Satellite Navigation System

[Mid_Nite_R33]

Does anyone know if the tv navigation system that sometimes comes installed in imported skylines is any use here in australia? Am I just able to buy a cd/dvd with a map of australia and use it ? If its incompatible can I at least use the lcd and hook it up to a dvd player?

Any help would be appreciated.

Unrikery! It is probably NTSC also...

I doubt it'd have any inputs on it. More of a sealed unit if it's a factory option.

well for my panasonic one theres a input box sitting under the passenger seat, its got 4 sets of AV inputs so you can hook up portable dvd player etc..

im pretty sure jap tv specs are pal as well, although i could be wrong

but than again, the whole damn unit is in jap besides the remote and buttons on the unit. so setting it to use av is not going to be an easy task,

i also got the original manual for the sat nav for mine whole 100 pages worth all in jap.

My mate imported an EVO and it came with a SONY screen and a SONY DVD+SAT deck as well. He gave it to me so i was just wondering if the SAT does not work, i still should be able to use the DVD and watch TV if it possible?

to all those that want this ting to work- It won't. TV is in NTSC as well so the format is wrong.

from what i have read so far on the soarer forums.. you can get a pal to ntsc converter for around $250 - $350

this will allow our pal tv signals to be picked up and used for tv, you might find you can hear some stations.. but not see them

you can also get a portable in car dvd from stratties i think... sansui brand.. will output ntsc as well as pal.. so if the screen picks it up.. then cool

i am researching for an R34 factory sat nav... made by xanavi...so i dont have this nice av input box thingo the panasonic has..

i mean there may be one hidden in the car somwhere.. i gotta look still

just got the thing licenced.. so now the messing around begins
