Hey guys, just wondering how to keep the TV/GPS screen on S1 stag active while driving. When I first got the car with standard stereo etc it i could see snow when driving, now that I have got a headunit installed and running visual through AV2 it cuts out as soon as I put it in gear. Even when I try to view what I was seeing before the install.

Is there a way around this? I expect there is as I know some people out there are running GPS through this screen. Maybe when they were installing the headunit they did something, or is it just s setting or something?

I've tried doing a search but after several hours of reading I still havn't found what I'm after.

Thanks for your help guys :D

depends on the setup, but from my expirience, there is a wire connected to either the handbrake or gearbox, when the hand brake is on or the gearbox is in gear the circuit is completed and the tv shuts down, you will have to disconnect this wire.

all depense what you have. but if you pull out the screen it should have a 'to handbrake' or sumthing wire... unless its stock then mayb they might be a little more safe haha. but its just a matter of grounding that wire.

hey guys not to be a damper but be carefull what you post as it is Illegal and im sure a mod will delete your comments ban or warn ya's in some form. keep it private.

You need a special harness that plugs into the back of your screen, looks like this:

It is not as simple as a handbrake switch, its a very complicated little harness.

Most/all japanese install them as soon as they leave the dealer, so look for a small button or black box, as in pic. Might have been 'touched' when your stereo was installed.

If you have no luck, i have a spare one available, pm me.

Yeah cheers chook, just the sort of info I was after. I have some wiring and stuff that was removed, will have a look to see if there is something there that resembles the unit you posted. I'll also ask the installer if he touched/saw something as well.

Anybody know where you can get one of these boxes? Sorry Chook i cant PM ya as im new :)

cheers

No idea, I can't remember the branding on mine.

I can however remember atleast part of what was written on it "......so you don't miss your favorite show when you're behind the wheel" Aren't the Japanese so safety consous

other than in Japan, or possibly a Japan Yahoo site such as http://www.importmonster.com.au , 2nd hand ones are cheap there, or try Chris Rogers, part # datasystem NTV142,

These are only for the factory xanavi screens, not for aftermarket.

I've ordered the "Data Systems / TV-KIT NTV142 / SUTEJIA W # C34/H9.8 ~ H13.10" through nengun on the japan yahoo auctions - next question... how hard is it to install with instructions in japanese??

for my dvd player handbreak wire is just earthed.

for an aftermarket headunit, that's all it'll be. run it to a switch so that you can prove to cops that it's legal though :P for the standard xanavi unit though, you'll need the harness like Chook said.

plug and go. I sell a few of them myself.

getting arounf that unit is best done with a bypass. there's too many wires to fiddle with otherwise.

Plug and go? Hope its as easy as it sounds...Lets hope its nothing like the windows plug and prey...

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
