Here's one like I had. This is Amazon America though. The miracast and composite out (rca) is the important part. Then just find one with good reviews. https://www.amazon.com/Mirabox-Mirrorlink-Wireless-Miracast-Mirroring/dp/B019ME7GA6/ref=pd_aw_sbs_0_2/132-5904877-1811039?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B019ME7GA6&pd_rd_r=64373b2f-5069-11e9-998d-a9ae91c951bf&pd_rd_w=Vxvf5&pd_rd_wg=DjxtV&pf_rd_p=aae79475-6dc9-4a12-80e8-27b63108fa72&pf_rd_r=DP1RVY4FWP1WJK8NB6HE&psc=1&refRID=DP1RVY4FWP1WJK8NB6HE Because I already had one of these below I changed to this when I suspected the mirabox was playing up (although maybe it wasn't a problem after all and was my phone causing the drop-outs after more than a year of usage. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/networking/microsoft/microsoft-p3q-00016-wireless-display-adapter-v2/981657/ And then convert its hdmi with one of these https://www.amazon.com.au/GANA-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B01KXI8LZE If you get video interference then you may need a filter for the video. These can be found at jaycar if need be.

Ah ok makes sense, thus the comments about not caring about the dialler which I agree isn't overly useful. The touch isn't needed for much else in the v36 anyway except maybe the aspect ratio for aux which is set and forget. Or maybe even that can be carried out by the direction arrows as well. This is a far less intrusive thing to do. Just a little more work to get it right I guess. I like the sound of it.

I believe you specify if you have the Bose, no bossy, nav, no nav combos and they supply the right harnesses. The q50/q60 videos show oem harnesses and adapters

Sounds interesting. So how you dealing with the standard oem.info display? Is it just a touch overlay and your using the oem screen for the nuc and a switch to go between the oem info and the nuc? Or just not worrying about the oem info? Or managing to read it and display it on the nuc?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be keen to here the details once you're willing to share more.

I'm asking them if they will either offer a guarantee it will function fully, especially the cluster for the mileage, or offer all expenses returned to me including postage/shipping if it does not fully work. I'm still hesitant however unless they give more confidence. I'm an android user at home (my home automation is through android ie tasker and a little ifttt where required, and the raspberry pie tends to do minimal as I prefer android.) so with Android in my car I would likely automate plant if things based on time of day and location eg when getting car after 12pm and not near home, automatically direct google maps to navigate to home or put the live streaming radio on a certain channel when I start driving and it's before 9am etc). Thus why I find this solution so tempting if I can reduce the risk of wasting 750 dollars. The risk of wasting installation efforts will always be there.

Losing the middle screen would lose the trip meter and outside temp I guess wouldn't it? Other info on that can be shown on the middle screen eg distance to empty and fuel economy.. Actually, maybe it's only fuel economy on the middle screen as well. While I am happy losing the trip meter it won't go through rego without that so I would be interested how hard it is to get the screen back if it proves to have this problem on a v36. Still, I need some confidence they'll stand behind their product for a v36 as I have also read some concerning customer service reports for phoenix since searching reasonably extensively.

OK thanks. I have asked them if they will give a money back guarantee including shipping if the system does not work as advertised. Also mentioned there are others that may be interested... I have a feeling that their response will still not give me great confidence but I am really hoping so.

@DashyyPC While Phoenix didn't give an answer distilling confidence in the purchase.. I am still a little curious about the compatibility. When you say Nissan, do you mean other types of Nissan's or v36 specific? Was all this through word, or is there somewhere online that has discussed this? I can't seem to find anyway in google that returns any info for "v36 phoenix radio"

So in reply to all my questions (see list above) they vaguely answered one question.. Which at least was the most important one. Doesn't really give great confidence. Hi Peter Brown, Will this work with a jap RHD model? not sure, we didnt get any feedback form jap RHD model. Thank you. Ticket: https://phoenixautomotivellc.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets/33589 Best regards,

I can find links of similar devices if you are still haven't challenges finding them.

I just used a hdmi to rca adapter (connected to the aux input) then plugged a Microsoft wireless display adapter in. Originally I had a miracast box which had the Android wireless display and ios wireless display and that had rca outs. But it failed on me and never bought another one as I only displayed android screen mirroring. Problem with this is it uses a reasonable amount of battery so I mainly do it while charging. As I use it as a daily I use a wireless charger in a dock (3d printed dock with wireless charger stuck in it) and use tasker (android app for automation) to enable screen mirroring automatically when it's dropped in the dock . I use this daily on my screen thus why I went to this effort. Edit: The challenges with this is wireless charging and screen mirroring causes heat so I had to install a cooling fans and the touch doesn't work so you rely on either a Bluetooth remote or voice while driving. You won't have the heat problems using normal charging however.

I thought about that originally (enquired about 3 years ago) then realised as it added no extra function other than Japanese to English I couldn't justify the price. I then moved to screen mirroring my android phone and created a few automation things so it mirrored automatically when charging and in the car, and used google assistant to get things working with minimal touching of the phone. So I hadn't cared about the Japanese conversion again. But this looks to to both, get English conversion and also adds functionality like Google maps which I use regularly, google music which I use regularly, online radio which I use regularly... As long as the system is ok, the added function to me seems worth the cost over what I already have with screen mirroring. I could install Android auto on it as there is an app that mimics Android auto I believe.

I'll post back here. I'm sort of keen as this is far better than the english conversion for far cheaper. I have been mirroring my phone on the v36 screen for the past 3 years. I've since looked at videos of the Q50/Q60 version which I believe are similar... One thing I don't like initially is the climate controls have physical controls and screen controls. Just seems to be a repeat and can't see where it can removed. Although it can have the theme changed I believe which makes it look less like its repeating itself. The screen I have found is defintely one screen. None of the reviews say it has a poor screen or anything so the resolution must be OK for in car (it is only 1280x800 on a 12.1 inch screen which is low by todays standards) and no one mentions anything about glare being a problem. So I am hopeful the screen will be reasonable. I have yet find one installed in a Jap v36 (RHD) however but hope this shouldn't be a problem.

I've since sent them an email to find out a few questions listed below. Let's see if or when they answer my questions. Like the concept... Little hesitant as some people had problems with the voltage of the reverse camera. Minor problem but not necessarily plug and play. Not sure how good the support is if you have challenges. Hopefully good, but limited info on the internet for the G37 (nothing for the v36). Hi I have a manual v36 jap spec 370gt coupe sports with say nav. Will this work with a jap RHD model? I am wondering what functions are lost with this system? Will the side camera still work? Will the reverse camera come up when put in reverse? Can both cameras be shown at once or one or the other? Will the dash screen (behind the steering wheel) still work? Is the resolution 1280 vertical and 800 width? It's one screen yes? Can the video can be moved to the top of the screen, and affectively 800x480 res for the video? Will the handfree use the oem mic? Will google assistant work? Can it be triggered by "ok google" or the steering wheel button? Will the screen change contrast or colours when the light state turned on? How bright is the screen? I am concerned about glare which is evident on a lot of screens. The oem one is good as it's recessed. Are there any modifications required or purely plug and play? Regards, Peter

Not a bad looking system. Any idea what the specs are like? Particularly the screen quality and resolution plus how readable is it when the sun is out. I might look into these in more details with things like does Google assistant work and hoe good the hands free is.

Thanks for the reassuring. I'll look into them when it gets worse again, or I need a clutch change.. Clutch has probably only done 20k so far I think, so hard to pull it out just yet.

Hadn't thought of that ?. Might stop putting things off, starting tomorrow.

Thanks for your replies. I was in a little panic seeing I had a perfectly good car off the road as of tomorrow if I didn't get it registered.

Well that worked a treat. Lights gone now. Rego passed with 1 day to go phew. Have since turned ignition on and off multiple times and it's stayed off. So good for now....

Reason I guess I didn't think too much is that the place is a general import dealer, so assumed they didn't have the proper Nissan consult software..

I hear you. Hope you're wrong, but fair point. Occasionally the passenger side window goes up and down when I open the driver's side (like it's meant to when the door opens). They told me that was just a matter of resetting the windows occasionally (the hold down and the hold up reset/calibration) but I'm thinking it's more than that and the system thinks the passenger door is open when I open the driver's door. Yep, gullible I know. Let's hope it's not an expensive mistake. The car was checked out by an independent assessor with compression checks done on the engine so I'm hopng the rest of it isn't hiding issues. I've had it for almost 2 years so I think I've found all the problems.

Oh. Good... Then turned bad. I'm hoping the Ecu hasn't been flashed then as that sounds like a headache. It's got no aftermarket mods so I'm assuming it's still the stock Ecu code.. Hopefully

Looks like there is hope for me still Although I'm not sure if this is guaranteed to work. Fingers crossed. Also a youtube version, but its for the G37 and its for the SRS airbag OK so there appears some hope with the

Model: V36 2009 I had this light on since I bought the car, originally being told it was just the bonnet light... But soon realised it was more than that, but at least it should just be a reset job as the light comes on when removing the front bar even... So I went to a Nissan dealership to get it reset (as the dealership I bought it from said they didn't have the equipment) to be told that they don't have the tools to do it. I haven't thought much since, and it went through rego last year fine. But this year it is now sitting at the rego place and he won't pass it with the light on. Any suggestions? I tried the Nissan dealership again and they said they ca't do imports. I told them that I thought that if they can scan the R35 GTR's they should be able to scan this. He said no they can't. I am really stuck now as it runs out of rego tomorrow. Anyone have any suggestions? I read about turning the ignition off and on in the right timing but I think that just send it to diagnostics mode yes, so will still need Nissan Consult hardware/software? I live in SW Sydney (Camden to be precise)
