Ok thanks guys, has the dvd player in the small glove box and a tv switch and maybe he was talking shit but honestly seemed legit and is still avail if I need to ask him anything and he just said the fuse needs to be replaced?

This may be retarded but where are the fuses located anyway?

Fuse to get regency clearance? Wtf? Sounds like car salesman bs to me...

Firstly sat nav DVD player? Won't work...

Search for Commsman he'll be able to sort you for in car digital tv....

Post some pics of them the guys will comment.

Oh "search" function is your friend everyone will tell you too!

Nice ride though mate.

Thanks man, yeah I was smashing the search button heaps of different things for sure.

I have the pic of the inside;

Yeah true, do you know where I would locate the fuses for this sort of thing by any chance?

I have downloaded a fuse chart for them but not sure if its the internal one or engine bay ones, I presume internal but just not sure what panel it would come under hmmmmm

Other than this very minor thing pretty impressed with my Stagea a great car should have done it well before the WRX days!

The radio fuse is under bonnet, just near the battery

Thanks for that, does any one have fuse diagrams for 03 axis nm35? both the one in the kick panel and in the engine bay?

Bet the fuse he is on about is the one for the screen... Basically all of the aftermarket ones are DVD players as well and so have been hacked so that the movies play when car is in motion. This would need to be disabled for compliance. Hopefully they have just unplugged something.. Just google the model number of the Sat Nav, and you should find some technical docs. They will be in Japanese but you should get the gist...

My aftermarket Panasonic still works perfectly with region free NTSC discs and also has a iPod controller plugged into the AUX inputs.

Good luck!!

Ok so I had an Auto Elec who is into Imports and he checked both under the bonnet and in the kick panel and he said that all fuses that should be there are he doesn't think it's any of them. Question, does anyone know if there is another fuse behind the screens by any chance, I know some stereos have them so just wondering before I go pulling things apart is all. Cheers

Could be a blown on board fuse.... Surface mount type.. Would require removal and disassembly.... Fun job..... Can you solder? And have a fine tip iron?

Good luck mate

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
