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 ?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
