hey all

just sold the 260 today... looking to get an rs4 for a tow rig...

ive found one im semi into... it nas xanavi witch neither of my stags have had b4... ive never actualy played with it...

is it all im japanese?

does it control audio also? (theres a single din tape player under it i believe)

how had is it to get the tv working while driving?

would i need to get a headunit in there??

the lower headunit said 'cd change' is the xanavi unit a stacker also?

ill have more of a play tomorrow when i actualy properly see the car...

cheers!

is it all in japanese? yes

does it control audio also? to a small degree

how had is it to get the tv working while driving? easy, plenty written about this over the years, you will need a digital tv tuner that outputs in NTSC and a unit which allows screen to be viewed whilst car is in motion.

would i need to get a headunit in there?? no, depends on where you want to go with setup.

the lower headunit said 'cd change' is the xanavi unit a stacker also? stacker in back

Basically your xanavi (in oz) is just a screen for operating the air con and an input for any NTSC video signal (tv, dvd, sat nav etc) you put through it. The inbuilt Jap Navigation and Jap TV are unusable.

You can just get a DVD head unit to replace the tape player and run all the sound etc out of it. Then just hook the screen up for displaying the picture. This is what i have done. If you go this option get a dvd-mp3 player. You can fit so many mp3s on a DVD. My player also displays the song and artist information on the xanavi screen.

The video input is in the back behind the left hand strut tower (from memory) you will have to remove the interior panel.

There is a jack in the front of the stock unit that allows you plug an ipod etc. in. Then you just have to figure out the menus to select the right source. If you do put in another head unit you will loose this function as all the sound will be through the new unit.

To have the screen on while driving you will need to get your hands on a device that plugs in between the screen and the main loom. I have no idea what they call them, basically it just intercepts the signals and allows the screen to stay on. Unfortunately there is not a simple wire around solution. The car may have one in it already, mine did.

Sorry car is at the workshop without an engine atm so I don't have pic's... if I come across one I'll post... but yeah I think aftermarket headunits can be made to mount just as flush as the OEM unit (the single-DIN one at the bottom of the xanavi setup)... if that's what you mean. Mine did. I just left the outer plastic surround/frame thing that comes with the headunit off.

I recommend getting one with at least a USB port, 'cause 16-32GB USB keys are pretty cheap these days and a (* load easier to manage (IMHO ;)) than cds/dvds etc. Also recommend bluetooth capability for your phone...

I think nobody's mentioned yet that the xanavi screen folds down (has an "eject" button) and behind it there is a slot-load CD player. Plus when it's folded down it doubles as a drink shelf :D

There are two 3.5mm phono sockets (the kind usually found on headphones etc) on the front of the xanavi unit; top is for video and bottom for audio (99% sure could be the other way round!)

To use as an input you press the TV button (is marked in English) and select "VR2" input on the touch-screen.

The climate control is also handled by the touchscreen; very cool. The two Jap "buttons" (on-screen) below the image of the air source are for manual selection of air source (left button) and outside temperature (right button). Temperature display etc are in English.

If you install an aftermarket headunit, you can wire the output from the Xanavi unit into its auxilary input. This is how I have mine setup. That leaves me with the front panel audio/video inputs on the Xanavi still working, the NTSC sound output and the internal CD player output, all working through my aftermarket headunit. You'll need a 5-pin DIN plug to do this (easily available). If you need the pinouts just let me know but pretty easily found by testing.

another unit witch hooks in **dont no where???** that lets it play while driving?? what are these called where from?

ive gota nokia carkit ill use anyway

No need to have an aftermarket head unit unless you plan on running amps, subs etc.

edit: sorry for shit photo's- iphone @ night lol

- My iphone plugs direct in the system and doubles as a incar phone kit too- just plug into phone. When someone calls the phone thinks you have earphones in- all audio goes through sound system:

- Standard headunit is linked to a 6 stacker in boot:

- You can also put 1 CD at a time into the Xanavi unit (screen pops down):

- My Xanavi has a digital TV tuner installed (thanks to chook! Oh and the blue thing is just a power inverter i use to power the DVD player- plugs into power socket in boot, but could easily be hardwired).

- DVD player sits in pouch behind passenger seat with small slit in seat covers- small enough to put underneath passenger seat also:

If your looking for a stagea with xanavi and can tow you know mine is for sale :P

  • 3 weeks later...
so you have a dealer fitted reverse cam?

theres a way to make that thing switch by itself you know. ( I need the OEM TV box to do it.)

I'm sure you can :3some:

The factory one comes with a little relay as per diagram (KK6383)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
