on par. GPS wise.blau lacks the 3d mapping but the blau has a AV in that can be used for a multitude of things that the garmin/kenwood does not . it also supports a reverse camera as well.

hmm interesting.. i was a bit disappointed that the blaupunkt did not do 3d mapping as i mentioned via PM. i've gotten used to that style on my PDA version tomtom..

how do they compare cost wise, and in temrs of installation? easy for you to get your hands on chris?

this website has an instaleld setup and it seems pretty good: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/archive/ind...hp/t-74166.html

i know you've already got the blaupunkt unit there, but i'm just thinking in terms of my setup as i've already got the reverse camera, and i don't need the extra AV inputs as i've already got the TV/DVD potentially sorted through the TV tuner AV input..

seems there's a GVN53 out now too..

doesn't look that different though from the spec sheet, only advantage over GVN52 seems to be XM and traffic stuff

Hey guys, i got this reply from Ryda.com.au if its any help tp any one.

Hi Angelo

Most factory vehicles have there own factory design plugs and configuration, most aftermarket brands like Kenwood you can only use there head units to run there own GPS Nav units.

There is a brand that has a regular RCA Video out from the GPS Nav to plug into a unit with RCA Video. The GPS Brand is a Nesa model NAV-12 unit with remote control and GPS antenna that has 2D 3D and birds eye viewing Normally priced at $999.00 our price is $699.00 plus freight if need of $17.95.

Now probably the original screen has no RCA video out so this wont work, if the unit can be taken out and taken to aftermarket electronics wiz he could ad an Video out of you would need to check first if they will do this there is one Company that does this to BMW Mercedes and others he is based in Sydney and the name is Nam Electronic Services in Marrickville Sydney PH: 0295504144 in the name of Nam Nguyen you could ask him if its possible.

The first question is the aux input is this just audio which is a good start all we need is a RCA video input feed out as well.

Thank you in your enquiry hope our info was helpful.

Regards,

Dennis Beroukas

wycky,

the aftermarket "black box" or "hideaway" type of units (such as we are looking at here) are all designed to be used with and OEM screen. that was the reason for their inception in the first place.

this includes units from garmin, blaupunkt, vdo, etc

its just a matter of finding the one that has the interface and mapping that you like

in regards to the factory aux inputs, well there is video, audio L and audio R so its completely normal in that regards if you want to plug it into the aux input

if you want to wait for chris to finish developing his plug+play then you will find that you can plug it into the stock nav loom so that it is activated like the normal nav and your aux input is free for a dvd/tv etc

this won't be too far away now..

the nesa version was one I originally looked at. it does RGB out. I have the pinning or it here and it was the original cable I had built O/s. nice to see ryda doing the right thing :P on price.

mapping on it is 3d like the garmin unit. the garmin has one advantage over it. the STOCK GPS antenna is a plug in affair. the rest is not but in my case thats not an issue.

Waz,

remember the pearl 35 I had a few days back - its staying here a few more days :) so I'm going to strip it and make more notes :D

I'm making a call to garmin now btw.

Does anyone know if the same goes with the 350z?

A friend of mine just bought a personaly imported 350 with sat nav and is wondering how to get the unit to work here in australia.

He is willing to go aftermarket but would just like to explore this option before doing so.

    • 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.
