Hi Guys, sorry for the delay on the reply.

After multiple attempts to get the nav conversion going i've been offered a refund by the supplier/installer who just can't seem to quite get the thing going so i'm going back to the video out option from my samsung mobile which works nicely anyway. Gives both video and audio directions from the factory screen and speakers system but obviously no touchscreen on the headunit. If anyone wants to see the phone approach just let me know and i'll get some photos uploaded.

Thanks

Hi Scarf

There is an interesting thread presently running that uses an IPhone 4

see:

Video In Motion Solution, Cheapskate - DIY Job for those with iPhones

Its for a V35 - but I wonder if it could work on a V36 with the av input plugs and the V36 JDM TV??

nope.

4 figure sum though and I won't elaborate on which side either.

that is just unfortunate

is there a solution to get at least the tv working? i can survive on my phone gps like i have in the past, just not the holistic solution for a new car that i would've liked, oh well.

thanks

without money - not really.

that car is unique to japan and as such the systems are as well. to get it working outside that country is a full refit and that also counts for the TV side of things.

that could work if th car was sitting still.

the thing people are not getting with this car is the complexity of it. you can't simply bang a box into it. it all has to be linked in properly.

OK I have a victim :P

red 370 SP with a touch screen. WA customer.

stay tuned for a rework of it. I'm probably going to dump the HD as well.

anyone keen for a fiddle.

processor is a hitach SH4.

OK:

this is a NON NAVI car I am working on. now the unit that is in it IS IDENTICAL to the local 370Z unit. plugs,wiring,screen - everything!

for those that want a easy way out of the radio and lack of navi issues - 370Z/G37 panel IS THE WAY TO DO IT!

firmware would stop it. already been down this path with 3 toyota units. it will load it speak in english but not load the maps or anything else.

the only reason I mentioned the non navi car is that it uses a jap variant of the 370z item and whilst looking at the USDM and local 370 z manuals its the same unit electrically.

the navi version of the V36 is ENTIRELY different.

Chris,

Could you list which version is possible to convert or are you still playing with car from WA? What functionality it would get? Also what is your estimates in $$?

I take non-navi doesn't have any cameras and dash buttons layout is different so can identify easily?

Thanks.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
