Hi All,

I'm after a OBD scan tool for my V35. Most of the previous recommendations are out of date but there is a used Maxidiag JP701 for sale in the US. If anyone has any recent experiences successes  I'd love to hear them. All I can see is it needs to talk J1979.

Even if you want for something better long term, maybe try a JayCar ODBII scanner (about $70), an android phone and the free trial app on the playtore. Its time limited, but more than enough to read & clear codes.

I also have a Blatz cable I never used; I now have a V36. From memory, you use a laptop.

They list compatible cables and can do more than a basic OBD2 reader, although not as much as the full Consult II can do.

 

THAT is the exact android app I was Talking about!

The one thing thy dont make clear, is if there is a difference in the PID's that are logged/monitored between windows and android. Although the windows program does look more comprehensive in features. I find the Android app good enough for codes and quick monitoring. But the big thing for me are the error codes.

I wish I'd seen this post sooner. I had a look at some of the android aps and didn't feel convinced which (if any) would work with the V35 - the above would have given me some confidence about buying something. In the end I bought a dedicated scan tool - I bought a Launch CRP123X on ebay. It seems to have done the trick.

Do you know if this software can code new FOBs etc?

There is a section under 'work support' for immo coding, but you need the ECU PIN to use it, I have never tried.  Not sure about the central locking remote side, I haven't seen anything in the menus related to that.

NDS-III for the V36 and other newer cars seems to have a section for the fob -

Trying to get Nissan to code a FOB for a Q60S and it's like pulling teeth. Might look into this one. Thanks mate

Im in the same boat.

I'm trying to get my remote start FOB programed but they say they are "not aloud" to do it

When I had new keys coded, its was a multiple step process, using a portable ODBII scan tool, which I *think* was specifically setup to code new keys (all manufacturers, not just Nissan). The guy that did my keys (2008 370GT) gave me two newly programmed & cut keys, on the spot, for what I thought was a pretty reasonable price.

But I dont have remote start. I dont think the original of my V35 or V36 had this feature; that I knew of

I thought of doing this....but cause of how rare these cars are (in me and Pauls case - Q60), I doubt they would know how to get the remote start working. I read some posts in the US forums that it should work if they just code the FOB that has the remote start buttons. That might be worth a try I guess.

For the cost of a phone call, ring the guy and ask; if he is near you. He will also give you a firm quote on the phone call. I am guessing he would simply program what is standard in the key, but you got nothing to loose. And if remote start is in the infinity (ie US) maybe he has a program & FOB for that. IDK

  • 2 weeks later...

I have 2 OME remote start keys for my Q60. I've asked 2 key cutting programing guys, one said no they can't the other said "maybe, I could give it a try". I didn't want to waste time and money on a maybe just to have 4 normal keys (but the more i think about maybe is worth a go). I also asked INFINITI in Perth (BMW Auto Classic) they said they where not aloud.

Our cars have the remote start installed and ready to go. We just need the key fobs and the programing

Also you can't just do a key copy to a key that has remote start buttons. you wont get the remote start to work

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
