Ive brought a TV tuner of Commsman a while ago and have had it installed for ages with no problem.

About a month ago (not to sure when as I hardly use it) it just seamed to not work I get no pictcher or sound. I thought it must have just been the antenna but on the weekend I tried the antennas that came with the kit but its still the same.

I went over the wiring and it all seams ok. I hooked it to a TV and still get the same thing.

This is what comes up on the screen

Dose anyone have any ideas of what it could be or is anyone around south east Melbourne that has one that I could swap in to test

Thanks Andrew

Hi Andrew, can you remove it and plug it into the aux input of your house TV?

You will still need to power up your antennas so maybe putting the TV in your car may be easier. That would help eliminate some possibilities.

I'd send you a new one to test if I had any left.

I ran a RCA cable from one of the spare yellow outputs to a TV If thats what you mean?

Got the same thing on the screen.

That's a pretty good test. I'm guessing you don't get anything if you use the remote either, ie does any menu display come up?

I had a less than great run out of these tuners, with more than what I'd call acceptable being DOA or dying within a week of going in. However, those that worked seem to be OK (mine is still good after nearly 2 years).

This is your 2nd one isn't it? I'm sure I sent you a replacement previously. I hope there's no underlying issue with your car's power etc. Did you run accessory power from a fuse up front or take power from the existing tuner?

Ive tried pressing all the buttons on the remote and nothing works. Made sure the battery was good as well.

This is the first one, havent had a replacement. I got power from up the front. IIRC its from the switch that controls the exhaust volume

The tuners are also dependant on the factory tuner working properly. If that fails, then whatever is before the factory tuner, be it the aussie tuner or reverse camera, will also not show up.

It could also be a screen problem.

I had an instance where nothing showed up on my screen, not even the trip computer. I pushed the button on top of the screen to retract it and pushed it again to lift it and it magically came back to life. I powered tuner off the factory tuner as per the instructions from here.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
