Question From A New Stagea Owner

Hi all,

New Stagea owner from New Zealand here.

Loving my 2004 M35 250RX, had it for a week now, still getting used to all the bells and whistles.

I'm trying to get an AUX hooked up for music, I have had a look through the forums here and while there is alot of information regarding plugging in other devices to the TV tuner, I can't find anything on simply getting a 3.5mm AUX hooked into it.

AFAIK, this would be accessed though the ATR option on the OEM TV? any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Yup, you can setup an Aux cord including video for the TV to run, I'm currently using an iPod classic for all my music and it just runs though the TV tuner. Wiring take a little bi of running bu its worth it. I leave my Radio on Aux most of the time, or if you have the steering wheel controls, just press mode until it goes to aux (this is the easiest way I've found).

Take a look at this topic:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/203961-stagea-series-2-m35-digital-tv-upgrade/page-10

And you'll see the plug about 2 posts down to use. You can either make one of these (I think in that topic it tells you how), you can order one, or, if you are lucky enough, you might find a wrecked stagea with one of the looms. Simply plug it into the tv tuner (located in the passenger side of the boot, you need to remove the side pocket) and then route it to wherever you wish (mine is in my centre console)

Hope this helps

Hi Mat, you could also try an fm modulator that plugs inline with aerial plug behind the oem headunit. Thats what i have done with my car. What part of nz are you? I might able to help you with the install.

If you end up making it, its nice and easy, plus you can route the cables anywhere you like. I ended up placing a nice set into the side of the centre console (kind of like the wall mounted ones, or like wha you see out the back of a stero, but inside the centre console, if you get what i mean?) Was pretty easy, only required 3 small holes and a bit of solder for the wires, lookes nice and tidy, and is out of the way of prying eyes.

If you were anywhere near Tauranga I'd give you a hand.

Way down in Dunedin unfortunately, but you could tell me, do I need the whole handbrake bypass just to access audio when in the aux mode on the OEM tuner? also which pin on the plug at the back of the tuner do I hook into to access just the audio?

was thinking of doing something in the centre console as well (lots of space in there, out of the way).

I'll take a photo of mine, show you how the aux pins came out.

Na, if you have the TV in aux, you only need the handbrake bypass to access video. But if you're driving you don't really need the bypass anyways, unless you put in a reverse cam. But the audio still plays wen moving.

For the Audio, the pins are stated in this topic:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/347479-fitting-an-asuka-tv-tuner-in-a-m35/

The first post is great, it tells you how to wire up a lead of your own, and which pinouts are which in a nice diagram. If you are making your own lead, my suggestion is put the video in at the same time.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.

      Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.

      There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
