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 ?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
