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.

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?

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.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
