that sucks

2017-05-15 15:45:28 UTC  

i mean ,im about to buy it

2017-05-15 15:45:42 UTC  

I'd say its worth a shot

2017-05-15 15:45:55 UTC  

thing is, since its meant for cars, it doesnt like have a proper power input

2017-05-15 15:46:09 UTC  

they supply you with a DC cable that ends with loose ends

2017-05-15 15:46:09 UTC  

Is it like 12 volts or something

2017-05-15 15:46:14 UTC  

yeah DC 12 volts

2017-05-15 15:46:22 UTC  

thing is, idk what would be the amperage be

2017-05-15 15:46:33 UTC  

I think there are AC to car jack adapters out there

2017-05-15 15:46:49 UTC  

you misunderstood

2017-05-15 15:47:13 UTC  

Is it for direct wiring into the fuse box or something?

2017-05-15 15:47:30 UTC  

i guess

2017-05-15 15:47:40 UTC  

but no info is provided on that

2017-05-15 15:47:46 UTC  

damn

2017-05-15 15:47:50 UTC  

they just say "12V DC and uses 3W"

2017-05-15 15:48:00 UTC  

you'd wire it into one of the center console lines

2017-05-15 15:48:01 UTC  

Then just math

2017-05-15 15:48:08 UTC  

eg like a head unit power supply

2017-05-15 15:48:33 UTC  

they say you have to somehow wire it to the reverse light so that the input video switches automatically

2017-05-15 15:48:39 UTC  

i dont get it tbh

2017-05-15 15:49:19 UTC  

hmm a 12 volt adapter?

2017-05-15 15:49:20 UTC  

maybe

2017-05-15 15:49:54 UTC  

If it's 3 watts at 12 volts it should theoreticaly use 0.25 amps

2017-05-15 15:50:26 UTC  

0.25 amps

2017-05-15 15:50:27 UTC  

are you serious

2017-05-15 15:50:51 UTC  

That probably isn't true

2017-05-15 15:50:58 UTC  

3w seems a bit generous

2017-05-15 15:51:57 UTC  

but basicly, you can probably get like a 0.5A 12V wall wart and a female connector and solder that onto the display

2017-05-15 15:52:57 UTC  

or buy a chink 12V DC charger ; )

2017-05-15 15:53:15 UTC  

that is what i was suggesting

2017-05-15 15:53:23 UTC  

maybe an rca to hdmi/vga?

2017-05-15 15:53:41 UTC  

why that

2017-05-15 15:54:00 UTC  

and just use a cheap lcd for pis

2017-05-15 15:55:02 UTC  

idk im not good at diy stuff

2017-05-15 15:57:20 UTC  

im just looking for something that can handle rca and is cheap af
