Nobby, we don't know each other, not that it's at all relevant. We're all busy here, in our own way - perhaps some more so than others. Regardless, we've all taken the time to do the same homework th

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)

This is something I dont get, why the heck is the compass off... North is still north whether you're in the sourthern or northern hemisphere... :thumbsup:

my bad... coming into conclusion too early... I went off to do some quick search... I think most of us didn't realise there are Northern Hemisphere Compass and Southern Hemisphere Compass... so it may use some sort of magnetic compass and/or combination of GPS....

That was a very good question...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass

So there are two versions of compass made... the ones on our V35 are the northern version

Compass works 100% and is accurate.

And it seems to have a point near the city it wants to get to.

Surely someone else's must work

Are you all located closer to the equator (e.g. QLD) or where?

I'm in VIC and mine don't work properly...

Well I'm in Melb and it didn't work properly... I read about if northern hemisphere compass is used in the south, it needs to be tilted in a way for it to work, the reason is because the earth magnet is actually pulling downwards towards the core, not towards the north/south pole in a kind of way... so the further south I am from the equator the harder it is for the northern hemisphere compass to work properly...

not sure if that sounds kind of logic, but if this is true, then QLD V35 owners should have your compass working properly...

Thanks Matt ,Howd go with that vid ?

"INFO" Button - 4th button. has trip computer options/ Fuel cons/Dist to MT/ ave speed etc fiist two options/ Third option is the 4 Service meters, forth option is FM tuner. Nothing else there.

Third Button "MENU" Button does nothing on mine. So I guess this is same problem everyone else is having. (unless u need navi dvd in) Mines an 11/2005 premium.May have to catch up at the next 350GT meet and compare if I can make it.

sydney

and compass is the bottom of the first column in the menu part. 4th button across to get to that menu

Ok I was driving out tonight and the compass works BUT it was off by 90 degree...

For example if I am facing South, it will point West, if I am facing east, it wlil point South....

How do I fix this... anyone know if there is a 'sensor' box under the dash that I can perhaps turn sideways 90 degree to fix it?

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
