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.

Cheers

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.

Cheers

Andy

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.

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.
