Hey All,

My skyline came with a Carrozzeria DEH990 (35x4) head unit and a TV-XP7 and Sat Nav. The Sat Nav unit is a AVIC-G7. I cant find any documenation regarding the unit at all (in english that is). After some fiddling and research I've found that

-> Pioneer dont make an australian data CDROM for the Sat Nav unit so you can never get a map of Australia on it. Only a map of the current CD which is like Kyoto or something.

-> The TV unit is a standard LCD monitor with a Controller unit under the carpet in the passenger seat. On this unit is 4 inputs for each attenna (on the boot) and 3 RCA in's. L and R and Video. I have connected a Pioneer DVD player to this and it worked fine. The unit is a PAL based player and no problems were found at all.

-> The reception unit for the TV blows goats and I can only just get channel 9, hardcore fuzzy and scrolling. There is no option to get an Australian TV reception unit for this TV and setup. Only option would be some dodgy hack from Jaycar or an electronics freak. Doesn't phase me really. Im going to get a DVD/VCD Player anyway

I didnt expect any of this equipment to work so I didnt factor it into the price of the car at all.

Just some advice regarding the mystery Carrozzeria stuff

I am not sure regarding another CDROM of a different brand. The CD is standard ISO9660 format and can be read by a normal PC-CDROM drive. Here are some details regarding the CDrom DISC

On the front of the DISC

NAVI MAP DISC

CNCR-303

Satellite Cruising System CD-ROM

CARROZZERIA by Pioneer

Volume in drive F is PIONEER_NAVIGATION_DISC__NAVI001

Volume Serial Number is 5894-A007

Youll find this is because the TV requires an NTSC input signal. Yor DVD player I'm guessing output's as PAL and wont do NTCS. If you plug in a PAL device it will come up hardcore fuzzy and really trashy. You can sometimes if your lucky see something that may resemble whats supposed to be on the screen.

The best test I did was hook up a laptop via Video OUT on the laptop to Video IN on the controller box under the carpet in the passenger side. It had an NVidia GeForce on the laptop and when output was set to PAL it came out ****ed, changed it to NTSC and it was still pretty angry, then changed it to NTSC-J and it loved it. worked fine when it was NTSC-J

Yeah I got one as well. The TV is kinda cool how it folds out but its all in Jap. Is there any way at all to tune Australian TV? It has the TV antennae's on the back. And does the CD player and tv work together?

For example you can change the source on the CD Player to TV and the TV pops out. Also its cool how not all the lights go on when the car lights aren't on. You turn the car lights on and everything else on the CD player turns on :P

Cool feature.... anyone know anything more what we can do with these?

Mine has like a box in the boot for it and a box under the passenger seat with Carrozzeria written on it. It seems like it's taken over the car. heh :D

Im still playing with mine. Might look at buying a DVD/VCD player for it soon for something to fiddle with. Or some crazy engine management system made by some electronics feak not sure.

Anyone know the price for a full TV/Sat Nav system with GPS tracker for an R33

I've got one for sale if anyone is interested :)

All works, just the sat nav brings up a map of japan

I've got a similar unit. Carrozzeria AVIC DR2000. Its voice activated or uses a remote. Guess what, I don't have the remote. And I don't know japanese. Arrggghhhh! Does anyone know what I can do about this? I contact pioneer australia and they couldn't help with anything. Any one have an mp3 of japanese voice commands?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
