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?

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.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
