Thanks a bunch No panic yet,just want to look at any options availible. I am going to see if i can get any luck with trying to fix the original screen,as dumb as that is ,I think it would be cool if it a tually worked Paulo

Great Man,that really helps. I would love to keep the screen,I would probably do the same thing you did and integrate a GPS receiver as well,what concerns me right now is the fact that the screen does seem to have a mind of its own.Now keep in mind I recieved the car yesterday and drove it home and to work this morning,I did not have any time to play with anything. But this morning the screen sort of split in two and I had the climate control showing on one side of it.now I will ask a really stupid question........................... When it was on the screen ,I saw a fan "button" and temp" buttons",now the stupid question............ Is this supposed to be a touch screen,??? I tried to touch or "push" the buttons and nothing hapened,by the time I was finished reversing out of the parking lot,that screen had disappeared again,and no amount of pushing on the various buttons could make it reappear once again.I did notice that turning the temp knob does change the heating functions,so at least that works. Some of what I have read talks about crappy solder joints, is this a common problem on these units? has anyone sort of resoldered some of the boards and this has fixed the blanking issue? I have an aircraft instrument repair shop,so I can spend some time trying to at least have the unit stay on, I also shoved a CD in the unit,but it didnt play anything,do I have to select something or will it start to play the CD directly when it works? (it did eject the CD though) I hate having to tear stuff out,but this is "new" to me and we didnt get to many of these here in Canada,so I have to ask where the expertise is,and thats you guys!! Any light shedding is again very appreciated. Thanks Paulo

Hello guys I know you have discussed this here,but i am just looking for a little clarity on the subject. I have just recieved my 1998 S2 Stagea here in Canada and it also has the xnavi thing,and of course it does not work.My unit only shows the Nissan on the screen and nothing else.The temp functions seem to work but i see nothing on the screen. I want to ask my buyer in japan to help me get some of the required parts to retrofit this with something a little more standard. So I think I need the standard climate control ,surround,and radio brackets,where i am a little confused is the harness or adapter harness,this is something that someone makes in japan? I looked through 64 pages of yahoo auctions last night under stagea ,but could not find anything(there were more pages but there is a limit before i get frustrated) Since there are no Stageas here in Montreal Canada ,i dont have anything I can compare with,so im hoping you guys can help. So here s thanks in advance Paulo Any pointers would be welcome and if you have a link to what i need to get this done,that would be wonderfull.
