This has probably been covered before, but could not find in the FAQ. What is the best solution for converting jap buttons to english. is there a replacement kit available? if so from where and how much? and pics?

Ebay, you can get stickers but it looks a bit average. Real buttons from the US on ebay as well (maybe).

Get your guy who is doing your sat nav and audio to do it. It's a big job to do by it's self. Better getting it all done in one go.

Hi Jon, it will work just perfect. as long as it has factory Navi/TV screen unit (not aftermarket!).

Ring me in the morning to discuss day & time - my phone # in my sig below. Appreciate not ringing at night please, gotta put the bub to sleep.

no problem, thanks heaps... ill buzz you tomorrow morning to discuss....... whats that thing thats next to the dvd player in the glove box? It looks like

some sort of card reader?

First SA install now complete and the first one I installed I had to remove the player and clean the laser in the head to get it to read the disks. So if anyone wants an install in adelaide PM me or check out andys signature for my number thanks Brad

brad,

can you send me an email with your full details please. I have a web page set up with a blank spot for SA and wish to make it a live page.

You can also vouch that it isn't a simple job like some people think it is.

No problem nigel the whole process took about 35 mins and what amazed me was the fact that while in contact with our russian friends they

could tell where my car was from russia does this mean that if my car gets stolen and i give them the key on the reciept they can track were the car is

Regards Dave

unfortunately no :rant:

the key only contains location at the time of install

it was meant for copy protection , not for gps tracking

so there's no russian mob/bodyguard following your car as u drive around . conversion price don't include secret service :-)

amen! thats part of the reason I'm getting the cars and yanking boxes , doing them and then putting them back. I had one here over the weekend with a totally dead laser.

GPS co'ords are coded into the software licence. stops us pirating and also keeps things in our respective areas.

Got mine done on Sunday by Nigel (Champion).

Sorry about my messy wires behined the gove box and my less then cooperative DVD Rom and my lame GPS and that it was a Sunday afternoon :(

HAPPY :D

Dam puts me off getting a reversing camera :)

To all the NSW people.

Andy is OS in the US for a week or so. In saying that I will be covering for him for the language conversions until he gets back so if you want to book in be sure to PM me.

cheers

But the two sips of that coke you bought for me made up for the hassle, it was better we did it on Sunday because if it was a week day the other distractions would of made it painful so no big deal.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
