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:

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
