SHORT ANSWER = NO

LONG ANSWER =

I should start by saying... the inputs are NTSC for TV and dont pick up aussie tv except channel 7.. and then its scrambled cos of the NTSC versus PAL. Second Xanavi do not manufacture any maps at all for australia so you will be lost in japan somewhere.

after pulling everything out of mine.. i realised there is an INPUT in the boot.

It is RCA... but the assumption is it has to be NTSC signal.

So an option you have is....

put a carputer in the boot and RCA output from that into the boot input.

then switch the system to VTR1 or VTR2... cant remember which.. the input on the front of the navigation system is vtr1 i think..

anyways whichever input gives you picture is the one you want.

that way you can use the factory screen with a touchpad or something and use it for everything a carputer can offer like GPS/divx/mp3 etc..

Only drawback is you will be using the factory stereo for audio as the navigation etc all pipes in through the factory decks AUX input.

You could use some line level converters etc as found on the CAA forums to add amplifiers and still have a decent sounding setup.

OR

You can remove everything and try to fit another screen into the factory console area, but you will lose the motorised flip up.

but this way you wont need NTSC signals just use normal PAL. and thenyou can replace your headunit etc etc..

For all the costs.. i would look at car computers as a means of using the double din space under the navigation system for a nice touchscreen.

Also if you choose to remove the screen and want a double din space you need the climate control from an r34 with the triple gauges and the double din surround etc..

well i hope this is detailed enough...

enjoy..

If you are talking about the GTR MFD (multi funtion display), possible to put Video in, then you use the stero for the sound.

At Suncoast Rustproofing we offer that service, we install tv tuner and the RCA jack

Thanks for all the help guys!! just one last thing.... do you know how much aprox will all this cost? and is it worth it? I prob woudln't care so much about the nav/gps but i wouldn't mind having the tv/video functions to work. i don't want to buy a car with the special features that don't work! If i do buy the car (i live in brisbane) where should i take it for the work to be done???

I'm looking for a 4 door turbo (gtt). Don't care if it's manual or auto. What do the 3 gauges read? Are they your cars on the pics? Sweet rides! If you don't mind me asking... how much did you pay for your 4 door? and what have you done to it? i notice the body kit, did that come with the car?

the 3 gauges read boost, voltmeter and oil temp. Thanks yeah the 4dr is mine, the kit is a factory option tht came with the car. Haven't done much power wise. Apexi catback, wheels, eyelids and bonnet lip :yucky: Got it for around 30k a year and half ago...u should be able to find a similar model for around 25k nowadays...mine is a 99 model tiptronic auto.

if you want to persist with teh screen idea - see me..

x5??? you mean BMW x5????

I can tell you anything you need to know on bmw's and specially on x5's as i work on bmw's for a living! I just wish i had the money to afford one! that'll be a nice upgrade if you do go down that track!

Sorry to hijack. Yeah, BMW X5. Any known problems with the Turbo Diesel 2004 - 05 models??

Try to stay away from the first diesel x5's.... Nothing wrong with them but lots of turbo lag and engine's kinda noisy for a diesel. If you don't mind those things then go for it! They have lots of torque... the latest (05> New engine) has more power, less lag! I would say they would almost keep up with the 4.4 V8. The x5 family are actually the ones with the least problems from the bmw range. Oh yeah.... If you ever go and test one and notice slow crank when first started it's not the batt... it's the starter motor. Make sure it's been replace only if it has that problem... only 50% of the ones i've worked on have had that problem and yes it should be covered by warranty if it's within 2-3year old!

Thanks for the headsup. Much appreciated.

ah ok..

i opened up the inside of my one and make it work without the deck using different switch i took of the screen aswell so its empty casing and put my gps inside..

i think you can get screen bout the same size and put into the empty casing..

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
