub to white connector cable, and maybe even sell it off on eBay for some $$$$
(I have seen quite a few Sat Nav units that have been sold without any video connectors, or even the glovebox wiring loom for power and SW Can).

I hope this helps ?
(When I get home, I will look for photos of the above connector).

I think I have the white connecor at home I got it from a Toyota dealer. It plugs into the square connector behind the glove box.
Is that the one?
