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???

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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
