Xbox using rearview camera input?

[colintrax]

I bought a Pioneer AVH-X1500DVD to put in my X. It has AV inputs on the back but I believe it's for a rear view camera? Reading the manual (yes, I seriously read it. No joke) it only mentions using it to play DVD's and use a rear view camera.
So my question is, can I hook an xbox up to the AV inputs and it'll play? More importantly have a quality image?
I'll be grounding out the parking brake wire so I don't think making it play will be an issue

Just a few links in on the website you had posted is that manual. According to the manual, page 25 tells you how to hook up an external input and page 26 talks about a rear view camera.

Sorry my fault it appears those numbers are section numbers not page. (page 47 i think) here's the ones I'm talking about.

The rear view camera according to the next page should plug in on the left of the shaded area, near the subwoofer outputs.

Ah, so it should work! Thank you!

I'll be running cables to the little control panel for the rear seats. Since nothing but AC controls work on it anyways

Nice I don't trust cd trays so I plan on adding a NES someday. I have a question in return tho, how are you planning on powering it?

Are you going with a power inverter to the xbox brick?
Or are you going to somehow strait wire it as the xbox runs on a 12v dc system anyway?

Xbox won't be staying in the truck, I just want the AV cables easy to hook up to incase we ever use the explorer for a family vacation and for my many road trips. I'll be using a power invertor though, truck will have dual batts and a very large invertor soon.

Nice and makes sense. Yeah I haven't gotten around to putting a NES (i have two now) permanently in the truck. partially because i want to build a large splitter with maybe a few switches that allow either NES, Aux (other video source), and a 3.5mm jack to all go to the same input on my headunit.

That'd be awesome, maybe USB, HDMI, and AV. Have em all lol
If I was permenatly installing something I think I'd copy you and do an old game system. N64 prob. I drive crazy enough on asphalt, on dirt speakers get damaged... Lol

Oh I know. I started taking more parts off of our 98 which I totaled a few years ago. Man the amount on dust hidden in "sealed" locations is amazing. Sucks to live on a gravel road sometimes.
Good point I forgot I'd need to extend the usb as well.
I don't have HDMI so I wont have to deal with that but yeah a lot of wiring...exactly why i keep putting it off. Cuz it'll take a while and I don't wanna do it. seeing as how I need to rewire my headunit itself.
It would probably be a better idea to run an n64 as you could then play with 4 controllers vs 2. speaking of which how will the rear passengers see the screen?
Are you running headrest monitors? I only ask because I like the idea of using a 15 inch computer monitor but i dont know how to convert the rca from the headunit to vga that the monitor sees.

Sorry I tend to ramble about thing I like.

It'll never be more than 1 person playing, so they can sit in the middle seat or passenger seat. I'm considering looking for a flip down monitor at the junk yard. Well see, that'd be a large project
