Andy mate any news ?

I am hoping to have some screen shots of the other pages that are being converted in the next week but the complete conversion pack will not be ready before Dec.

We are in the hands of the developer and he is running behind. Sorry guys, we all want this badly including me.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Guys

The developer has given me a photos of the conversion for the first few screens. These are shots from actual conversions.

The conversion to English is on going and I am hoping may be ready in December but be assured it is happening and I have got used to having English on my first few screens and take it for granted now but I am sure you will all be happy with the result when it is complete.

The opening screens is a mock up with the SUA logo and will have a different logo at the completion.

The fuel consumption screen has been changed to liters per 100km.

Cheers

Andy

LOL! Nice economy Andy!!

Looks great. Can't wait.

On the start screen, it states that there is no Disc. Will we have to have a disc in the DVD ROM at all times (not really an issue, just curious)?

Love the conversion to L/100km :D

Lastly, do you know if we will be downloading from a site & burning to DVD or will we be ordering and having a DVD shipped to us?

If shipped. Put me down for 2 please.

Awesome cant wait for it Andy.

I think it means no disc is inserted for the sat nav not the translation CD.

Figured as much...

Andy, I have access to the Aussie maps on a Toyota Disc... Can't be updated though.

Do you know if it would be possible for the guys to fiddle to allow Toyota DVD's to play in the Nissan DVDROM?

I know it would end up being expensive ($400 for updated DVD from Toyota), but at least Sat Nav could be possible?

Not my economy.... thank god.

I think the disc is about the GPS disc. You will not have to leave the conversion disc in the unit.

He is working on a web page where you will be able to download the conversion and burn your own disc.

The aim is that the you will make payment and then you will be given an access code to download the conversion part 1. The 2nd part of the conversion is then created from a unique security code that is generated by the first disc. This ensures each disc is only able to be used for 1 conversion.

I hope to have more definate news soon.

I will ask the question but I am not sure.

Are we suppose to be putting our names down now? if so I'm up for one too thanks! :P

Nah, looks like the web address will be posted here when it is completed & we will purchase from that, enter our unique code, download the software, burn it onto a DVD and insert into the car's DVDROM (above glovebox).

I would not hold your breath for the GPS system to work or be converted. There are many difficult and legal problems to be overcome before this could even be a possibility so the short answer is I can not see it being possible.

is there any way to have the factory unit still working along with another unit for GPS through the same screen?

all the units i have seen so far replace the factory sat nav

i want to relocate the factory sat nav to the boot, and replace the stock position with an aftermarket sat nav.

or if all else fails, i will rip it all out and custom mount some stuff in there and just go with something else

I am pretty sure this can be done by Chris. Not sure of the location of the units exactly but I am pretty sure he has done it...

Can anyone correct me if I am wrong!

Best you PM Chris, he will either say Yes or No!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
