Has anyone thought of using one of these to run more than 1 component into this tuner? This way you could run a dvd player, iPhone, reverse camera and fit this unit neatly in the top glove box and switch between them.

That would work well except it wouldn't automatically switch to the reverse camera if it was on a different input at the time. Otherwise a very cheap way of sharing the input between multiple devices.

A few of us have looked for similar devices previously, but nothing as good as that for so little expense has been spotted before. Nice find. :thumbsup:

Yeah Im thinging of using this to run the iPhone and dvd player under the front passenger seat as its already there. Im grabbing a tv tuner from Brad tomorrow so looking at what else I can use to hook it all up.

What are people using to connect an iPhone? are they using a spec dock or just an Ebay iPhone to RCA with powered wires to charge the phone then run it into the console?

That does look to be quite good but todate all the ones I have tried have not been that crash hot.

With Leon's Tuner you have 2 input sources (1 x RCA & 1 x USB). You can also rig an additional input directly for the reverse camera to the OEM tuner.

Not sure how many devices you want to run but that would give you, TV tuner, Reverse camera, Iphone plus hard drive with all your movies and music.

I like my setup for iPod, just using a USB cable direct to the deck. Works well!

Didn't get a chance to check the iPhone stuff today but sounds like you don't need to now :thumbsup:

Is the USB limited to a certain size hard drive? My JVC double DIN dvd deck can only read from a max of 4gig via usb.

Not 100% sure on that as I don't have this Tuner in my car but an older Asuka one.

Leon, may know the answer to this.

I do know that it has to be a PC formatted hard drive.

I personally don't use my DVD headrests very much at all, just the kids do. When I am in the car I just use the iphone for movies and music.

How/what are you using to connect the iPhone?

Spec doc was stupidly expensive when I looked at it, but it is nice. Just do a google search for Spec Doc, they have photos on their web site.

Fat32 isn't more limiting, as Fat32 limits file size, not sure it limits partition size?

Hi Everyone

Getting back to the original point of this thread, I just picked up another shipment of 20 tuners from the PO.

I will message everyone that has contacted me in the last few weeks & confirm delivery info.

I was told that these ones were a different colour (black, not gold), slightly smaller & included an SD card slot. Well, the manufacturer must have found some more of the original housing because these ones are exactly the same as the last lot.

So, please accept my apologies if you were hanging out for an SD slotted black tuner of more petite proportions.

Cheers, Leon.

What model spec dock is it? I may grab the same. Any pics of it installed?

This is the correct Spec dock for our cars; http://stores.homest...V2AV/Detail.bok

Cost was about $190Us including freight and at the time i bought mine that was around $220 ozzie.

I just enjoy the fact that phone is always charged and music or favorite movie is always at hand.

No gear knob Andy? Did you take the picture before it was put back together or are you going for that "just stolen" look :happy: .

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
