Hey Frank,

Would you consider doing another car? Mine is the 05, non BOSE but should be similar. I'm in Syd as well.

PM me if you like on how long it will take and your price.

I can take everything apart and help you as well, but am pretty hopeless with the rest of it.

Cheers

Bobby

hi

any suggestions for those of us that already have a reversing camera (and my wife will kill me if i disable it cos she uses it everytime:) )

ok - have done one with a camera. fairly straight forward . camera still functions and DVD (source) works when not in reverse. cannot remember if audio switches out with camera on.

someone remap the FKN virtual buttons on these things! both of us had problems finding the AUX in on the screen.

DVD playing- DVD is encoded in PAL. hence colour issue.

TV box - clarion box in corner is the camera switch box - for those without cameras I believe I can still make this work so you gain a reverse camera.

car in reverse looking up our horrible driveway..

there ya go- it does work.

(ta WAZ!)

man that's one sexy car!

it works great - when the aux input is playing, and you throw it in reverse, the audio doesn't cut but the video does. works well.

but i just realised that i don't have the ability to watch it whilst in drive, only when i'm at a stop.

does anyone have one of those boxes that cuts out the factory sensor for the brake so you can watch the screen while driving?

cheers chris. ive had a read of g35driver.com and it might be as simple as unplugging and grounding one wire that goes to the foot-brake, but i'm not 100% sure. i will also have a look this afternoon.. but i don't want to screw up some other electrics by removing a wire..

if its only the park brake then its no biggie, but if it also monitors the speed sensor then it might be an issue cutting that..

Thanks Frank for this, but do you have the photo that go along with the original post, they are not coming up....

For your reference I have found someone elses photos of a DVD System mod here:

http://photofile.ru/users/yura7264/

Using a "Mystery" DVD player...

Photos are working again now.... slowly but they do show up....

How is the video in Activated?

Edited by GTS4nMore

video will show up under VTR. select TV then VTR input. from there it will work if you have done every thing correctly.

it will not work witht eh IGN on UNLESS the handbrake is on and the car is stopped. driving the car shuts the video off at 5kmh.

I finally rigged mine up today and my video only stays on the screen for maybe 5 seconds and then it dissappears and some jap writing comes up. This was with the IGN on or car running, in park and handbrake on. As soon as I took the hb off the video dropped and audio continued, but the damn video kept dissappearing after a short timeout. Is this a user setting somehow? I noticed an option button in the VTR screen but it didnt make a difference. I have attached some pics of what Ive done.

PS for my cabling i used the wires from a 4 pin floppy drive power connector and some insulation tape - perfect :P Finding a suitable plug was too hard.

Hi Jaik, its the display option. Press the 1st button on the 2nd row to go into the Display menu. Scroll down to the second option (should be 3 options available) then press enter to disable it.

Cheers

I have set up my Stagea ARX with this RCA input and I have found that I can play the movies whilst driving. On my car it seems related to the setting of the GPS.

By playing with the GPS menu (right hand top button) I have found that I can have the GPS active or static. What I mean is that when the GPS is active it tracks me across the japanese map (although this is obviously wrong). I have found that I can make the GPS static, it does not track me accross the map but does show the direction I am heading. When it is in this mode the movies will play all the time.

When the GPS is active, the movies will only play with the hand brake on.

Very strange but great result.

Andy

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
