Hi All

Thought I would see if anyone knows how the lighting-dimmer circuit works on the Navigation/TV screen?

What I'm trying to do is stop the dimming of the Nav screen when the lights are turned on. I'm finding that at night or low light, the screen is too dark to see much through my reversing camera, where'as if I turn the lights off, I can see what is on the screen much better. So I thought I would disable the dimmer circuit for the screen.

My reversing camera is brand new and is working fine, so there is no problem with that.

I know that the screen dimmer circuit and the rest of the stereo/nav controls are separate when it comes to the lighting/dimmer.

I have a 2005 M35 Series 2 Stagea wagon.

I know what wires controls the lighting for the rest of the stereo and Nav control panel, but I'm not sure how the screen dimming is controlled.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately my Japanese is very poor. Do you have any idea what I should be looking for in regards to what could be on the screen that would indicate a choice in dimming or not dimming?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

OK this is how to do it on a WC34 Xanavi.

We have a Display/Screen button (画面) push this.

Then push the 減光切替(screen dimmer) touch screen button. This toggles from bright all the time to dim when the headlights are on. It's probably easier to do when the headlights are on as the screen will brighten/dim when you push the button.

It's probably different on the M35 OEM screen but you may be able to work it out from the Kanji characters.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that info, I had a look at the screen dimmer setup on my car and just by luck I happen to notice that when the lights are on the brightness control slider on screen was in a different position then when the lights were off.

So I have altered the lights on screen brightness and seems like it might have sorted my problem.

Thanks again.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
