This thread will contain all my adventures in the setting up of my on the move entertainment solution for my M35 Stagea.

The beginning.

I tooled around the forum for ages, looking at Stageas and V35's. I met with Andy (cheers again) and saw his setup. I swapped emails with Chris and Chook. Then developed a plan.

Bought the TV tuner form Chook, the lead/adapter from Chris, steering wheel controls from Chris and also got a recommendation for an awesome local installer. I'm reasonably handy when it comes to mucking about with basic ICE setups but I'll need an installer for this as I want some custom made bits.

I liked the ipod setups I'd seen but also fancied a carputer. The I decided I could have both and swapped the Nokia for an iPhone.

So the setup will go like this:

OEM stereo for CD's and radio - like the idea of OEM and steering wheel controls

Working TV tuner with AV inputs which will also feed the iphone and reversing camera to the OEM screen.

Iphone will provide phone, music, videos and GPS and also email and web on the move, all visible on the OEM screen.

I am having a custom dock solution made which will replace the ashtray and having the TV tuner remote integrated into the dash.

Can't edit the post.

The custom mount for the iPhone is going to work well, it'll fit in the ashtray and so it gets the stealth factor. I pop open the ashtray and pop in the iPhone and get video and audio through the screen and stereo :)

I'm getting an RCA video out plug mounted in the rear of the centre console as well so I can hook up a secondary screen at my leisure.

ahh youre using the dock in similar fashion to that website that did it for the G35?

was a very nice install if you can replicate that!

Not difficult to do.

Once you are in behind the console, running a chord into the ashtray is quite straight forward.

Was thinking about doing an ashtray mount for my iPod classic, but with the roads I drive on (and the speed I take corners at times), it would put far too much stress through the connection (plus the iPod classic is pretty heavy).

iPhone is a bit lighter, so should work well.

+1 for pics please!

yeah but the iphone is much taller and IMO it doesnt sit in docks as well as the classic (yes i have both as well)

i just chuck my ipod and iphone in the drink holder and use the cable plugged into the headphone socket. actually i should get the aux input cable from chris!

+2 for pics :P

The project is finiched, well this part anyway. I have more plans but this will get me out of trouble.

Iphone has a custom connector/dock in the front ashtray, TV tuner fitted and working fine :blink:, extra Video out cable fitted to rear of centre console so I can plug in another screen for the back seats.

The Iphone sends video to the screen and audio through the stereo so I can listen to my MP3's or have a music video going, or put on Toy Story for the little fella.

I'll have to make some time later to take some decent pics, here's one for starters.

Awesome set-up Houdini, you must be rapped!

I'll get around to getting the TV and Sat Nav fixed one of these days, for now I want to focus on the performance side of things and then worry about entertainment later :ninja:

I like the spot you the iphone docks, I've seen other setup's but they have used the drink holder which sucks if you want to keep it. But I don't smoke so the ashtray is ideal!

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
