Which Band Expander/ Oz Sat Nav For Oem V35..

[chiefster1976]

I own a 04 V35 skyline..

I have had the screen converted to English..cost $180 which is Steep after having it done for what your going to use is for is pretty expensive..

Although I do like the fact I can change my service interval dates(once a year..)

I figured seeing as though I have had that done i am in the process of getting my iphone working through the Jap tv tuner in next couple of weeks through Simon In Brisbane..

I will be doing the band expander shortly. Im looking at only 2 types i can find on ebay.

One swears 18MHZ is the best way to go but only has a positive wire and the other shows it has a neg and positive feed which will

STOP the humming sound...

Anyone have much advice which to go for??

Regarding SAT Nav . Although im not too bothered going to the expensive efforts just for sat nav, i stumbled across this company below has managed to successfully use the original OEM Jap screen to uk maps and have hidden away a sat nav that can connect through the t.v screen...

possibly done for AU?

how much $$ do you want to throw it at? I did them years ago and did a LOT of them but people bitched at the 4 figure price tag.

Well looking at the connections from jap tuner to 3x RCA outputs is an easy fix to get your ipod working on your TV. All you need then is 3 RCA to ipod cable.

JOB done..

I admit although IMO $180 is steep to get it into English its better for resale so I got it done. Only need the band expander fitted now.

$180 English conversion

$ 30-60 approx. for cables.

$ 15 FM band expander.

Still need the ipod dock for the ashtray...

You can get the parts cheap.

However finding someone to "install" it it for a reasonable price is another story...

Hi Chris, did you ever successfully change the sat nav to utilize the oem buttons (the ones that are in Japanese)? How close to having the whole system fully converted can you get? Is there anything that is not possible to convert? I think a 4 figure price is reasonable if it is comprehensive.

shelved the idea. I have the buttons mapped but due to lack of interest and everyone bitching about costs I left it be.

3 posts above is a prime example.
