Hey Andy, do you still offer installation at Ryde?

You did the install in my M35 last year.

I'd like to get one installed in my Evo which has a factory Sat Nav screen with TV.

Please let me know. Cheers!

Yes, Still doing the installs but not sure what I would find in an EVO..

Hi,

Any ideas if these Tuner boxes work in NZ ?, I know we have a strange audio codec here.

Cheers

Hi Michael, I believe they do. I have some config files (load by USB port) that allow for operation in most places with most systems. The samples I was sent last year didn't work here (was able to select all the European countries but they had wrong channel spacing) but fixed it with a new file in about 4 minutes. I'd be happy to give you money back if it doesn't work in NZ.

Cheers, Leon.

Hi Jason, welcome to the forums. PM replied.

Hey Commsman, the Asuka tuner, accessories, Relay (for reverse camera) and wiring diagram arrived safely on Monday. (One working day after payment was sent)

Thanks for shipping it so fast mate. Looks real nice, cant wait to do the install.

I'll let you know how i go.

Sorry if the question has been asked, have only read 4/6 pages.

Does anyone know if a similar setup would work for a V36?

If your screen has an aux input then it should work. Do you have any pics of the factory tuner?

Hi

I read elsewhere that these tuners may have a usb & sd card slot in them; or is that a different tuner?

If it is these, as I will be looking at getting one for my Stagea,

1: would you be able to run a nav program thru the sd slot, (as I have unlocked my navman and it runs garmin/tom tom etc off the micro sd card)?

& 2: Is the factory pop up nav screen touch screen enabled therefore utilising the nav program that I may run thru the sd slot?

Any suggestions if it isnt a touch screen are welcome.

G'day.

USB = yes, SD = no. These were supposed to come with SD slot but for some reason that didn't happen. USB is for loading new firmware (not likely you will need this), for playing media files & for recording live TV for playing back later. I would say most people would rarely use these functions.

To answer your other questions; 1 - no. 2 - no.

Suggestions.... CarPC with touch screen overlay (decent sized project) or portable GPS with suction cap for windscreen (much simpler project), lol.

The TV tuner has an AV input which other people have used to display GPS on the pop up screen. You just set up your phone to navigate where you want to go & then plug it in. Have a chat with Brad since you are in SA.

Thanks Commsman,

Bummer bout the sd slot, Oh well I'll just have to keep on using my unlocked navman; would of been nice to use the factory screen, much better than the 4.7" of the navman.

BTW I couldnt see the input on the pics of the asuka tuner and I couldnt understand the concept of rca > headphone plug????!!!

Your tuner should have come with a lead that plugs in as per this pic. The part that goes into the tuner looks like a stereo headphone plug.

If you can get an output from your phone to mate up with it, you will have GPS on your nav screen as soon as you apply 12V to the yellow wire. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers, Leon.

Ah-ha your pic looks different to the pic on the first page of this topic, its missing from the preview.

I cant use my phone for a gps, I'm poor and only have a K1, hence why Im using a Navman.

Its starting to make sense now. :thumbsup:

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      By Chupapy · Posted

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo

      Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
