before i make my V35 investment, the BOSE headunits... chris maybe you could answer, do these have a line-in / auxilary in??

or do the non-bose ones have line / aux in?

also

is the sound OK in either system?

why do so many people seem hell bent on changing the audio setup? seems so risky

=?

I believe if you get one with the factory screen but not reversing camera you can buy an adapter that feeds into that input and will net you the normal red/white/yellow input plugs. I dont have a screen so never bothered investigating.

There is also the ipod adapter that plugs into the stereo (not screen) so maybe just plain aux is an option on the same input. Obviously Chris is the man to speak to on the details of this.

Personally, I really like the factory bose stereo from a sound quality perspective, but i'm not into windows down, stereo up cruising trying to get some attention, so horses for courses. Only wish it was MP3 and bluetooth enabled but ah well.

Also I understand when the CD player goes on them many people have had to change to aftermarket just because its not economical to fix. I also hear rumour this issue with the stereo is fixed with the series 2's so maybe I will never have my hand forced in this regard.

for the NAVI version - yes there is a AUX in and I usually have the leads on hand for it.

There is also the ipod adapter that plugs into the stereo (not screen) so maybe just plain aux is an option on the same input. Obviously Chris is the man to speak to on the details of this.

Ipod lead that I use does have AUX in on it. there is also a 8pin AUX in on there as well (both bose and plain units have this) that I'll get around to making a DIY lead for. that will allow direct line into the unit regardless of navi or not. non navi is easier for me to do.

the later 06 had BT and the USDM ones had MP3.

as for a retrofit. not me..

depends - the radio is cheaper to fix than to replace the lot. think panels , leads,controls - then a new radio on top. last few I have done were in the 900-975 area.

S2 radio they changed the CD mech. haven't had to do one of these yet but I do PLENTY of the earlier PN2414/13 versions.

well... ok guys..

i'll tell you why i ask

it's NOT for the ipod

this is for PSP

here's why

ipod

plays mp3s, tiny little thing with a tiny little screen, has to use itunes which stuffs up your PC - im not the biggest fan of ipod

PSP

MASSIVE screen, hi def screen, light sensitive screen, plays mp3's, plays music videos, plays movies, plays pictures, plays pretty much all forms of media, can access the internet, GPS capabilites, can sync with sony phones and would have a possibility of being used as a blueant device in your car

so

for $20 more than an ipod

you get a movie player, music player WITH animated graphic equaliser (which looks pretty) GPS, interchangeable memory, the ability to syncro with ps3 / SE branded phones... the list goes on

plus it can use the net...

all you gotta do is fabricate some custom brackets to mount it on and voila! perfect media centre for your V35

i thoguht of this by myself by the way, i dunno if anyone else is already doing it but this is my way of saying "TAKE THAT IPOD JERKS"

so yeah...

the best part is

when you reach your destination

simply unplug it

and go play games - GOOD games.. not "snake" or "pacman"

=)

128gig can be read by the new 3000 model n they're about 100 bucks

that cost is neglegable cos 128 would be impossible to fill hahaha

i'd struggle with 16 myself haha

chris

if by saying "spits out" you mean "plays" then it can do movies pictures music pretty much ANY form of multimedia

on a large size screen

=)

great idea mate, would be keen to see some testing done, if i had an aux in adapter already i'd get you to test it on mine.

i think what chris means by 'spits out' is what will come out of the aux plug on the psp, so will it send audio only via aux or video too, as this would mean it could plug into the stock screen as a bit of a mobile-media centre.

ohhhhhhhh

i like the way you lads think

well if that's the case then yeah it would "spit out" for sure

that makes it a bit easier to "convert" the TV!!!

EDIT, says it has extension port, dunno what that means exactly

here

PSP Specs for I/O:

- USB 2.0

- Memory Stick

- Extension Port

- Stereo Head Phone Out

Communications:

- Wireless LAN(802.11)

- USB 2.0

- IrDA

so i think it can work headphonejack to RCA but i am not sure it works visual also

unsure at the moment cos this refers to the 2000 version, not the 3000

ok I see audio only. that would make sense from a portable standpoint. I do not see video out being an option on it. prove me wrong though.

I know that a Zen will spitout whatever is on the screen.

actually, looks like it might be half a chance...

http://au.playstation.com/support/psp/faqs..._videoout.jhtml

and for those without a screen...

psp dimensions from the website (latest one, apparently called 'PSP Slim') are 169.4 x 18.6 x 71.4 mm

dimensions for the empty box in my series 2 are roughly 175mm wide and up to about 85mm tall. pic attached.

so it seems that it could well be possible to do something as simple as having a strip of velcro along the inside of the box and on the back of the psp and it will sit fine with the box open whenever you want to use it. It will even utilise the 'hood' of the open box as a bit of glare protection.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
