Hello,

Whats the easiest (cheapest) way to connect your Axim to output to an RCA cable. I would like to output my TomTom onto a LCD Screen in the car, or any other media on my Axim, but it only take RCA video in. Will this work? Along with the presentation cable? Are the cables on ebay any good?

Thanks,
P

It should work (it has the right plugs) but I can not say anything about its quality. But for ~US$10 I would buy it and regret it later, or else be happy with it.

NO, it won't work. These adapters are only for VGA cards that already have the VGA to NTSC converters built into them. This has been asked many times before in this forum. Do a little searching and you'll find more info on this.
In order to convert the VGA output of the X50v to NTSC, you need a special adapter that's going to cost around $30-$40. Look at this: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=128314
It appears the page is still valid. You want to buy the unit on the right.

HUH? Do you know what you're talking about? VGA and NTSC are two completely unrelated things.

Well, the guy said RCA cable, which would imply TV inputs, thus NTSC. I guess his LCD panel is a TV screen (like the PSone monitor).

Yeah, they are not unrelated. You cant just hook up any old cable, you will need a converter/encoder to go to NTSC format.

You would also need one of these and I believe it will work.

The first one wont, as you will need a USB port for power, but the second one might.

as a humorous aside, doesn't NTSC stand for Never The Same Color?
