Hi All

I have An M35, tv has sound but no picture, chook do you sell the components to make the Tv show picture? If so i would be interested to buy.

Anyone had the center dash out on an M35. Ive had the consul out but the panel covering the radio up to the TV is tight, some tips on its removal would be appreciated.

Thanks

Murray

Hi Murray

Have a look at the attached link. It is a step by step process that includes removing the centre console.

Yep, all stations back, and from a quick cruise to pick the kids up, much better reception than it was giving before. The line I've tapped into was already relay switched for the rear dvd player, so, it was really a 5 minute job in the end once it was sorted and a much healthier voltage is shared by all. Typical Stagea, even the tv ariels are a super hyped up version!! :thumbsup:

Jeff,

how is your reception going around town since the upgrade ? iv'e definitely noticed an improvement, thanks for identifiying.

Another reminder for anyone who hasn't installed the relay, please do ! both for reception and unit longevity,

Simon

Heya Chook,

Yep, things are much better now, so I'm super happy :thumbsup: No probs with id'ing the problem, I'm just annoyed at myself for taking so long to get my arse into gear for finding out what was going wrong.

But I'd agree with you and suggest that anyone who isn't running the ariels on a seperate relay supply should do so, you are overdoing the asuka units ariel power supply, and it would be a bummer to go back to no tv again! As I said before, dont let this put anyone off from buying one of these units, they are top class thumbsup.gif

M35 TV and DVD install now complete....thanks Chook!

Considering I am a wiring Noob, Chooks TV unit looks to be the shit.....easy install(even for me) and great picture at a good price. Got all three monitors running and talking to each other(see pic).

Also thanks to Chris Rogers for the additional wiring for the after market unit to the M35's unit.

Nice man.... Nice.

Wasn't considering the tv fix, but having read this thread.... Oooo! So much to do, so much to do!

Considering it only cost me $679 for both headrests, TV unit and wiring(not including 3 sets of RCA's because I had them)....it's a steal.

P.S. And the case of beer for me to get it done :thumbsup:

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

thats because of a safety link from the handbrake to the screen. U need to cut the wire link, but then it makes it illegal, as your not allowed to operate it while driving or handbrake down.

Got my hands on some more tuners, same model, $310 posted, so any newbies with Xanavi screens or M35's looking for digital TV, send me a PM.

HiChook,

I have just purchased a single din JVC lcd screen, and a jvc single din dvd player o suit. I need a digital tuner to be able to watch tv. Also, im sydney based. My cousin is the installer for JB Hifi in sydney, and he assures me that no digital tuner is going to work well in sydney, due to the fact that we have the worst reception for TV's. Is this true? also what is the cost of a digital tuner (asuka) posted to parramatta, nsw?

Hi Bill, I got one of these tuners from Chook, and the reception is pretty good. Its not exactly like sitting in your loungeroom (there are places it drops out) but it is a million times better than the chinese one I had before. In particular this uses 2 antennas on the car and takes the best signal from either.

it works best with Stageas with factory TV aerials, which i assume you dont have. I have no experience in Sydney, the aerials that come with it aren't the greatest, but there are some options regarding aerials, eg HITV 'b1' which works as well as the factorys in brisbane. http://www.hitv.com.au/products/view.jsp?i...&category=2

Ill pm you some more info.

Hi guys,

well, it took me just about a year to stop sitting on my back side and do something useful. I finally started the installation process and, I must admit, I did not go too far. I managed to get out standard TV tuner and... and I have few questions now !

First of all, I am a bit confused with antenna cables. PDF manual from chook mentions 4 cables joined in 2 pairs. Are we talking about 3 black cables marked (or labeled) as red, green and sort of blue and another one big black round(ish) connector with 2 pins ?? If yes, which ones should be paired ?

Power to amplifiers (see the attach) - is it how the connector should look like or someone has already played with mine?

I made a mistake and unplugged grey connector from the unit and was surprised when I found 2 grey sockets next to each other. Connector fits them both and functionality seems to be the same (although I haven't checked it thoroughly) . Can anyone advise me please on where I should plug it ?

Relay - which one to use and where to get one ? Mind you, I havent played with relays for good 25 years and I was getting mine from my dad :P)))

Now, couple of things I need to ask about new unit. Does it need to be connected to "live" wire, or both POWER and ACC cables can be connected to, for example, cigarette lighter adaptor in the boot ? Or I'd better get them connected to something else ?

Can someone help me with that please ? :P))))

Oh, las but not least - thanks chook for his great efforts and the amount of info he provided !!!

In the C34 the red and green are the side aerials, should be same, I got best results from combining one side with one rear. so red+grey and green+black eg. Black should just be another aerial plug.

2nd photo is fine, just unplug it or cut it and put your own plug onto it, and this then goes to relay. 2 wires for the 2 amps.

Don't think it matters where the grey plugs go, otherwise Nissan would have made them different, just make sure everything is working before you seal it all up.

Any standard 4 pin normally open SPST relay from an Auto shop, 30 or 40 amp. If you are really stuck let me know and I can send you one. Bosch/hella or narva etc

Cig lighter is ok for RED ACC wire + power for the amps.

Yellow needs to connect to always on 12V, Should be a source there somewhere, I think I used the CD stacker wire harness in the C34. Dont connect red and yellow together, you will lose settings everytime you switch it off.

on a C34 the power is a 4-5 pin plug on the OE tuner. grn = acc , yel = +12v

M35 is a different matter. the tuner you showed us is a C34 item as the M35 is different.

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.

Another one - Where do I find reverse signal wire ? Tried to locate one myself - no luck :-(

OR I need to use reverse light 12V ? By the way - it seems to me that reverse light power coming thru right hand side of the back door .

    • 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.
