Team, I have a problem with the nav sat screen which pops up from the central console in my Series II. It comes up but goes straight back down i.e. won't stay up. Is this a known problem? Any ideas on what i can do to resolve this? Something I can press or reset perhaps?

switch on top may be stuffed. does the screen work at all?

Normally the screen comes up, thinks for a bit (I assume it's waiting for the Nav DVD to boot - but it isn't loaded), then gives me a menu option in Japanese. If I push the middle, top line button I get the wider menu which I can select items like 'fuel economy'. If I push the screen button again, it retracts.

Now, today, if I push the screen button, the screen comes up, sits there for a second, and then retracts - nothing has a chance to appear on the screen. The switch appears to work fine, it's just the screen seems to decide 'bugger this - I'm outta here'...

Viagra? :P

Viagra? :P

Lol, Tarun! :laugh:

Anyhow, once the dealer from where I got mine from (I drop by occasionally at their car yard) told me that one of their other V35 is also having the same issue (That is the Sat NAV screen not being able to stay open by itself for long).

Is it just a wear-and-tear thing, or a serious common issue with the V-series? :(

I don't have any issues with my pop-up screen......

I don't have one.

I got a 7" tilt screen in the center instead!

Well, for what it's worth, the problem has resolved itself. Just returned from my second round-trip from Canberra to the Gold Coast, and the Nav Screen was working fine all the way. I'm thinking the original problem was caused by interior heat which played havoc with the switch (contacts sticking perhaps?) - I tilted the screen forwards and backwards and tapped the switch, and eventually it started to work properly again. This time...

BTW, off topic, but this car was built for the highway. The coupe body, auto gear ratios, torquey engine and comfortable seats make the car the perfect sports tourer. Family flew up to the Gold Coast and I took a couple of days to drive up (and back) taking little side-detours onto the original Pacific Highway. Played hop-scotch with a HR33 GTR between Coffs Harbour and Taree (heh heh). As I explained to my wife - that's *my* holiday... cool.gif

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
