try using the search button mate, its been coverered many many times before.

I believe its been "covered" before, but not really 100% solved.

TV is easy enough, just get a portable (DC/battery powered) tv tuner that reads PAL signal and outputs to NTSC.

But apparently satnav is not possible to get working here because no maps are available for Australia, and the company has no plans to support Australia or convert the satnav to english.

I've got one of those units and if anyone finds out how to get the satnav working I also would like to know.

But as far as I know it cant be done. probably cheaper to just get an australian satnav system anyway.

Thanks for the link Andy, I obviously screwed up much search. DOH!

I have spoken to one guy in sydney who can do digital tv and satnav. I think he just replaces the tv and nav units but keeps the xanavi screen and controls.

I'll ring him and do a bit more ringing around, will let you know how I go. I thought a lot of the stagea owners with xanavi's would have converted them.

I don't think there's that many owners with the Xanavi units in their cars.

Stage Fright - I would be very interested to know who it is doing the work and how much they charge.

Digital TV is going to be best for the Xanavi screen because of the widescreen format.

I'll call him on monday and let you know how I go. Are you interested in including satnav, I would like to do a group buy if there's enough interest.

Yeah let us know how you go, I have one and would like to know what can be done, not stressed about TV but sat nav would be interesting.

Cheers

Yeah would be very interested in SatNav and preferably digital TV (Standard Definition).

With the SatNav I would also be interested to know what system it would be based on?

What maps would you use with it and how would you load the maps?

Given the Xanavi is touch screen, would the satnav component work through the screen?

Etc etc?

Would this guy also be able to flash the ROM's so we could convert them to English?

Would also like to be able to install a DVD Audio/Video head unit in place of the current HU (underneath the Xanavi display) and have it play DVD's to the screen. I don't know if this is possible as I haven't pulled out the Xanavi to see if it has a video input but it would be great.

Cheers Stage Fright!!

The screen needs to see a ntsc signal so unless the dvd headunit you get goes via a pal to ntsc converter it won't work, i am yet to buy a converter but i can play ntsc sony games on my ps2 thru it, and ntsc episodes of futurama i converted on my PC. hope that helps.

converted mine to digital TV, bit of an epic, through the VTR2 rca inputs on the tuner box in the boot, using a STRONG 12V digital box and an NTSC converter and tapping into the fatory aerials in the rear windows, note: these aerials have 12V amplifiers, small silver boxes, and only activated when in TV mode, not VTR mode, so they had to be given a 12V feed to get a good reception, worth it though. but would love to get the SATNAV working, keep me informed.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
