ok here we go.im going to get me a stagea and have been looking at the ones with the satnav system.i know the satnav is usless here but im looking at prob replacing it with a double din setup.and looking at it in the pics posted by jspec it seems to be a standard double din size with the ac controls next to it.if this is the case i would be able to put a double din radio or a standard one and a dvd setup as well as have room for a gauge setup like andy has. so looks like i could fit 3 standard din items as well as the ac controls. well i spose ive confusled ya all now lol but im sure one of you know what i mean .

thanks all regards mike..........

ah i see, as long as the climate control is not attached to the sat nav then you shouldnt have any problems...other than some tricky bracket work in there, although im sure that a car audio store could sort that out for you

Mike

If you buy that car or another one with Sat nav, and then decide to pull it out, I will have these bits spare.

I am only going to use the gauges in my S2.

I have also attached a picture of the rear of the Sat Nav and AC and it looks to be all one piece

I have that set up in my S1 (must have been optioned up in a big way) and the AC controls are part of the sat nav, the biggest issue is that it is a touch screen and you contol most of the heating/cooling functions (Fan Speed) through it! I am sure you could replace it with the AC controls that are found in Stagea's without the screen but could be interesting...

I think I will try to repalce the lower Din radio part with an A/M MP3 CD tuner but will need to have an AUX input on it if I want to use the screen for anything and be able to have sound.

Screen folds forward too, there is a single disc CD player behind there!

If only it all worked here...

Let me know what you end up doing if you get one as I will be very intersted to know what can be done.

Cheers

Luke

You could also get a single-DIN head unit with a fold-out screen, then use one DIN slot for the standard a/c and the other for gauges.

Getting a navigation device (hidden under a seat or in the boot) with AV outputs is then the next step, and you'll have the whole lot sorted without major dash surgery.

Your best bet is either to contact some of the bigger and more reputable car audio installers/suppliers or try some of the specialist electronics places like JayCar, etc.

Finding a fold-out screen is easy, and there are plenty around from Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, Clarion, Sony, and some of the smaller brands like NESA, etc. Then it's just a matter of finding a navigation set-up to suit.

Most of the navigation stuff here is of the stand-alone variety, like the NAVMAN, ToMTom, Garmin, etc. The one in-dash one that I can think of available here is from VDO-Dayton, but even then it would take up two DIN spaces, unless you mount the control box with the DVD or CD reader (depending on your choice) under your seats.

Alpine do have navigation stuff available, but it's o/seas only...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
