cd player works(original cd's only)

radio works from 80-90

yep buy a local version. no real way to do it cheaply which is really what you are asking.

if it was an OE one I would have a crack at it. (Its not so I won't.)

hmm,so does that mean that it can be done,im not so concerned about the dvd player or tv,as i dont watch it while i drive ,or just sit in the car,just to watch it ,its more the radio,navigation, i was told that i can buy some thing to get the radio channels expanded,is that true?????

what would be your idea of cheap???, i had a look at the local version,at the time they told me around $3.000for gps nav,dvd,mini dics,tv,mp3,radio

it cannot be done. buy a local one.

HAY CHRIS

do you know if it's possible to hook up external mp3 player /ipod to the systen above

i had an external mp3 player hooked up to my last system in think i was a kenwood but i had to get a FM modulator

to be able to use it

i realise this system's different but l though i would ask before i pull half the car apart just to find out

it wont work

or anyone eles done anything similar

THANKS

Hey mate,

I have the higher spec'd version the AVN7707 Eclipse which came in my R34...also has MD, DVD, SAT NAV and TV but obviously the TV, DVD and SAT NAV don't work. Mine has a line out option which I plug my media player in to play movies, MP3s etc etc...its under the VTR option if yours has it...

To get the radio to work, just by an FM expander...Chris should be able to sort you out in tht dept. They're a nice unit, just pity not all the functions work in OZ.

AH SWEET .Yeah i got mine when i got my car aswell about 4years ago,just really never the time to pull it out to have a look at it

i got them to fix the radio when i bought the car,so that part's sweet

This VTR option you speek of,i take it its at the back,any ideas were,just asking,i'm sure i'll see when i

pull it out here's a pic i pulled from the wab

Hay i no with mine,while i was living in surface (surface paradise) i got tv reception,i used to watch some sort

of discovery channel while i was stuck in traffic(no sound though)

When u select TV, there should be an option on screen called VTR which I think is equivalent to ur AV function on normal TVs...I can hook up pretty much anything to this eg: PS2, media player, laptop etc...and it will display under the VTR function.

[SMOKE'M]

yeah im with ya now

i pulled it out today,hooked it up all sweet

also realised i dont have a FM expander i have a japanese to english FM converter (made in new zealand) go figer

thanks for all the info mate
