Tv Tuning

[THRLLR]

Hi All,

another question about my stagea. i am not sure what stereo options were available in japan for the 260RS when it was sold. I found a massive bundle of wires that started behind the stereo and ran all the way to the boot of the stagea and ended tucked into the left side of the car (LHS rear wheel area). connected to nothing at either end, but it seems there was a cd stacker behind the left boot trim, now just empty space.

When it arrived here it had been decked out with aftermarket system, AddZest (Clarion). It had the DVD Head unit with slideout screen and hideaway box/receiver, 5.1 surround component and TV Tuner.

I have managed to get most things working fine however 2 things are left that are bugging me. The radio tuner's range is not expanded and i wanted to know what i have to do to expand it to tune all australian radio stations.

Also, how do i receive TV signals/channels in australia (melbourne). Does it have anything to do with the FM expander? or is it something else entirely? Can anyone help me understand what is required to get the TV Tuner (Addzest/Clarion) box to display. All i get is static when i try to find a signal.

From memory, i think you can't do much with the Radio unless you change the whole unit. For TV, get a Digital TV tuner from Ebay, try a local supplier so at least the product has been set to receive AU signal.

If its the tuner from japan it wont work here. It is a different system. Replace it with an aussie one and feed that into your screen. You can still use the aerials that were connected to it and it has nothing to do with a band expander. If you want to expand your radio you need an FM band expander with the 2 pins and it plugs in line with your radio antenna and is powered up by ACC.

Awesome much appreciated. i thought as much about the tv tuner but i couldnt find anything to tell me otherwise. Does it have to be a Clarion unit? or any tv tuner?

Thanks heaps for the info it all makes much more sense now

Any tv unit, as long as it picks up aussie tv signals and outputs to NTSC
