I have a question

How is it uploaded?

In the CD player?

Or in the DVD player?

What if you have had the DVD player converted to work in OZ will it upload through it?

The software is updated via the DVD rom above the glove box in the V35 & M35.

If you have removed the DVD rom then you will probably not have all the features to convert the language anyway as that DVD rom box is also the computer that controls all those functions.

Are you 100% that the dvd-rom also houses the computer... I have an aftermarket dvd-player replacing the old dvd-rom and i still have full functionality of my computer. The only thing missing is the sat nav functionality.. I'm hoping that I can still get the translation even without the old dvd-rom...

Yeah my computer still works. the only thing that doesn't work is the Japan only functions. Like road works updates and traffic problems ahead warnings.

UPDATE:

I spoke to the developer recently and he is focusing on finishing the project off. His best estimate was that he should be ready to test in 4 weeks but as this is new there still may be some unexpected technical issues to resolve.

I would hope to be able to have a product ready in the next gew months.

Thank you all for your patience.

I am sure that the software is upgraded via the DVD rom. My understanding is that this box also has the computer that runs other functions. Is it possible that the DVD rom was placed somewhere else in your car?

If you do not have the DVD rom I do not know if there will be any way of upgrading that language. I will see what I can find out.

Hi Andy,

Any idea on costs and timing at this stage??

Thanks

Jas

Hi Jas,

I should be able to estimate a cost soon.

With our current exchange rate the cost has gone up as the developer sells the software in US $.

I will try to give you an answer this week.

Cheers

Wow, Went through the whole topic as I was about to purchase a double din kit and installing a Pioneer head unit for my 2004 V35GT. Just bought it from a private seller, the car is getting alot of attention.

Having the factory head unit in english will certainly be a good thing if the price is right, please add me to your list Andy, would love to hear from you when you get this thing done. By the way you said that it wont work on some 2004 models, how do I know that it will work on mine?

I believe the cut off for the change of software on the V35 is 10/2004. Hope that helps.

Hi Andy just noticed the message below..that caused a big Doohhh--software developer not looking at anything after 04 ??. The functions on mine 11/05- looks the same is the firmware that different ?.

Any chance developer will look at them further down the track ? Cheers

QUOTE (Stel @ 9 Jan 2009, 09:02 AM) post_snapback.gifHi Guys,

Any idea if this translation will be compatible with an 06' model v35?

Or if there are any other options in any case?

Thanks

We don't believe it will be. At this stage we believe it will only work up to late 2003 or early 2004 models.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy,

To make up the numbers, put me down for the translation CD also.

I have followed this threat for a while as I was thinking of purchasing a V35, I have finally made the offer and paid the deposit on a 2003 V35 (non premium unfortunately but a great price).

I have been in touch with Chris also in relation to converting the Radio, TV, buttons, etc, etc, etc!

Looking forward to the final word on the translation!!!

Cheers,

Juan Pablo

the development of the English conversion beyond 10/04 is dependent on the number of cars imported into Russia that would justify him working out the code to do the translation.

I would think it is only a matter of time till there is enough demand from his home market but currently he is fully committed to finish the current conversion.

I am sure he will look at other systems as soon as he has completed the current project.

Cheers

Andy

  • 2 weeks later...

Sorry wasn't sure if had already but I'd like to put my name down too please... :thumbsup:

Also just wondering, I've had an unsuccessful search about the place and couldn't find anything about the Compas option in the menu.

I've noticed that it is way off! does anyone know if there is anyway of adjusting this somewhere?

Compas will be off because we're in southern hemisphere, while it is originally built for northern hemisphere car...

Can't do anything about it as far as i know - chris roger has told me before it will be off...

If you have kids just lie to your kids that it's correct (or if you have directionally-challenged mates)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
