Chris,

People on the UK GTR site (www.gtr.co.uk) have also been looking at instaling satnav on the Euro spec cars. Did you use a separate sat nav that just output to the screen in the car or did you tap into the GPS that is installed in all the cars (even non sat nav ones)?

cheers

see above post :)

I'm not trying to be a hard arse here. I simply spent a LOT of time under this car and for now the information stays with me.

I will say this - if you tap the exisxting system you will screw up the lap timer and clock functions as those are GPS derived.

no line in option in the ADM car. Ipod was FM based. (alpine AX10.) I'm working on a ipod solution for them but don't hold your breath.

I'm also chasing schematics for the unit thats in there (I have the model info here.) so I can work out the line/video in stuff.

Thanks for the info

For anyone slightly stupid like me I went and got some more info from Adam at Stylyn regarding what's exactly involved in doing everything and what you are actually getting.

As it stands right now the Sat / Nav and Front camera will be operated by switches that will be put into the car under the "R Mode" switches (so above where you put a cd in). You won't be able to see them but they will be an addition to the car. Also - the Sat Nav is technically a stand alone unit (like a Garman) so the screen will only be for viewing. You will need a seperate remote to enter data etc - can't use the touch screen etc like in the US / JDM cars.

The reversing camera will come on as soon as the car is put into reverse so there are no extra switches.

The iPod as mentioned is currently going to be a hard-wired FM transmitter. Again the unit will have to be mounted somewhere you can see it (and it is also controlled by another remote). The iPod cable can be put into the glovebox but the fact is it is still an FM transmitter.

For prices you are looking at around $250 for the iPod stuff and around $4K for the Nav and Cameras.

the Ipod price is wrong :blink: it was $299 for the unit.

may as well mention the rest of what adam told you as well :)

that part I'm heavily involved in. if you decide to do the car then you will meet me as I'll probably be the other person along side adam working on it.

ok we have made a revision to this.

the activation switches are now a touch switch. no physical switch to push, no holes in panels - touch one area and the OEM system turns off and the NAVI takes over. touch another area and the FWD camera comes into play.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
