Bose radio/sat nav/

Hi all,

I'm new on here so go easy on me! I joined up to this forum as it looks like you guys know every thing about our cars (and the uk forum is a bit dead).

I have just got a skyline 350gt after years of owning Jags and so far loving it. It's a 2004 model which has been in the u.k for 2 years.

There's a quick picture of it on the way home-

My question is what can I do with the radio etc, it's got the Bose radio/6 cd disc head unit with pop up sat nav/tv, dvd drive in top glove box, rear 6x9 Bose speakers and I think a amp in the boot.

The radio works ok but the cd will not read any uk cd discs. I do like the std look of the set up so if I keep it what can I do to get ipod connected and usb?

I have heard I can't remove the dvd drive because the engine will not run without it. is this true?

The sat nav/tv is no use here so whats my options?

 

Thanks.

You'll have to do some reading in the older post in the forum.

But you can "move" the DVD computer back behind the glove box and replace with a better system. DVD player with an Android computer to mirror your phone.

Update - I have a double din fascia which I won on a site in Japan, it's on it's way to the u.k now. The only problem is it's black and mine is silver!

Also trying to sort info on connecting steering wheel controls to new HU which is not easy!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
