Stagea Series 2 / M35 Digital Tv Upgrade

Looks good, I was thinking you had an M35 for some strange reason in other posts, my bad. What reverse cam did you end up getting ?

I ended up getting nothing - so it's still up in the air... Do you have any suggestion, by the way?

I got a panasonic one from japan, around $200, just make sure it is NTSC.

That's awesome, good work!

Ok this is baffling. How do I pull the left rear inside off to get to the TV tuner?? M35. Plenty of info for the older stags but none for the M35. If I ever successfully do it Imight put together a pdf of the M35 install.

I took four screws off the top panel, easy slip off. But the carpetted panel beneath it won't come off. I can see one black plastic plug, hard to remove without breaking it but the whole thing sems pretty solidly attached and I'm scared to pull too hard for fear of breaking something.

the ENTIRE rear side/ panel has to come out - floor included. thats the long way of doing it. do you have the AUX IN lead for it? you will need that.

It can be difficult to get the panel off with out removing the floor. It will come out though with a bit of effort. I think you will have to remove the cover for the tools but this one is reasonable easy.

On the carpeted side panel, there is a black plug that needs to be removed by popping the top out (or maybe screw it), it is a bit difficult and you will need remove the panel next to the passenger seat over the rear wheel arch.

Hi Andrew

If you are only doing the TV tuner and not adding any other items at the same time you have all that you need. You didn't mention that you have Chooks TV tuner but I take that as a given.

I would say about 2 hours to do it all.

If you can remove the whole panel in the boot it will make it easier. Make sure you have some thing to secure the 2 TV ariel cables into the new mount. I used shrink cable covers but tape will do it if you are good at wrapping it.

You need to find your power and I can not remember which wire I picked up for that. Craig may remember.

Chooks instructions are very good and very soon you will be enjoying your TV in your heated leather recliner. (perfect for the Vovo driver)

Cheers

Unless you want to power something like an Ipod, dont use it yet.

i'm taking power from the standard tuner/unit

6 pin plug 5 wires inside. yellow for constant and green for accessories hopefully thats ok?

[andy65b]

Didn't your car have the stereo removed when you got it?

It was probably used for the aftermarket stereo installed.
