Hi all

I have one of those stupid XANAVI units in my R34 GTT and given that it has the RCA connections in the boot, hence I though I could avoid spending money on a new head unit for a while.

That said after i have connected the red and white audio cables in the boot, how to I switch to that input?

Thanks in advance

btw has anyone translated the xanavi dash controls?

its unclear what you expect to achieve ( e.g. are you trying to install a CD MP3 hu in the boot to feed audio directly into the sender box in the boot and onto the Xanavi hu in the dash and if so why? - you do know that the Xanavi hu audio (as produced by the cd player for instance) is actually sent on via the std cassette radio unit thru to the speakers and not directly to them? have a look at the back of the Xanavi hu and all will be revealed by the mass of connectors!!!!!!!!!)

so, you need to be clearer as to what is your real objective (and hence we will know what is your real question?)

and as for the translation of the function buttons on the Xanavi hu this is on a post on this SAU site - use the search facility - the exercise will be rewarding as it may turn up extra info

pm me if stuck after fully trying the search function

To make things clearer, as you said i'll explain what i am trying to do.

I had plugged a digital tv tuner in to the rca inputs in the boot (video, audio left and audio right). I was doing this so I could tune in to the local tv brodcast and watch it thought the factory pop up screen. I then supplied power to the tuner and set it to output the signal as NTSC.

My question was...

After I had done this I was wondering how I could then set the xanavi to display the output of this dtv tuner?

But since then I have figured out how to and not only that I also found out how to play an mp3 player through the xanavi using the inputs in the Dash

can you share your finds here ? a lot of people ask this question on how to reuse the standard screens ? and also the any wiring found in the sat nav plugs ?

cheers

usually with a dead navi the only way to do it iw via RGB->composite boxes. few will spend the money to do it.

I THINK YOU HAVE LEFT EVERYONE WITH THE QUESTIONS OF WHAT IS INVOLVED - BRIEF OUTLINE WOULD BE HELPFUL - AND COST?

be nice and I'll explain (IE do not yell.)

box is $500 or so and it will adapt/split a video signal into its raw colors and sync signals. as for doing it - not explaining that one. its NOT a DIY thing.

fully understand the commercial in confidence and protection of intellectual property thingy - so (does this really have to be as hard as pulling teeth out ?) the next question is can you supply a d.i.y kit so a R34 owner wherever they are in Aust or the world can pull out the Xanavi hu and discard it and install/just plug in your kit (maybe together with some specific new h.u. or incar pc recommended or sold by you) into the existing car wiring loom (and using the in situ connectors for the screen) - you do not have to reveal the techie details - and get some functionality back (i.e. at least the capacity to play dvd/audio, and maybe tv and or sat nav a higher cost option)?

yes/no? - or what can you do?

est total cost/time to deliver ?

no. there are specific connectors in there that I cannot source.

if you are inclined to do so - try. the people that make them (yazaki or AMP.) will sell them to you in 10k lots.

if you are the person from gatton - yes I can do your car - yes it will cost 2-3K to do properly and no it cannot be put to english.

Who's the anonymous interloper from Gatton and what has he/she to do with this thread? (Rhetoric question - actually needs no reply)

These multi convo posts never work out.....................................

You could always wack on of those portable dvd players(with RCA and NTSC Output) in the boot, If you just want to watch DVD's? But it would be inconvenient to control the DVD Player since it would be in the boot.

You could get a in car pc with a M2-ATX-HV 140W 6-32V Wide Input Intelligent Automotive DC-DC Power Supply or similar (so the computer starts and shuts down with the car).

Then some how convert VGA to RCA Video (NTSC) this maybe?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VGA-to-TV-Converter...tem370157902984

Then get a wireless keyboard/mouse a run the receiver to the cabin.

If you want GPS get a USB receiver and put it on the parcel shelf.

If you want TV get one of those USB DTV tuners, u'd need a decent aerial

And obviously if you want to play DVD's u'd need a DVD RW+- drive in the PC

That's my lame notion, not being full on techie, was gonna look into it but never got round to it

that would work :D

though if you were going to that extent I would drop the video converter and do it with raw video. the IDEAL thing with that would be to reuse the one in the OE DVD unit :)

in all thats quite a good solution for it.

this is another:

http://www.hitv.com.au/products/view.jsp?id=1&category=7

that is basically a windows box running CE. hack that and chuck on what ever apps you like. it WILL do touch screen as well. standard it does GPS,movies and speed info.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
