Yep. The board crashed (due to a failed RAID controller) and Christian's had to rebuild his database. At first I thought I got kicked out for saying something wrong considering I only just registered the day before! After reading the sticky about the outage, I figured I had to re-register and we're back to normal now, more or less.

rianto has it. and yes they are NOT cheap. not to mention theres still a lot of custom electronics to maintain teh extra options.

Given the composite video input that one can tap into with the V35's, for those who are only concerned with the GPS, I'm thinking one could use the Garmin GVN53 interface as a cheaper alternative. Of course, that would only be an ideal solution for those who don't care much for the stereo and translations. A bit hard for me to tell without a V36 (which won't be until March/April for me) but that's my guess for now. What's your take on this?

up to you. the video in on a 35 has limitations. picture looks a LOT better with RGB applied to it.

I use the GVN53 when I do the 35s. though I use a slightly different version.

if you buy a CKV36 then the full swap is the BEST way to tackle it.

if you read the description they are only installing TV tuner to allow viewing of UK TV Channels. Nothing in the navigation or menus are converted/translated.

its exactly the same to what Chris has been doing, adding an Australian compatible TV tuner.

I think he's still pretty busy... he just finished mine today... I got reverse camera now, although it doesn't tell me 100% whether I'm gonna hit something or not but at least it's helpful to see what's behind me with 150 degree wide angle view....

hm, chris the way you mounted the camera so low, it's very strategic when reversing against a bunch of chics in mini skirts... LOL

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
