For all those who bought, have been informed of a feature available but not in the manual.

-If you connect the orange wire (normally earthed) to the reverse signal wire (12V), it will switch the picture to AV1 when reverse is selected, for the purpose of viewing a reverse camera. NTSC cams only for Stageas of course.

cheers

Big thanks to Chook for my unit. :thumbsup: I had heaps of questions about the unit and the install process and he helped me with every step. My install went relatively smoothy once we worked out how to pull all the panels out.

I have found that I have no car acceleration interference noise when I use the tv side of the unit. I used expensive 50cm wires for that connection, however, I have a seperate dvd (cheapo) unit in the back seat with seperate screens for the kids, I had to use longer cables, and they were of pretty ordinary quality. The result? I get heaps of interference noise when I switch the unit to the input from the dvd drive. I'm trying to decide whether to rip apart the boot again and replace the wires with some better quality cable, or install a noise suppressor, this is not the units fault I must stress.

I did have one other issue today tho, all of a sudden it would not get any signal from any station, so I performed the auto scan again, and it found no stations at all. Odd I thought, maybe the anntenas had shorted out?? So I was about to pull it all out and check my wiring again, but I noticed the reset switch on it, I hit that, and the auto scan came up with all the channels again no problem. So, I'm not sure what caused that, but a simple reset seemed to work, I know my home DVB locks up almost daily, I guess thats the digital age for ya!

Other than that the unit works quite well, its solidly built, top quality and keeps a steady picture going even with fairly bad signal strength (52%) :down:

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks for the update chook - great support considering this is just a group buy! Mine is working perfectly (no issues with resets or anything else). I still have reception challenges at some deep spots near my house but the reception is much better than the previous unit I had in there.

I pulled apart my dash today and found that I have the R-spec over ride but the switch has been cut off.

Can anyone suggest what would be a suitable button ans how would it get wired? There are 4 wires in the lead to the switch (or where it once was) and they are coloured, Red, Black, White & Yellow.

Cheers

Have a look on the 1st page of this thread. Chook posted a picture of the unit. It allows the TV to be used whilst driving.

You driving an M35 ? My car's screen works whilst driving and Im positive that there is no Over-ride unit installed. I think I have had all the interior in pieces looking for various wires/faults.

Pretty sure but then again I was able to get the screen working for a while after I played around with some menu settings. No idea what i did. Some how I changed it back again. The only obvious sign was that when looking at the GPS it would not track the car on the screen whilst it allowed the TV to work.

I will check out the setting on my screen and let you know, both the TV button Screen and the display button Screen

I dont know if this will help but have a look at the attached.

I can play movies when stoped and hand brake on like this but once hand brake is release the sceen goes back to navigation.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
