webng Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Has anyone successfully hooked up their mp3 player to the Xanavi unit? I'm assuming it's one of the 2 inputs on the bottom left of the face. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199499-xanavi-head-unit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ステージア Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 the top one is a video in 3.5mm mono plug the bottom one is a audio 3.5mm stereo plug you need to set the TV to AV1 to listen/watch Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199499-xanavi-head-unit/#findComment-3557062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ステージア Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 This is just from memory so it could be slightly wrong push the TV button on the left panel near the bottom on the screen push the far r/h button to scroll thru something like this TV(auto) -> TV(manual) -> AV1 -> AV2 -> back to the start any probs & I'll physically check good luck!

chook Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 correct, but AV2(called VTR2 I think) will not display unless something is plugged into it, you will probably need the original factory stereo to get a sound from AV1. Most modern head units have the input plug anyway, with far better sound than the clarion unit, and no need for band expanders.

Chook, correct me if I am wrong, but do you mean that we can leave original Xanavi Double DIN unit in place , replace only factory radio (strereo) and connect Xanavi Head unit to it ?

chook Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Do you mean that you want to use the AV inputs on the front of the xanavi and play this through an aftermarket headunit ? if someone could pin-out the right wires on the back it should be possible, as well as play cd's on the xanavi. But considering the low price of quality headunits with front inputs these days, it wouldnt be worth the hassle.

DaveB Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Do you mean that you want to use the AV inputs on the front of the xanavi and play this through an aftermarket headunit ? if someone could pin-out the right wires on the back it should be possible, as well as play cd's on the xanavi. But considering the low price of quality headunits with front inputs these days, it wouldnt be worth the hassle. That's true. I thought there might be some use to replacing just the single-DIN radio/headunit, but I guess you would then lose the capability to control the 6-stacker in the boot... best then I guess to either do the TV conversion & take advantage of that LCD display (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...Tv-t203961.html) or get rid of it altogether.

DaveB Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 On a related topic, in researching the connections on the back of the Xanavi centre-console unit itself, someone somewhere posted a pic' of the rear of the centre console Xanavi cluster on here a while back... does anyone have a link to it as I can't find it in a few different searches?

chook Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 A stacker can't compare with an mp3-dvd head unit, not to mention the sound improvement over the factory head unit. Got rid of mine as soon as possible. Dont know where that pic is, there are quite a few dozen wires going into back of the xanavi, did you want to compare the air-con connections ?

Actually I mainly wanted to know if the brackets for the Xanavi were the same as for the 3-DIN setup with the stand-alone climate control unit or if they were different. These are the brackets I mean (not sure if these are standard or Xanavi): Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199499-xanavi-head-unit/#findComment-3651317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the brackets I mean (not sure if these are standard or Xanavi): brackets are different as the exnavi unit is wider than the stock din size it is ofset to suit the exnavi.the ones u have in pic are 3 din ones.regards mike Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199499-xanavi-head-unit/#findComment-3651333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I am afraid, it's time for me to clarify something. What does actually Xanavi unit do ? Or, I think I'd better put it that way, where is the amplifier located (if you can call that thing "an amplifier") ? Does Xanavi have an built-in amplifier or single din stereo does the job ? Basically, what I want to get, it's quite simple - I want to keep Xanavi unit and use it's LCD screen to play movies, use it for climate control system ,etc, but I also want to swap single-din stereo and put something better instead, probably even MP3/dvd player or just a good single-din stereo. I'd also like to keep existing functionality, as volume control, etc on a steering wheel. Am I asking too much ?

You will lose the ability to play CD's on the Xanavi and you might lose the functionality of the steering volume unless you are talentled with electronics and can integrate it with your aftermarket one somehow.

Reference on the ALPINE site. scroll down to ' Steering remote ready ', talks about using the factory steering buttons. http://www.alpine.com.au/support/glossary.asp Is the head unit clarion ? Could be compatable with an aftermarket Clarion ? Either way, if you talk to the right car sound people (not JB), it is highly likely you can keep them working.
