Hi All,

My car has a Dash mounted TV and ive got a dvd player too. Does anyone have any documents or knowledge regarding operation of this unit whilst driving? I have the unit angled towards the passenger seat so it doesnt affect my vision but is this OK?

Can the police still fine me for operating it? I know a lot of the new mercs and stuff come with tv dvd sat nav and stock standard on the high models does the same apply?

Watching road runner cartoons burnt from the pc (mpegs) to vcd and watching them in the skybie is awesome :D

If you know a bit in regards to what you can and cant do with a dash mounted TV please post it here.

Thanks

Well mine faces away from the driver so It would be safe (well at least remotely safe) to assume that its OK to operate if its not facing me? Im happy to fang around with and have the passenger watch stuff. I know my girlfriend loves driving me aronud when im watching stuff on it

no its a perm mounted dash tv. doesnt fold anyway or anything. however after owning the car for about 7 months now, ive never been pulled over by the police for any type of check

1)Nothing must be in the way where the wiper blades run along. even stickers. So a big screen is a NO NO.

2) The whole dash is an impact area in a colision. Again nothing must be mounted there.

Hence this is why gauges even on the a pillar is illegal.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
