Upgrade from 4:3 to 16:9 monitor.

I have a 16:9 monitor on hand for a cheap prize, and where wondering if it is just plug and play to upgrade the monitor.?

Except for the mounting part of course, but with the wiring.?

Excellent.. Thanks for the rapid reply..

I think ill buy the new monitor then...

I have an other issue, but this with the cd changer..

Sometimes when listening to one of the cd's, the monitor switches to radio, and when shuffeling through the inputs, cd is not an option anymore.. I have to put the ignition key to 0 and then back to get it find the cd again.??

Also at times the cd changer shows cd 0 with song 00.. I then have to eject the magasin and reload it to get the system to play the cd's.. At times when i try to eject the magasin it wount come out. If i then try it later on it comes out..?

Any thoughts if this is all cd changer related problem.?

I removed my CD changer as I have Intravee II.
I am sure someone else will answer your questions.

What is happening is the iBus is losing communication with the CD changer and no longer recognizes that it is there. Possible causes for this are the CD changer itself is going bad or the connections to the CD changer are loose. The one you need to be most concerned with is the 3 pin connector, which has 12V power, ground and the iBus lead. The 6 pin connector provides the audio inputs to the radio module.

Okey.. That sounds right.. The only thing is why..

Ill check the cables going in to the cd changer.. Try wiggle them around while the cd player is playing..

If it still works it could be the cd changer failing..
