I didnt rule it out. its the CAN stuff thats screws with things. don't worry I'm working on it. I'll need a '05 for a guinea pig as well. not for a few weeks yet. 04 back I have covered. this solution is for NAV ONLY! (I'm sorting the TV another way.)
I do. as I said I'm 90% through it now. once I get it fully sorted and tested you will be the first to know. only hting I'm unsure on are the later V35s with CAN driven units. going to try a M35 as well.
Unsure what you mean here. usually if the pop up screen is there then all of the above is there.
as for the GT8 versions - unsure. most of mine have been coupes.
I'm 90% through a plug and play interface for nav for these so given a bit more time and it will be done. that will take car of the nav.
as for english menus - look at the G35. I'm working on this as well. though I still have a bit more to do there.
all fun and games with these things.
tom,
putting this in for the ones that 'think' they can do this. the later ones are CAN. I know about the CAN lines into the TV unit. those lines also loop through the NAV and toll card.
you and I know what we are looking at - most here probably do not.
it will be written on the front on the DVD/nav unit. its locked to japan though so its useless unless you code the DVD correctly.
I'm also working on a PnP solution for those on htis side of the country.
watch the build date. anything after 11/03- no compliance nor emmissions. I have two customers here with them and they are sitting idle unable to be driven or registered.
