Hi All,

Just got my iPod all hooked up and working properly through the stock screen using one of Chris Rogers AV plug's and a DLO Tunedock from Dick Smith for $130. The dock itself has an AV out socket, a usb power socket and an AUX in socket as well as doing all the usual things such as power your iPod and transmit via FM to your radio if you want to. Compatable with pretty much all iPods too!

Here are a couple of pics of the set up, components and one of it running. I am pretty impressed with the picture quality as i was certain it was going to be really grainy, but in the end it was pretty decent. All i did was use a program to convert the video for the ipod at 640x480 and make sure the frame rate was at around 29 fps for NTSC output. Also i guess the NTSC out on the iPod is handy also.

Bonus was that Chris solved my mystery switch on my dash problem and lets just say that 5km/h isnt a problem anymore :banana:

Where does the AV out plugs into? routed to the back of the vehicle into a the TV tuner, or straight to the aux on the factory screen?

The AV out plugs into the tv tuner box in the boot. Basically the three RCA cables you see there are what would be the result if you were to follow the AV input forum thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/diy-Put-A-v-Input-350g-t184366.html) or buy the plug and play option from Chris.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
