I have to agree with everyone here, that is an excellent install!

I have an iPhone too, and I think I will eventually upgrade my Alpine CD/MP3 deck to another Alpine but with A/V and iPhone compatibility.

Here's a quick video of the setup. audio is a bit out of sync don't know WTF happened during encoding:

Looks good D.

That must be a pain opening the glove box each time you want to change channel.

What software do you use to get the movies to your Ipod? I have some that I use now but not sure if it is the best. Movies can some times be a bit grainy.

Cheers

Actually I probably won't use the TV a lot so I don't mind it being hidden away. I prefer to listen to music or if needed watch all the stuff I've got for the iphone (even when I watch TV shows they're generally not live and don't have ad's).

I use handbrake, absolutely rules for creating ipod/iphone content DivX and whatever else you need.

I'm thinking that when I start commuting in the stag that I best get an iPod dock installed.

I have the iPod Nano (3rd gen), wonder if you can get docks to suit them?

I like the idea of having it mounted in the front ashtray and hooked up to the stero and tv for h.264 playback.

Anyone know a place in Sydney that could do this fitout?? Crankin' Car Audio??

There are lots of docks available. I found them all while looking for my solution. In the end the boys here ordered a cable form Melb so I didn't need to get one from overseas like I thought. The cable I got will also charge the phone as that was important to me (being a phone and all). I beleive it is universal and will work with all ipods. The cheaper ones don't charge. I went with the cable becuase I got them to build a dock in the ashtray but Andy bought himself a nice dock that doesn't require any fitted attaching to anything (just clips on) - he's using a similar cable to mine.

yep they used a cable from stinger. they are a decent cable to use and quite generic. its when you want control that things change..

bisebee ,

$3-400. depending on the time I spend on it. that said I can probably do it here if I had the entire panel to work with.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
