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.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
