I then bought a ruggedised PC (ex-Canadian KMart failure), which I then loade dup with OziCE and a Bluetooth GPS. It is for sale on Ebay right f*n now (RFN).
I replaced the ruggedised CE PC as I purchased a in-dash unit similar to what is in this discussion... See my shed for pics. It is a 600MHz, 1Gb RAM, 2xexternal USB inputs and a front USB Input. It read upto 32Gb Micro SD, which is great because I have heaps of Ozi Maps. Also (and maybe the best bit) is that I can play my Iphone music over the Bluetooth, and the kids can watch Iphone (or Ipad, if I had one) movies over the speakers whilst they share the screen. I bought this with DVBT and Rear Camera for a bargain and then sold my original SR5 Bluetooth unit for over $300 on Ebay.
Problem is that Ozi wouldnt work to begin with... but, have recently bought the latest version of CE and it works. Giddyup! However, the port still wont share the GPS between Ozi and the road based GPS Program.
I couldnt remember my Ozi username and serial number, but I emailed and he gave it to me... Great service.

It only seems to happen when the indicator is on and when the brakes are applied. It is intermittent though and only happens 50% of the time. I have reversing camera installed too.
The other day I remover the unit thinking that it was some kind of Earth fault. I removed scotch locks and solderered every join. checked all plugs and re-fitted. Still no joy! Only thing I haven't got around to looking at is the rear wiring of the reversing camera and brake light pick up.
Any body electrically minded got any ideas? I'd hat to have to hassle Matt again for another replacement unit. I have everything working perfectly other than this annoyance....
digoptions wrote:Dear all, regarding some people experiencing the screen blanking when you apply brakes, or indicators etc, my installer said this is common and it's not a unit fault, it's actually a fault of the original vehicle wiring. But he did say that between the camera remote wire and the positive of reverse you should add a resistor. Also from the camera there is a black and red, it's best to apparently wire the black to the body of the car (and of course the red to positive of the reverse.

They are actually rectifier diodes which are available at local electronics stores. The ones my installer is using are marked "IN4004 MIC".
