R34 Sat Nav/tv Control Panel

[gtst4d]

on a trivial note. if someone has one of these cars in brisbane I would like to have a fiddle with it. I'm considering doing the R34 ( I do the V35 now.) as well for nav,TV,DVD etc.

When you have worked something out with these i would be keen to find out mote info on this

[Chris Rogers]

if I can get a few mules it wont be a problem.

[choyda]

I'll pull my finger out and give you a call for you to look at my car on Saturday if you are free

[Chris Rogers]

[gtst4d]

Move to Nowra and it wont be a problem

Its been a while since i tried doing something about the tv but now its a real pain in the ass!, everytime i turn my car on it opens up and a blue screen shows and i cannot put the screen down with ANY button, only way it goes down is when I turn the electrics off.

Is there anyone that has takin the unit apart that can shed more light on how to work this thing. There must be a simple way. Could the tv work with a different headunit? solso31 is your tv still working with dvd, ps2 etc?

nope. you need a NEW TV tuner that outputs NTSC. from there you need to know what you are doing.

damo,

ring me.. there is a MUCH easier way to do this.

hmmm please let me know what the easier way is???

[Chris Rogers]

that was based on a 34 gtr - different set of rules.

if you are NOT electronically minded - find someone who is.

[DR-JEKL]

So can anyone here get the tv option on the screen to work yet in a R34 GTR?

[Chris Rogers]

yes. me. question to you is what do you wish to spend on it as its not cheap.

$500? or is it in the $1-2K vicinity?

Can you also get the satnav to work in Oz?

[Chris Rogers]

depends on how you want the system setup. in the case of nav + tv over $2k. yes I can do the nav in that car- I'm still assuming you are talking about a R34 GTR and NOT an aftermarket system fitted in that car. those are bin material.

Yes R34 GTR.

Is it worth the 2k+? The eclipse AVN 6000 double din H/U can be purchased for $2K with satnav facilities.

What navigation software does your 'work in Oz' system run?

garmin maps.

AVN is $2.5k before you add a reverse camera to it.

The AVN was $2K @ lifestyle car audio last week, and is advertised on their website for $2.1K.

Lifestyle

Thanks for your response, do you have any pics of your system installed?

I'll have a dig. uses the OE screen and keeps whatever radio is in the dash.

nice to see lifestyle doing silly prices on them.

[rysith]

So basically for an R34 GTR to use the factory screen - it will still cost over $2k when you can purchase an off the shelf system for about the same price?

Is there any point to using the factory screen? Seems it would be more economical to just get a DVD unit/LCD screen and portable GPS setup than spend more to utilise a factory screen for the sake of neatness/integration.

[Chris Rogers]

nah - for the AVN unit above that price is right. if all you wanted was nav then that is 1300ish depending on how its done.
