No it wont force the screen

If your in tv mode on the screen you wont need to press anything. Shorting the C1 to ground does the same thing as pressing the TV button on the dash. You will need the C1 and relay if you want it fully automated. I just leave mine in TV mode

So is this pretty much the same for v35?

And say if i am using the rca input in the tuner for dvd player or mp3 player, how do I connect the camera rca cable so that it will come up when its on reverse gear and other device to be playing in any other gear. How do I put a relay switch to achive this?

I am a noob when it comes to these things so any info would be helpful.

Thanks

Yes, V35 is the same.

Use reverse lights to activate the relay.

Break the yellow video cable & switch those wires (may need double pole relay) between reverse cam & dvd player - the common side goes into the TV tuner.

Sound will play as usual with just the video switching away from dvd & displaying reverse camera whilever reverse lights are on. Easy :)

^^ Thanks Leon,

Just to make it clear for my self, I could use a relay like in this attachment?

And use left hand side to go to the tv tuner and other 2 connected camera and the aux in. ?

Any idea how to do the motion bypass?

And do you still have those aux in leads up for sale?

Thanks

You may need one like this so you can separate the inner & outer conductors. Just keep them as short as possible so the shielding is still effective.

I used another relay (also switched by reverse lights) to put an earth on terminal C1 in the tuner. It doesn't matter what is displayed on the screen, it will force it over to display the reverse camera & then switch back again when finished. (I suppose if you could find a triple throw relay you could do everything with the one device.)

To bypass the in-motion cut out, I extended another wire from C1 to earth via a switch at the front. When operated (& not in reverse) you use your remote to watch TV or switch to DVD, playstation or whatever is on your aux input.

The Xanavi guys say that it can be done in the programming. So if you haven't done the English conversion (& were intending to have it done), you could ask them about it

I don't have any leads made up, but can make one if you want. They're pretty straight forward if you have an old computer lying around.

Cheers, Leon.

thanks a lot leon..just a one more question.. In your diagram, shouldn't it be inner and outer dvd in the place of inner and outer camera because I want aux input to run by default and camera to be on by the reverse light?

I ll give it a go and see when i get my reverse camera .. :)

Let's say that pic is when car is in reverse & the relay has operated. In normal condition the switches will be down so DVD is sent thru to tuner.

yep got it.. Thanks leon.. will give it a go.. How big a relay should i use (voltage/current wise)?

So when u earth cont1, that does the motion bypass? when you do it this way do we loose all OEM functions related to motion/distance?? like the mileage or fuel consumption?

On a similar note, is there a wire down under the dash for reverse? Maybe on the TCM?

My head unit has a dedicated reverse input and a wire to switch, and I don't really want to run the wire down to the tailgate...

Just a small panel mount one will do. Jaycar sell plenty for <$10. Like this one for $4.95: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SY4061

Earthing C1 only locks the screen to the tuner Aux input. The fuel consumption info is still happening in the background & is viewable as soon as you remove the earth.

Yeah, that would be easier for you - if you already have the camera cabled. (See, I would have run the wire from the back at the same time as putting in the camera :) )

You could always look in the A/T manual... Tell you what; you get the package for me in the post & I'll give you the answer, lol.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
