Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered before, I've spent days googling and reading this and the G35 forum and couldn't find the info but maybe my google-fu is weak
I have a December 2005 350GT coupe, auto with satnav option
Ok so what I'm planning on doing is removing the nav screen and mounting a Garmin unit to the up and down bracket.
I'm thinking while I'm in there I may as well go an extra step and remove the DVD and card reader unit from the upper glovebox.
I see on the wiring diagram there are CAN cables that go into the DVD unit and into a control unit. The control unit I believe is what feeds info to the instrument cluster (speedo etc). I know that this is so the Nav unit can run the navigation and also display the service intervals etc, but what I'm wondering is, if I remove the DVD unit is that going to mess with the control unit and therefore stop the speedo etc working?
My goal is that I'm going to wire in a 12v socket in the upper glovebox and run the Garmin power cable down behind the dash so the power cable is tidy and hidden and all looks factory.
Also hoping I can use the 5v line from the up and down motor that triggers the limit switch in the exisiting Nav screen to activate the 12v socket I'm going to install so the new GPS only gets power when the bracket is up.
Cheers
