I am aware of this. Im not planning on connecting the 40V to the XAV-7W via
the unilink, only its video output.
The data bus for the c90 would be like this C90 - 40V - 4000X- CDX-805.
Video generated by the 40V's character generator would feed the 7W's aux
video in, along with DVD player video on aux input 2. Front audio outs of
the 7W would feed the 40V's aux audio in so I could use its built in AM/FM
tuner. There will be no changer, etc connected to the 7W on its unilink bus.

This cannot be done AFAIK. The XAV-7W is a UniLink MASTER device and so is
the C90... There is no way to put two MASTER devices on the same UniLink
bus (without shorting out one or both of them thereby frying the UniLink
circuits at a minimum!).
I'm not 100% sure about it, but I would NOT try it unless both units are
still under warranty and/or you are willing to pay for the repairs done to
any/all UniLink units connected when the attempt is made to connect two
UniLink master units together.
I also searched for the 40Vs and found nothing--I guess they ended or were
cancelled or something...
Also I would note that the C90 can use either the XT-U500V, U400V or 40V TV
Tuners, but cannot use the XT-63V (according to Sony's warning). The XAV-7W
on the other hand is the exact opposite--the only TV tuner it can use is the
63V--none of the others will work with it.
But again, the 7W is a UniLink MASTER--i.e. it is a UniLink head unit.
Trying to connect it and a TV tuner and a C90 (and other devices) to the
same bus would be like trying to connect any other two HUs to the same
bus--it spells certain disaster. If you're very lucky it just won't work,
if you're not one or more devices are going to get fried :(

Ohhhh, okay I see. Silly me. Yeah the above makes perfect sense--I even
thought about doing that myself once, lol. The only thing is it is kind of
"round about" which is disappointing to say the least especially when Sony
*could* have made another screen like that without the UniLink HU features
(to decrease the cost); plus they could have made it look nicer at least.
The 7W looks fine when deployed but when retracted it looks horrible--it
looks like an "off-brand" screen when it is in the dash, IMO. Too bad Sony
couldn't make an XVM-7W model without the UniLink/head unit features. OR
alternatively they could have at least made the XAV-7W able to control the
older TV tuners as well as being able to control DSP processors.
But hey, that's Sony for you, always making things more complicated... :(
