Just gets better and better... Heres another one... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infiniti-G35-G37-NAV-Video-Converter-Add-DVD-TV-Camera-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588b862200QQitemZ380297945600QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo#ht_2030wt_834

Interesting find on ebay, adds two extra video inputs, or a nice but expensive RGB lead.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infiniti-G35-G37-NAV-Video-Converter-Add-DVD-TV-Camera-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588b862200QQitemZ380297945600QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo#ht_2030wt_834

I don;t i'm afraid, i'm leaving the dismantling of the dash to the experts, but I did ensure that this was included in the cost of the car. So once i'm ready to fit the Apple TV i'm going to see him and work on hooking my unit into the center console while hes working on the dash. So i''ll let you know if its the same connectors and try and grab as many photos as I can while he's pulling her apart. The US guys recommend putting a switch on the speed sense wire but as the GPS is useless at this stage with JDM av console don't see the point. Also the AV unit for the 370Z over here looks totally different and doesn't support TV, I have wondered if anyone knows how to get an image of the USDM software as thats pretty close the JAP software, but believe you need to flash the firmware thats on a chip in the AV unit and not on the hard drive. I would love to get a dump of both the USDM harddrive and JDM and compare the POSIX software installs on the pare of them. If anyone has pulled the HD from there V36 i'd love to take a copy of the image, I here its a bit fiddly to pull out, else was tempted to do when the guy was working on my Dash. And clone the HDD after unlocking i with HDTOOLS. A developer I work with is very handy with decompiling software whose keen to help take a look, be great to compare with the US image and see if could swap some of the menu files....

Some useful information on splitting RGB cable to the RGB+Sync and enabling the monitor when not in park. http://www.l8ter.com/?p=148

Thanks Chris i'll get on it... First Fix Done, to see how she looks on the screen.. No Major dramas, resolution is ok, HD would be better. Waiting for the 12v PSU replacement to come so I can wire this directly into the cars power. Currently using a 150w inverter. Hopefully crack the soldering iron out and get everything wired into a single connector to easily hook into the car. Here's some pictures of progress... Although I would like hints in pulling up the Center console and if there is any space under there, can cut down the size of the atv once the 240v power supply is stripped out. Other wise she's off to the boot. The other mod that I would like to do is access the controls on the dial I want to either splice the buttons or wire them to the atv. is there a way to wire a switch into these 5 buttons, or grab there output so can wire them to the ATV.

Does this work with the TV Tuner that is installed in the 370GT, 2007 Model?.. Again if it does assuming this would mean that the picture would display on the screen when it is in TV mode. Leaving the AUX still free. And you just pull the output cable from the TV unit and replace it with this lead? Also by Colors plus CSYNC you mean, Similar to SCART output, yes??? If so what sort of quality would this give you, what resolution is the screen, as my model is a digital receiver is there a different lead that can be done to get HD component input??... Thanks Chris..

IF i you can wire up the touchscreen to this, it would be the ultimate In Car system. I saw Chris Rogers had mentioned he had managed to hook up the touch screen to a SAT Nav unit. There is a plugin for AppleTV that lets you use the USB port and hook up a Mouse, so if there is anyway to get the XY co-ordinates from the Touch Screen and feed them through to the USB port you would have the ultimate in dash system. Chris if you have any info on what the integration you did on that unit is in theory (don't expect you to give away any trade secrets), but if there is a standard interface for the touchscreen and a way to hook in to it, getting it working with the ATV is a possibility.

Just picked up a 370GT Skyline and have been playing with the system, and as much as I like Japanese I have decided that my spare AppleTV 1 with a 120GB and wifi would be the perfect media and video player for my car. Here's My current plans. 1. Rip apart the apple TV and chuck out the power brick replacing it with a 12v to 5v DC DC converter 10 ams and hook in to the main board. (Easier than you think just solder up a couple of wires and your done, waiting for the DC DC converter purchased for $30 on ebay. 2. Run Composite video out of the back of the Apple TV by just plugging into the green component output and installing the COmposite Apple TV hack. 9Google Apple TV Hack for more info on this) 3. Hook up the AppleTV unit in the car either in the boot or inside the center console. 4. Use the I-phone Remote App to control the Apple TV, Add a dock so the iphone lies flat by the gear stick and this lets you control the AppleTV like the touch track pad you get on a laptop. What I could do with some help on is where can i get instructions on how to pull apart the center console to wire this in, I wanted to add a switch so I could still use the AUX port in there, and wondered if there is any room under there or best bet is in the boot. If its in the boot whats the best way to go about wiring this to AUX inputs. I know the TV tuners back there, and was wondering can you rip that ou and still its feed to the TV1/TV2 channel leaving the AUX port free. Any help on how to get stuff wired into the car would be much appreciated.
