hi guys

doesnt anyone know if it will definetly work with the v35?

not sure what the setup is on V35s with regard to antennas and inputs, PM Chris or read his info @ http://www.audioexpress.com.au/. I think he has fully integrated an add-on tuner as well as navigation to operate as 'factory'.

PS. DIY install updated to extraction of tuner and wiring procedure.

Will this work with the navigation/tv in toyota chasers

If they have AV inputs it will work, as it will display digital TV on a NTSC or PAL screen, youd have to investigate what the antenna setup is, or use the 'stick on' ones

some photos showing underside of unit and underside of factory tuner box(where VTR2 inputs are). Those 3 colour coded sockets(red,green and grey) + 1 larger socket are for the the factory aerials, best to label the cable before you cut off coloured plug.

Where do the VTR2 video inputs live in a standard S2 Xanavi setup? Are they in the boot?

Im also interested if these will work on M35's as the V35 have identical units (as far as i can see). I know there's AV inputs so would that be the only requirement?

EDIT - I just clicked on the link and realised.. lol

mxfly,

what is the setup on the M35's ? AV inputs in back as in the C34's ? have you checked out the aerial setup ?

perhaps someone with a M35 can post some pics ?

From what I have seen of mine when rigging up the AUX input for the Ipod it looked the same unit as in the S2 stagea. I did not look at the bottom of the unit for the ariels though but I all looks pretty similar.

Also the ipod input is the same for a V35 as a M35 so would assume that if the V35 can do this conversion the same can be said for the M35.

when connecting a dvd player to this tuner does it matter whether it is a pal or ntsc player

thanks, good question, i hadn't looked into this yet.

Did some tests, NTSC signal into Asuka tuner AV, no problem. PAL signal into Asuka tuner AV, didnt work on Stagea S2 screen. Both worked on an aftermarket screen. So, you can pass both pal and ntsc through the Asuka AV inputs no problem, but it wont perform any conversion, it will output the same as you put in. So you would need to use a NTSC signal to get a pic on the stagea S2 factory screens from the AV inputs on the Asuka tuner or factory tuner. shame

Not a problem for aftermarket late model screens, as most/ if not all, handle NTSC and PAL.

Guess you would need a dvd player which can output in NTSC or a separate PAL-NTSC converter or reburn your DVDs to NTSC using software such as NERO.

Have updated the installation guide as i fitted one to a '99 RS4 and found the wires are slightly different, so i used the 6-stacker harness, which was a much easier install, no need to remove factory tuner. Also bolted tuner to plastic shroud inside flip door, easier to access for connecting stuff like DVD and reverse camera etc

Also, for those wanting to connect dvd players and the like, there's this digital NTSC converter, stay away from the analogue ones, I used the previous model to this before in an old install in the stagea and found it worked flawlessly, seen them for around $200 delivered on ebay.

Yeah that was mine, am stoked with the result. Great picture. Highly recommended to anyone with a ntsc tv screen.

Would also highly recommend the screen override harness to allow viewing whilst in motion for passengers.

Huge thanks again for the install.

    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
    • Hi Jasmine. How's the war going?
    • I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.
    • majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
