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'...

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

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
