I need to know if anyone knows how I can hook up a PSP to the MFD of an RJ.

I got the Ipod hooked up to the Com system, now I need to get some Halo on.

I need constant stimulation and don't know how to carry on intelligent conversation. I also need deets for the bro for when I upgrade in 6 months.

Once I get my 1000 hours PIC I'm outta here. I cant fly the 88tho, cause I need screens. Does the 76 have an MFD like th RJ?







Rant over....I feel better

It must be fun to be old.

(Maybe it says something about you that those you fly with would rather play golf on the PSP than talk to you.)
 
It's simple, pop 4A1 and 2FE and use some old Sega Genesis jacks in their place. Who cares that you might get a runaway stabilizer. The clarity on EICAS 2 is amazing.
 
How do you hook up Palm Springs with Medford?:confused:
 
There's an ARINC232 cable under the dash. Just unplug the green wire with the stripe on it and plug your USB2 adapter into that jack. You can get a hot power supply by tapping into the right engine fire bottle power line. It's on the Hot Battery buss so it even works when all A/C power is off.

Please be very careful... the ARINC232 cable is a orange/white striped cable, and DO NOT splice into the cable marked "BTB002A", which is baby blue in color. Cutting into cable especially in flight, causes for a lotta chit to go wrong. You do NOT what to have to write that up, or explain why it was cut.

My personal recommendation is to go through the overhead panel... unlock, and fold down. Look at the bundle that is near the ignition switches.... This is tricky - to get PSP on any MFD, or multiple if you want crossover viewing/control, you need to cross wire the L/R start switches. Just remember to switch it back when you done.
 
Its easier if you raise the hinged cover on the maintenance panel behind the captains seat, and plug in there. Feel free to tweak the potentiometers that are close to increase the bass and volume on the intercom too.
