Chris, is this the same Xanavi screen that's in the S2 stageas? My wife's got one (works great, aside from the japanese writing) in her stag and i'm trying to find out if i can replace the MD player that's in the din below it, with a dvd headunit and output to the Xanavi screen? We want to keep the screen for the climate control setup, so figured we might as well kill two birds with one stone.

sorry if this has been covered already but just was after some definite answers...

I have the Xanavi unit in my R34.

mine pops up automatically when car is started, I have blue screen with Japanese writing.

I also have the original operating disc.

is there any way to have the TV working how it stands currently?

if so does anyone know how to do this?

to get it working would I have to add a separate DVD player to link to it? (didn't really wanna do that as there is the room issue)

if there is an easy fix would someone be able to help me out with instructions or would I have to take it somewhere to be looked at?

what sort of costs would be involved?

also i'm in Brisbane

I opened my xanavi unit a few months ago and found out the issue, pooor surface mount components. I would warrant a guess at this being the cause of a lot of other peoples issues where the units are random as. Basically replaced most of the caps and tried to resolder what ever else. Tried it out after that and it pops up reliably now although theres still other issues. Most likely related to the board, you could literally grab and pull off what ever you wanted. :blink:

The ability to solder Surface Mount Devices(SMD) is way beyond most of the people in these forums, and static or overheating soldering might fry something else

I have a ISO certificate for electronic repairs and its not as easy to do it right as it might seem ? if you want them to work when done...lol

plus you can waste a lot of time and money on parts you dont need to replace on a board... do you expect forum users to have access to oscilloscopes etc ?

once again, dont attempt something unless your certain of your skill levels , a lot of car interfaces control more then just the radio these days...!!!!

dont cry to me when you fry your cars computer with a 1 dollar simple power tester... the guy at cheap as chips sold you...and said it would work...lol

haha sapphire by no means did i recommend other people attemp to solder components inside the xanavi unit. :cool: I work in IT/Electronics and have no issues with soldering SMD, and having access to sillyscopes.

TBH after the caps were soldered back on i tested it and like i said the screen was ok although i had another look and even more stuff was LITERALLY comming off the board and i really saw no reason to sit there soldering the IC's back on it was just a waste of time. The 34 has a whole new system in it now any way (although i have retained the standard xanavi headunit and screen up the top to keep it looking standard) :(

for those interested. have found a DROP IN replacement screen. unplug yours and wire this into place. gives reverse camera and two video inputs.

fits neatly into the stock hole and pops the screen up when you hit reverse :)

(stock unit is on the left.)

Mines f**ked aswell, it comes up with that aqua/blue screen with the two boxes one yellow the other white with Japanese in it. I half translated one box, the first word is Program (thanks highschool Japanese). I'd love to get it fixed as it always opened when the ignition is turned on and none of the buttons work while its like this, however sometimes it beeps and then goes back to the normal NISSAN screen with the grey background and works for a little bit, then just goes back to that blue screen.

If I can't find anyone to fix it or point me in the right direction and i'll try fix it myself I'm gonna rip the bugger out and put the GTT tachos in there.

Once the screen is at this stage can it be fixed at all?

well today driving along, not touching anything or fiddling with anything, the screen decides to pop up first time ever since i got it a year ago, and i get the blue and yellow screen for a while it beeps, goes blank for 2 seconds and shows the blue and yellow screen exactly like the quoted posts picture, does that mean my screen is stuffed completely or is there a hope i can at least get cd to work on it? the cd unit that came with the unit, can open and close the screen but no other buttons work.

alright so i am a bit late to this but i have the same problem sort of.

i have the same stock pop up display, but it all works well(even have an 08-09 xanavi sat nav disc for japan)

since im in sydney it seems that it would difficult to find someone who could actually do the work, but im wondering if a dvd reciever such as this jvc one would fix the problem of no cd/radio/dvd. i can live without sat nav

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
