Hi All,

Just curious, has anyone ever installed the pop up OEM sat nav screen (not so concerned with the screen just the actual pop up mechanism and screen casing) in a m35 model that does not have the sat nav as standard (the one that has the mini glovebox instead)? Considering putting the screen in but would like to have it neat and 'stock looking'

If not any suggestions for nice places/methods of mounting a 7" screen?

thanks guys :)

Maybe do a double din conversion?

I'm looking at doing something similar. Although I have a double din fascia to go in, I already have a single din Pioneer PRS99 to install and will probably fill the gap with the Defi Din Gauge. For the monitor I am considering the Mimics X2 or a simple touchscreen and mini PC. As the navi buttons won't be needed I was just going to fill the space with a trim piece or something.

Someone in the States has already installed a touch screen in place of the OEM nav screen a few years ago in their Infiniti G35 (essentially the same interior). Dracov's CarPC. Stock Navi replacement DIY. The process would be similar for a Series 1 M35. As for installing the pop-up mechanism in a non-navi Stag, I can't see why (I hope) it can't be done so long as you get all the parts required and can get the little button on top to trigger the monitor to go up and down. As soon as I can get a navi monitor and trim I will be giving this a go anyway.

Just be aware that in Series 2 M35s, the stereo fascia (integrated or double din) is slightly taller (a few mms) on non-navi models. So if you get a navi pop-up screen the trim will overlap. This picture shows the difference - the non-navi is on the right.

This photo shows another idea for installing a screen (I think this is an SAU member's Stagea). If you're handy with fibreglass, this shouldn't be too hard to make. Unless someone knows where to source this item.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
