[Russian]

Hey y'all!

Just wanted to share what I've done to my stagea

Basically just bought an infiniti G35 2003 model Stereo CD center console with navigation + DVD player and fitted it to my stagea.

Apart form that I changed LEDs to red, just something for myself.

Cool, so the G35 is obviously quite compatible, since you are viewing fuel usage info etc. I thought you had to re-chip the stereo... nice

needs modification? or straight fit? with all the navi working fine?

whats so hard about it. he had a navi car to begin with and bolted the USDM gear into it. the cruise unit came from me.

No need to be narky Chris, I think he was asking about the steps involved in doing the install.

I wasn't

if you can put a band expander into it then you are pretty much done. out with one section and in with the other. the navi unit plugs in. there are a few spare leads left over from the TV side of things but thats it. the LED's - pass. too many and way too fiddly for the average punter.

only minor downer is the lack of AM. FM is useable.

chipping the radio was something I was working on and I cannot get the thing to stop drifting off the station..

Aren't the US and JAP navi systems different though?

I thought that the Japan system is a Xanavi... not sure about the US system, but maybe something over here uses the same type of navi? Toyota maybe??

[Chris Rogers]

similar chassis though it runs a different software mapping engine to anything here.

vlad's idea fixed the most common bugbears of these cars. he did lose the TV option though. (I'm assuming he had it in the first place.)

[Angus Smart]

not worth paying 600usd for?

[Chris Rogers]

up to you really. I bought a radio chassis to screw with for the same reason.

[zei20l]

the navi might be easier to find a disc for. we get enough US products (because they are english based) that something might be close enough to work..............
