Hey All,

My S2 Stagea has a problem with it's Xanavi head unit. It seems to power up and beep, i can control the temp and the radio works, but the screen is totally blank. I have had the car for about a month and one random day the screen turned on and everything worked perfectly (all be it in Japanese) but then when i turned off the car the screen went blank and it hasn't turned on since.

So it seems like the screen works fine, but there is a power connection or something somewhere.

Does anybody have ANY idea how to solve this? Is it a common problem? Is there anybody I can sent it to and get it fixed (i'm in the UK but happy to ship to Aus)

It's such a bummer as the aircon etc all operate through this so i can't just remove it.

DOH!

Any help, much appreciated!

Cheers

Chris

Hey Guishnu

I can only suggest to remove the entire unit and look in the back. There's quite a few plugs, maybe one has become dislogded and it's not recieving an ignition or power signal. I removed mine recently and noticed there's a fan at the back, which i assume is to keep the display cool as it heats up. It might be that at some point your display has overheated. Keep in mind these units can be 12yo or more.

Good luck and keep us posted if you solve it

Cheers

Hi, just got a s2 stagea with the xanavi headunit too. When i went on the freeway (100km/h) i noticed my screen turned blank and stayed blank after a few min. I could use the aircon, turn on/off and and the other button on the climate light up. 2 min after slowing down from 100km/h the screen came back as normal. Not sure if this is of any relevance to your fault but it may be something to check, somehow.

Totally randomly, it has started working today. May be something to do with the weather getting hot here in the UK. I'm wondering if it's some damp or moisture in the system somewhere?

Weird.

Now from past experience with my old R32 with the aircon controls and other electronics. Nissan's PCBs are prone to what its called "dry solder" issues(when solders become loose with the components due to age). What I ended up doing is re-heating the old solder to make it stick to the components again. Not sure if this would help but surely

Nissan would have improved their soldering techniques by now!

Yeah, there is a problem with it somewhere. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't :-(

It actually only seems to work when it's hot outside...

Anybody selling a second hand one?

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
