I have an old TFT-LCD out of a vehicle. I want to use it to make a dedicated music player. The problem is I cant figure out how to convert the 10 pin connection to the 15 pin vga.
I got the backlight to come on, but that's all.
I attached the pdf manual for your convience.
Thanks for any help

I think it already has that. It was in a vehicle av system and played played DVD. 
as you can see from the diagram, pin 6 handles the composite video signal.... How does it do this with only 1 wire? I tried to connect this one wire to rgb on the vga- nothing... tried separately- pin 6 to rgb red, green, blue, and nothing. ( note: i am using a vga cable with one end cut off to wire to the 10 pin (8 wire) connector.
As already stated, you can't directly connect VGA to Composite, you would require a converter for that.
The monitor can't do this itself because it was designed for Composite input, not VGA and they are completely different - eg. The RGB lines don't carry seperate "Layers" of each color (Like I once thought 
) and there are also the "SYNC" connectios too.
Based upon the monitor you are using, my recommendation is to use a "VGA to Video Converter" as this will allow you to plug your VGA in and output Composite video.
You would then connect it as described in the post above.
Hope this helps!
