hi guys

im looking at redoing the stereo in my M35 250t.. ive got the single din CD player + tripple gauges and i am thinking of gutting it all, along with the TV and buttons/controls for the screen

What id like to do, is put a single din DVD head unit + single din tv (7in pop out) where the factory CD player and gauges are.

Then, remove the screen and controls and make a plate or "something" to sit 3 after market gauges on, so they're recessed into the consol.

Then remove the Jap navigation CD thingy in front of the passenger

Then remove the TV tuner in the back and look at making a sub enclosure in the side/s

soo.... what problems will i have? :)

Hey Mate,

You need to un-do screws behind the clock, glovebox and drivers footwell. Undo the gear stick too.

Here is link to youtube, it's on American car but just reverse sides, process is the same

First part, no problems. Should be a nice upgrade.

Second part, won't cause you too many problems except the hassle of trying to fit gauges into the mechanism. If it were me, I'd use the pop up screen to show the gauges electronically. You could probably display 6 on there at any one time with decent resolution.

Then if you decide to sell the car later on, it will be more desirable as the screen is functioning (IMO). Though you will need to find another spot for the sub...

Good luck with the project and, whatever you end up deciding to do, please show us the pics :rolleyes:

in it they undo the yellow airbag cable. i found that you didnt. just unclip it from your glovebox and leave it so u dont get the airbag light come up on your dash. this is one of the best videos for what you need. good luck.

If you go the single DVD player you could just play that into the OEM screen.

I think most fold out screens would have a dvd player in it anyway. So you wouldnt need both. And a fold out screen might cover your aircontrols.

The tuner in the boot is protected by the body on both sides so even if you remove it it will just leave an empty slot. You maybe could put a small amp in there.

I've got pretty much what you're looking for, except I have a single DIN DVD headunit with a fold out 7" screen and one of Leon's HDTV tuners wired into the stock TV tuner... I'm not sure why you'd want two separate units?

My headunit is then wired to the stock screen and two headrest screens in the back.

Looks good, works well (besides a couple of warranty issues with the headunit), and plays CDs/DVDs/MP3s/MP4s/DivX/Bluetooth/iPod/etc. Only other thing you could possibly want is Blu-ray, and it's pretty hard to get as far as I could tell.

And best of all, looks almost stock! :thumbsup:

I think Brad is being a bit pessimistic there. I'm thinking you could fit a decent sized amp in each side, and am thinking of hooking an amp in the right hand side. Recently I had one of the Focal low profile subs recommended to me, which will fit in the spare wheel well, or possibly in the side?

how do i show gauges on the screen? that would be geat ! the only reason i want to remove the screen is because the resolution isn't exactly awesome and the TV unit i have is better. plus, i dont really want to go adding heaps of extra bits of kit to make the jap stuff work. id rather just pull it all out and put in new stuff that works for our stereo bandwidth and TV networks.

am definitely keen to keep the factory look happening as i dont like things all over the place, which is why i was going to massage some gauges into the gap left by the factory screen.

the reason im using a single din DVD and single din TV is because i bought them ages ago and still have them - so figure i might as well put them to good use... i need to check if the have the inputs i want again, if not, i'll up grade to something else, but my over all aim to have a functioning TV, DVD and some gauges.

What have you got in there now?

I've replaced one light, and am about to replace a second, with Narva Compac 100 spotlights with HID conversions using the standard fog light mounts.

For blanking plates, PM Ironpaw, think he has/will soon have some spares?

how do i show gauges on the screen? that would be geat !

The HKS Fcon iS piggyback has a plug in harness for the ECU and yellow RCA output to display various readouts on screen.

Commsman can make you up an adaptor cable to plug straight into the OEM popup unit, or if you go with a double din aftermarket screen, you could probably just plug it straight in using a generic yellow RCA cable.

^^^ but nothing for factory ecu - has to be FCON ??

It depends on how much trouble you want to go to. A Carputer with an OBDII cable & software seems to be the most common way guys do it. Do a search on the V35 forum for some threads or Google OBD2 software, carpc etc

getting a bit too much effort i'll just pull all the bits out i dont want/need and sort gauges and other stuff later - future greg's problem :P

Leave them in! As said above, you don't need to remove the single din gauges, and it could effect resale.

Go for the factory look. I can take some pics of mine if you want.

I wish it was that easy...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
