The Xanavi conversion will only work Series 1 V35 and M35's (2001 - early 2004).

A conversion for the series 2 (2004 - 2007) is being worked on but is taking longer than anticipated and will hopefully ready by second quarter 2011.

Hi Andy,

This is one of the things on the "to do list for 2011". As well as the Navi conversion.

Whats causing the bugs in the series 2 conversion ?

Cheers

I am not a programmer but I am told it is a totally different system so many new solutions required.

Just to add to the previous post, any developments on when the Series 2 conversion may be ready?

Would love to give you a due date but really do not know a fixed date at this stage. As the developer has moved to the US and this has made the installation process a little more difficult so he is working on automating the license process. Once this is complete the developer will work on finalizing the series 2 conversion.

Cheers

Andy

WOW! I have finally finished reading ALL 50 PAGES, 15 of them today, and now my head feels like it wants to explode. Im getting my M35 Stagea soon, hence why I am reading up on this subject.

Hey Andy good work on the conversion, coming from a club background I know what its like to do things for the club to promote and make members rides just that little bit better if not a lot. Hopefully the move to the US for your russsian contact doesnt slow the conversion :ermm: too much.

Got a question re the tv tuners though, I did read there is the Asuka tuners but I also did see a link for the HiTV tuners. Are you guys supplying both or just one, even though from the quick look at the Hitv, the Asuka looks better with the usb and hdmi jacks; though from previous experience with stb's I have had the rs-232 port can come in handy for firmware upgrades if needed. If you are doing the HiTv, what's the price and what experiences have people had with these if any.

Going to take some Neurofen now!! :sick:

Hi Guys,

Just bought myself a 2001 Stagea M35 250T a couple of weeks ago.

After reading though all the pages here I thought I have a chance on being able to use the Navi LCD in english or at least get to the "economy" screen.

But unfortunately the unit I have is the Birdview XFD7210 model. :/

Does anyone here know what model/part number the 2001-2003 xanavi unit? Or maybe have a spare one I can buy to replace this "newer"crap model I have here.

I'm located in Auckland New Zealand.

Cheers,

Roel

i have a complete working factory navi with screen, DVD ROM (for maps not video), tv tuner and all wiring.

also have the rear windows with the antennas in it.

the good thing is, its from an RX, so its the right colour for your car!

    • Yeah was gonna say as it wouldn't line up correctly, I imagine if they put the wheel that way it would mess with the wheel alignment.
    • My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.
    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
