    Our New 2005 Stagea 350Rx

    in Wagoneers

    Posted

    Whats the button underneath RPT Do?

    Looks like Bluetooth for mobile phone.

    I saw a button on the right of the steering wheel kinda near the bonnet release, it says Clean and ION on it. Has a little blue LED. Whats this do/mean... (I will post photo later)

    Ioniser. It releases negative Ions into the cabin (a good thing)

    Does anyone know if the rubber boot mat/protector things are a common thing seen on eBay or Yahoo Auctions? I'd be pretty keen on getting one as we have two Golden Retrivers who like to roll with us, and they are hairy, messy, on crack dogs, so a bit of protection in there from them would be nice. Worst case I can go to a Rubber joint and get one made.

    Is the same item as on the series 1 models.

    See them on Yahoo from time to time, but would probably be easier/cheaper to get one made up.

    Nice car man :)

    Thanks for the help. Yeah, I'm assuming it'd be easier to get one made.

    Looks lowered already? Nice stagea!

    Yeah it has been lowered also :) Looks a bit better lower haha...Everything looks better lower

    Very nice :thumbsup: .

    Another air bag light eh? I hope that gets reset easily.

    Oh gawd, that sounds promising...not.

    Rpt doesnt that mean repeat

    Underneath the RPT button :)

    Well, we ended up getting our Stagea...In fact our second M35, after buying and selling one last year...

    Purchased from Northshore Prestige, and dealt with the Director Ben. Ben was nothing but helpful, and was a pleasure to deal with. I instantly recommend if you are after a Stagea, see them...No one else!

    All I'm going to say to start is, it's a f**king amazing car. I absolutely love it, and my wife (it's her car) is pretty much in love with the car more than me... lol

    Car has pretty much the standard stuff (I presume)

    Leather Interior, The SatNav, Dual Sunroofs, and some nice Work rims. Unfortunately it has no cruise control :( ... It also has a different steering wheel than most I've seen, not that "T" shaped wheel that most Stageas have. This has a woodgrain and leather one. I actually saw a newer El Grand with this wheel....I like it.

    Here are some photos I've just taken. I shall take some more, as the weather is woeful here atm...

    Ok some Questions I have about this car...

    • Anyone know roughly what the buttons in Japanese do? I mean I can read TV and Carwings, but the others I have no damn clue.

    • Whats the button underneath RPT Do?

    • We have an aftermarket Stacker in the back. It has no cartridge, but it is connected to something via RCA (Red, White, Yellow) plugs, and the standard headphone (3.5mm?) audio jack. I'm assuming it goes to the Headunit, or Tuner or something. I was wondering, assuming it is connected properly, could I connected something to the RCA Plugs and get it to work? Say iPod or something? I have the appropriate cables, just lack the knowledge of the Stereo/Headunit to see if it would work. I had a little play, but don't know anything. I managed to get it to AUX, but nothing seemed to work, but I dunno.

    • On the way home from Sydney, about halfway an airbag light started flashing. I spoke to Ben, he seemed to think a low voltage, or something may have caused this. He said to go to an Auto-Elec and they should be able to hook up to it with a diagnostic tool to clear it. Anyone know much on this? (He said to send him the bill, as I have to go there to get another thing looked at)

    • What is the best way to get Australian TV working in this beast? I read something about Tuners, but not sure which is which, and if things apply different to Series II (Can you get tuners that have AUX inputs and such)

    At this point that is all...

    Except I love this car.

    Good stuff?

    Was it the white one?

    http://www.northshor..._Wagon/4686780/

    That is a damn nice Stagea IMO

    Yeah, that's the one. Good guess lol. Looks really good. Keen to go check it out, and hopefully buy it!

    Hey Hey!

    Another in the section. I don't have to be so lonely any more. :cheers:

    Is it AWD or RWD? Look forward to meeting up next time we get together!

    Yeah, I've not seen many people with PM next to their 35 on here lol...

    This is the car.

    Hey Guys, got a couple more questions...

    The Bose Stereo, does that have an AUX input?

    Is there much of a handling difference between the AWD to the RWD models? The 250t I had stuck to the road incredibly wheel (my first turbo/awd car) so just curious.

    Is there much differences between an AXIS and 350RX?

    I'm looking at a couple at the moment, and just trying to narrow down which ones I'd like, then drive to Syd-hole to check them out.

    I'm not doubting them, but the cars at Northshore Prestige, KM's are all legit and all that? I checked their cars out before, and was happy with them, but buying an import, I just get f**king nervous. Any things I should look out for?

    Thanks again guys.

    The language conversion is being worked on but still a few things to be solved before available. I thought I would have it available by now but still some difficult issues.

    The performance is not quite so kick in the pants but it is very close.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Can you still use the stereo and all that without the conversion (sorry for the dumb question)

    Ah sweet, was just curious, I'll be happy either way, Turbo or NA. I just want a Stagea again...lol

    Thanks for the prompt reply mate.

    Yeah, cruise control isn't a must, I know I can get it fitted at a later date, so that's not a huge drama.

    Yeah, I'm looking at going through Northshore if we do decide to buy one, as our last outing with another Importer was alright, just not as good as it could of been. I've spoken to Ben, and he said they won't be importing any 350s' at all, so that cuts that out lol...

    Performance wise, anyone know if there is a great difference between the Turbo 2.5L and the NA 3.5L?

    Howdy Folks,

    Long time since I been around these parts. Well, we been thinking of upgrading the wifes car lately, and Stagea's popped up into my head.

    I loved the old 250t I had, even though it was for a short period of time.

    Anyway, I just wanted to ask a couple of questions.

    Looking at getting a Series II (hopefully Axis) for her. Something nice, and modern, and full of options, as it would be our primary car.

    Just curious, how common are options such as Sunroof, Cruise Control, Pop-Up screen etc.

    Also does anyone know much about the Manual 350s (is that right). I would be really interested in checking it out...

    Also, is the Language conversion available for the Series II, according to xanavi.com.au, it's only available for Series I

    Thanks, in advance.

    yeah, i found this

    i went over it, it looked fine, then a few months later problem after problem.

    i guess thats why they are so cheap .

    I really feel sorry for you dude.

    After all the dramas I went through visiting heaps of dealers, I was so close just going "f**k it, I'll buy it." Glad I didn't.

    I feel for you man.

    After all the shit I went through trying to buy an M35, I don't know if I would do it again hey.

    All the dealers lying to you, mislabelling shit, don't know what's legit and not (except a quality dealer like Northshore)

    Well I was very unhappy with the whole scenario at the place in question...

    If you aren't an expert with cars, and are naive, you can get trapped easy. I just had a bad gut feeling when I went there. I get sick thinking about if I bought from them...f**k

    LMAO at the eBay listing, BUSINESS NAME REMOVED BY MODERATOR.

    That explains a lot.

    I went there to check out the M35's they had. I am so glad I did not buy from them. Operating out of some little rent a shed thing, with no sign-age...
