Hey everyone,

Well I'm picking up my V35 in the next few weeks and it has a Carrozzeria system in it with TV/NAV/HDD

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about these systems? (if they play divX?, and if i can buy a hard drive for it or rig up a USB input). Mechanic at the compliance workshop told me that straight off the bat when he turned it on it picked up Channel 10

Only other question is about FM Expanders, is there one I can buy that means I don't have to lose half of the Australian radio stations? (eg: having 89 - 104, or 94 - 108)

Sorry if it has been asked a thousand times, I did a quick search and couldn't find much of use. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Well I'm picking up my V35 in the next few weeks and it has a Carrozzeria system in it with TV/NAV/HDD

Firstly congratulations on your car man.. good to see another Brisbane V owner :thumbsup:

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about these systems? (if they play divX?, and if i can buy a hard drive for it or rig up a USB input).

I have the same system. Haven't tested divx yet.. actually only tested one DVD which didn't work in any DVD player lol so haven't really tested that out.. will update you when I can.

When you get this (fingers crossed), hopefully the owner will have sent you all the stuff that goes with it.

The unit does not work (Cd/DVD etc) unless the hard drive is plugged in (bottom part of display folds down to plug it in).. once you turn it on, it greets you in Japanese (mine does lol).

I have a friend who can read Japanese so will hopefully be able to turn that off.. apparently the menu can be turned into English but I gave up trying that in settings. If I find out, will post a how to.

Haven't really tested the TV that much however I think it may have more to do with the receiver (in the boot) than the antenna as I did a quick scan and picked up random radio stations but no TV.

In the boot is the reciever.. if you got the full system than fingers crossed it will have a reverse camera as well (mine did). It should be above the license plate. Mine came with a 10 stack MD stacker on the boot (lol, removed it) which then revealed the input for the receiver under it.

It should be all plugged up.. the main 2 for your benefit is VTR1 and VTR 2. VTR 2 is for the camera. Once connected, you go into the menu/av/some button than you can select to have either VTR 1 or 2 on or off. If you have both on, it won't display.

VTR1 you can use to plug to a phone or something. I plugged in my N8 which comes up on the screen (I had the A/V cables from a N95 than bought a 3M extensions 3.5mm female to 3.5 Male cable) and it's plugged to my phone if I want. Quality of the phone display isn't the best but meh, does the job.. and seeing as Nokia has brilliant GPS, will come handy but it was more so for playing music.

Haven't toyed around with USB yet but Ipod/phone etc should be enough for you as it will run using the AUX VTR.

Mechanic at the compliance workshop told me that straight off the bat when he turned it on it picked up Channel 10

Only other question is about FM Expanders, is there one I can buy that means I don't have to lose half of the Australian radio stations? (eg: having 89 - 104, or 94 - 108)

I haven't bought one yet as don't use the radio as much but will update you if I do.

Also the HDD should come with all the cables etc (it will slot into a larger unit which is what you use to plug to the compute to transfer data.. I haven't got the USB cable yet but not really in a rush.. mine came with a bunch of Japanese gangsta rap.. I"m not kidding about that lol)

Hope that is enough to get you started. :action-smiley-069:

For some reason could not edit my post, I meant Tuner in the boot, not reciever. The Usb input for the HDD is a cable for it is a USB A to USB A which I will Ebay or Jaycar it. If you get the whole package sent, you will get a HDD reader which requires power and USB.

Most TV tuners out of Japan won't pick up any/all Aust channels. You may be lucky with yours tho. Have a play when you get it & let us know the result.

If it doesn't work properly & you want TV in your V, I have another batch of tuners arriving next week which also have input for reverse camera, USB & SD card slots & outputs to 3 screens.

Cheers, Leon.

Well looks like I didn't get the hard drive caddy :(

is it just a standard hard drive in a caddy?

Also,

Sometimes the screen will pop out and sometimes not... is there a trick to that?

Thanks for your help!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
