give them a call.

you need:

which for them *MAY* be a special order but they are able to get it.

Chris,

thanks.

Chris,

Got a cable from the US which is for iPod input so I'm going to try this once the 3ft of Snow I have outside goes down!

If I get this to work I should be able to get a video signal in aswell which should allow me to see about a GPS unit in the

boot to work through the existing display.

I'm also wondering if I got a US spec. DVD drive would that give me english display?

pepsi..

this thread Is getting a little old, but I just got my v35 coupe. :action-smiley-069:

I have read the full thread, but cannot remember seeing the instructions / photos of how to cut the two wires behind the standard nav unit to enable the AUX video to stay on while moving. :unsure: If anyone can point me to it, it would be much appreciated.

Hi John, check out Pete82's post on page 10 of this thread. I think this is the easiest way to achieve what you're after. Get back to me if you want more info.

Do you have a digital tuner for you V35 yet? Let me know if you need one.

Cheers, Leon.

Thanks Leon, I have no real plan for TV, for now. I really just want audio. And maybe an OBDII reader after that.

I can recommend the Greddy Informeter as a good reader for these cars.

I think I would be looking at going for something integrated with the Carputer such as the Blazt cable and software. But that is after I get the audio system setup (ie a media centre style PC).

I installed the AUX cable I got from Chris on the weekend (and also did a conversion with Andy, and a tint), and got a bit of an unexpected free bonus.

The previous talk of how the AUX does not work by default while in motion, is actually only for the video, the audio keeps playing; i completely missed that. So, until I get my car-pc set up, I have an MP3 player connected to AUX in. It's actually pretty supprising that the audio from the MP3 keeps playing while you are in one of the standard screens (eg fuel consumption) My 6-stacker CD player is jammed, and AM radio was not putting me in a happy place.

Hey Chris,

I've got a 2001 M35 and I'm going to put in a dvd headunit and want to hook it up to the OE screen. Was wondering if you still have the harness that connects to the AUX socket on the tuner to the RCA sockets? If you do, what would be the cost of getting one over to NZ? Otherwise I'll just gash it up to the pins.

If I was to just connect to the pins, I'm assuming the ground pin and shield pin are common?

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex

The shield / braid of both the audio wires (red & white) are connected together. The shield of the video (yellow) is on a separate pin.

This is the layout of the white socket on your tuner:

1________6

2__3__4__5

1 - audio right (red - inner conductor)

2 - audio left (white - inner conductor)

3 - audio ground (shield of both red & white above)

4.- video (yellow - inner conductor)

5 - not used

6 - video shield (yellow - outer sheild)

I hope this helps

Leon.

did the upgrade today using both ends of an unused PC cd audio cable and some rca fittings i had lying around - perfect fit! trialled with xbox360

total cost = 0

now to just get rid of the tv clock display....

What are people using to switch between a reverse camera, and a tuner or DVD player, both going into the AUX socket? I am thinking of making a two wire relay switch (off the reverse lights), but thought there must be a more elegant method already in use?

That will work if you do it that way. You can also get the tuner and have an extra yellow RCA added inside the tuner so its hidden you still need a relay.

When i opened up the TV Tuner, i found that there are 2 pins on the circuit board from the main plug that have CONT 1 and Cont 2 written on the PCB.

So i connected a relay off the reverse lights whichs ground the CONT 1 Pin therefore automatically switching in the reverse camera when placed into reverse.

post-55164-1244435121_thumb.jpg

So, if I am reading this right, these two points on the circuit board actually come out of the box in the main cable? I would prefer to splice/solder something outside of the box. Anyone know anymore detail as to which wire(s) it is?

I am also looking for an "ignition on" wire, in the boot. My plan is to simply get out my multimeter, and test each of the pins in each of the TV plugs, unless someone can point me in the direction of a better idea?

I cant remember which wires are C1 or C2 but you could take the tuner out and remove the cover to see which pin goes to what wire. Could be quicker option than waiting for a reply. Also a MM will do the trick to find main power and acc and yes its in the main plug.

Thanks guys, hopefully by the end of today the actual install of the Computer will be done; I think I have software 90% there. With the reversing camera and OBDII integration being next; software alreadey up and runnong.

I bought a CCD NTSC reversing camera off eBay, and will need to create a relay box to switch over the video, when in reverse.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
