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.

Cheers

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.

Cheers

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
