Hi,

Has anyone had a play with an iPhone and an external GPS unit ?

There is an App out called RoqyGPS that allows you to use an External GPS unit via bluetooth for all the navigation apps that iPhone currently have like Tom Tom and Navigon.

An external GPS which you can pickup for around $50 on ebay is alot better than the current GPS unit/chip inside the iPhone, reviews state there is no lag and one user even compared it to there stand alone Tom Tom GPS unit and said they worked identically, Also you can use these on older 2G iPhone that do not come with GPS.

Ideally I would love to run the iPhone through to the OEM screen through the leads C Rogers can supply plus another App that is out (Screen Splitr) but the problem I am running into is how to answer calls while the iPhone is sending AV output through to the OEM screen :)

I cannot use a portable bluetooth handsfree kit as the iPhones bluetooth is being used for External Bluetooth GPS.

There is a Non-Bluetooth GPS Receiver for the iPhone that I have seen called the GPS360 that plugs into the dock/bottom of the iPhone but this would not allow the plug for the AV output to be plugged into the iPhone. :D

I am not worried about touching the iPhone to answer calls or enter addresses and am waiting for a reply from Chris to see if when you answer the iPhone while AV is being outputted will you hear the call through the Cars Speakers... So I have also looked into an external mic for the iPhone which will work in this case but the problem here is all the info I read about external mics is that audio is transmitted to the headphone jack as the iPhone thinks headphones are plugged in.

If anyone has overcome this problem (not with a complete standalone GPS unit, I want to use the OEM Screen ) , Or has any other ideas. Please post I am pretty much googled. :thumbsup:

I guess, the easies answer will be: Set you IP to auto anwer income call model, connect the mic to dock.

Buy the TomTom car kit for iPhone. I have it and it's excellent, I use TomTom navigation with it and it is as good as a stand alone unit as it has a GPS enhancer chip. Also gives you hands free through Bluetooth for calls. A little pricy at $160 but I think worth it. I wouldn't bother with the oem screen in the v35 personally, it's a novelty.

Good idea , didn't think about 'Auto Answer' but regarding the mic connected to a dock would this work while still outputting AV ?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
