Hi Guys,

I bought one of the gold HD DVB-T receivers of Commsman about a year ago and I finally got around to fitting it. It fires up and sends a signal to the display but I can't get it to stop scrolling. I can see the menu for the tuner, but it flashes by so fast I can't do anything. Do I need to adjust the factory display somehow or do i need to reset the tuner?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers.

I set the factory display to the symbol that "Chook" pointed out in his tutorial, so I believe that is in NTSC. It is in black n white as well so maybe I do need to set the tuner. How do you do it when it's scrolling and hard to read the menu settings?

The tuner is set to PAL then. You will have to read the instructions and go step by step and hope it changes when you get to the right menu. Or you can plug it into a TV in side your home and go through the menu till you find the NTSC menu and press it. Then it will make the TV in the home look strange then take it back to your car and plug it in.

Ive been able to go through the menu with the same screen with luck

Thanks for that. I ended up plugging it in to the home tv and that sorted it.

Just a couple of notes for anyone else thinking of doing it. In the tutorial it mentions to look for a blue wire in the loom to use as a trigger for the antenna power relay. Well I found 2 blue wires, one had 0.3V and the other had 12V as soon as the accessory was switched on. Rather than have the antenna amps running constant, i used a remote switch in the console to switch a fused relay that now powers the new tuner as well. I've taken the power from the rear 12V accessory power socket so it'll still switch of with the ignition.

Another thing is 12year old plastic trim is quite brittle so i think a trim removal tool is a good investment if you want your trim to go back properly. And while the trim was off i also noticed what's involved to change the tail light globes . . bugger that!

Does anyone know how to disable the video block while the car is in motion? I found a thread that mentions grounding C1 or Cont 1 in the OEM tuner but they also mention this is for the aux 1 input. As I only had a single set of inputs on the tuner which is aux 2 i don't think this will work for me. I also saw a mention of getting in behind the head unit but i found no other details.

I'm not sure if it is set up with the foot brake either. It only blocked the dislay when i put it in gear whether i had the foot brake on or not.

Cheers

The c1 pin is on the m35. You will either have to buy a little black box from Japan that does that or start cutting and shorting wires behind your screen. Dont get confused that the c34 and m35 are set up different.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
