no problems! if you have a factory tv/sat nav. its the one behind the glovebox. so thats not the CPU youre after incase you see that instead

If you have TV/Nav, the CPU is ...................?

I thought it was in the passengers kick panel but I have seen another diagram where it shows it behind/above the glove box.

Which one is right?

if we are referring to the engine one- behind glovebox on ALL cars. the one inthe passenger kick is the auto or CVT ECU. the navi unit is the DVD rom above the glove box.

if you have a special ECU the label will be on top of it. bear in mind the car may not pass emissions with it in there...

Inside my glove box there is a dvd player and a etc devise.

wow so im totally wrong?

when i had the glovebox out there were 3 vertically mounted 'ECUs'. i just assumed the one in the bottom left in the kick panel was the engine ECU?? had a wire spliced for something going one above it - which i assumed to be the gearbox ecu. and finally the one actually mounted behind the glovebox was for the TV goodies....

so which ones which?? (sorry if that seemed rude i would really like to know)

I'll post a shot up over the next day or so (I have a '03 coupe here so it will be that one.)

Excellent thanks.

I checked it out today and opened the glove box and found a comparment but did see anything looking like a ecu . Maybe its because i dont know what a ecu looks like.

If it does have the after market impul cpu what does that mean in terms for compliance ,does that mean i have to get a standard ecu and then change them after registration and if i can change it back how do i get it re-tuned ?

Perhaps some photo's will help some of us advise of what you may or may not be looking at...

I have no pics of the glove box . But i went to see the car today and its getting ready for compliance he said the alloy wheels will need to be replaced and the exhuast system back to standard. I didnt mention anything about the cpu . When i open the glove box it folds out and its empty then i look up towards where the dvd player sits and there is a silver metal bracket there is that it?

What emissions mean and how much does it usually cost to comply a car i feel like im getting a raw deal.

On the passenger side there are two openings (gloveboxes for lack of a better term) the top one folds up. In this one the 2 things that seem to be in many v35 & M35's are the DVD rom for the SAT NAV. This is not a DVD player for movies. The second, is usually the ETC device. This is an electronic toll device for Japanese roads.

The lower glove box folds down but there is nothing in this box. You will need to remove the glove box to get at the CPU for the motor.

This is a link to a page that shows how to remove various parts of the dash to access much of this area. http://g35ipod.com/installHW.php?skin=1

Under the glove box is a black kick pannel that is above your feet when sitting in the passenger seat. (this also holds the flare if you have one). This just pulls down from the leading edge. You can see the CPU above this.

EDIT: Is this it?

Thanks for your help . The dvd player inside the glove box does play movies . I already tried it and it worked fine sound through the speakers and all. I have a aftermarket screen and dvd player install its panasonic. And i also have the etc collection thingy.
