Make your Xbox switch to AV mode automatically

Short information about why I wrote this instruction

Did it ever annoy you that when you unlike when you start you DVD or DVB your Xbox still had you reaching for the remote to change to the AV channel? For me the main annoyance was the old TV in my bedroom, I had an Xbox with XBMC connected to it so the broken remote should not be a problem if only the Xbox would switch to the AV channel automatically. So I built this and decided to share it with you guys.

What does this modification ACTUALLY do?

It enables your Xbox to automatically switch to the correct AV channel without you reaching for the remote, it can even bring your TV from sleep mode (Well on most models)

This is done by taking 12v (or 5v) from your Xbox adding a connector to the SCART adapter and sending the voltage to pin 8. Very easy.
