Jap To English Conversion

[Philr32]

Hi guys, who in Sydney does the conversion from Jap to English for the screen display in dash? I read a huge thread and it seemed like Jetwreck does it, I've PM'd him but haven't got a reply (maybe he's busy IDK). Is there anyone else that people know of that do these regularly?

Thanks in advance.

Can any authority on this subject create a DIY thread with all info? Would be awesome if we could just direct people to a single thread with an easy-to-read list of contacts and Q&A's.

Pretty please?

PM either Andy (Andy65b) or Craig (Jetwreck).

I don't know if they are still doing them, but may be able to point you in the right direction.

Original thread was in the V35 section: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/194126-software/page-2

I've read the original thread in V35 section (most if it anyway). I've already PM'd Jetwreck and on ur advice have now PM'd Andy. Hopefully get a resolution soon. Thanks!

Rip out pop us screen. Replace with pocket..... issue solved. Most usless part of a m35

I may be pulling out full sat nav that has been converted to english if you wanted to go that way

what kind of info do you need, Phil? i checked most of menu but nothing interested me. or you just want to know fuel consumption?

i could read some basic JAP because some JAP words are same as Chinese.

I can pretty much decipher most of it between pictures and a translate app it's just annoying and I like stuff to work properly lol.

On a side note it's got the standard CD player under the standard gauges in the centre, it won't tune to above 90, will a new head deck fix this or is the aerial/antenna an issue too?

for FM, i think you just need a FM extender

also if you want a aftermarket CD player, you need to make sure you don't have BOSE system dash, otherwise, you need to trim it or change to like this:

[Philr32]

No Bose, will buy the extender cheers

You like it now.... give it a year and when you have a double din you wont ever use it.... noobies

a couple of days in my case drove from launie to hobart keeping eye on economy. Then realised it likes fuel so just look at fuel gauge now, however my son does like it

[stripey]

But in all honesty what part is the translation installed on. Because mine is coming out as disc drive annoys me on startup

Haha probably. But at the moment I'd like to keep the stock gauges in the dash so no room for double din

[joshm35]

None of those gauges are helpfull except boost and tells you f all. Each to their own. Seen the fauges relocated to where the dvd rom in. Looked smick.

Jetwreck no longer does conversions, and from what he told me; whoever does them now charges an arm & a leg.

It's really nothing but novelty value; you won't even look at it in 6 months.

Fwiw, band expanders are a pita; the numbers on the screen don't reflect the actual station, and it drove me mad in about a week. Pull out the Jap head unit and replace it with something that does the job properly with stations you can actually tune.

[joshm35]

^what he said..... we have all been down this road....

Ahhh yes thats the exact answer I was after! So the issue is with the head deck not the antenna/aerial. Cool

[joshm35]

Yup. Throw it out and burn it
