Skyline V35 Tv Screen

[groggit]

What's the deal with the V35's screen: Does it come standard with every model or only certain models? What features do the screen/CD player combo have i.e. can it play DVDs, xVid, divx, does it have any inputs for iPods or XBOX, does it have TV? Also, if it has TV, is there any conversion needed to make it work in Australia?

thanks in advance

Some do have the screen and some don't. It was an option from the factory to support the NAV and TV functions mainly although it does have some other cool things like compass and fuel economy. Personally, I like the look of the screen setup better. Without it, it looks bare, but its up to you to make the decision for yourself, keeping in mind that the TV and Navigation system will not work in Australia and there isn't any reliable information yet about converting them without going aftermarket and splicing into the factory wiring and changing fascias and such.

There is a DVD-ROM unit that comes with the screen but it only serves to read the Navigation DVD. No normal DVD's or CD's can be read in there. Therefore the car out of the factory does not have any functionailty to read MP3's, Divx, DVD's, etc and has no inputs to easily plug in Aux devices like XBOX. You'll need an aftermarket unit for that. It does come with a pretty good in-dash 6 cd stacker though. There are connectors you can buy from the US to allow RCA inputs for your ipod, but you can investigate those options further when you buy the car.

Only the Premium GT models come with the screen and suede leather interior. definitely nicer to have, however it is usless because you cannot play dvd's or use the existing navigation unit. It can be replaced for a cost of around $2000 to have it to Australian standards, however this replacement unit comes with DVD player including divix, mpeg, mp4 fricken spiff-ex if you want! haha, j/k. but anyway... everything is possible, just need to put your mind to it. something I can't be bothered doing!

As far as the car is considerned, one of the best cars i've ever driven, for a car that uses only 7.4l per 100km , it's a rocket! beats GTS turbo's , HSV's etc. for a non turbo, performs exceptionally well. Rated at 230kw apparently.

no to mention you can do a refit of the whole lot if you want.

Ummm... 7.4L per 100KM? Where'd you get that from? The screen on mine says around 7KM per L which works out to be about 15L/100KM. My true L/100KM goes anywhere between 13.7 and 16. I've got a sedan though so not sure on the coupes.

Hi all,

Sorry to sort of Hijack this thread but do you guys have any idea what the size of the screen is? 7", 8" etc? And if so how hard do you think it would be to replace with an aftermarket screen?

Any help would be great.

7-8" wide screen. NO WAY IN HELL you are going to replace it. reuse it - maybe. what have you got in mind?
