Warning Re: Standard Climate Control Conversion

[DaveB]

Cool I wondered about a rear-facing camera instead of / as well as a rear view mirror; perhaps using one of those rear-view mirror mount lcd displays. Sounds like you're all set.

So, just coming back to this thread after a few years, to finally lay it to rest... managed to install a standard climate controller in a friend's stagea last night, and it turns out it IS possible... but you need:

a) a conversion cable (about $85 in Japan + postage; at time of writing this works out to about $150)

b) obviously a standard climate control unit, mounting rails and facia

c) to find the control box (NOT part of the unit itself) and plug your harness into that (3 plugs - you DON'T plug into the xanavi harness!) - see the information here: http://www.skylinesa...ost__p__6482542

With all of that, and about an hour's work, it was finally possible to replace the xanavi unit.

Next to work out why the xanavi screen keeps cutting out in my car...

Hi DaveB, I understand that u have managed to convert the xanavi climate control to normal climate control.

Actually I just bought a cefiro halfcut with this set up but the xanavi climate control had spoilt so I'm trying to convert it to original cefiro climate control (Malaysian version).

Where can I buy the conversion cable? And I need to ask them whether the conversion cable suitable for Malaysian version of original climate control?

Secondly, whether this xanavi climate control is easy to find in used part yard in Australia?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mingfei,

Here is a conversion harness like the one I used: http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w80049623&thumb=http://auctions.c.yimg.jp/img299.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/5/5/2/7/hotelbread_ok-thumb-13514127581900.jpg&title=C34%20AV

I know it works for Japanese Stage as, I don't know about Malaysian Cefiros!

daveb: with all the harness' it would be possible to do a cut and shut if you knew the pin outs would you be able to make your own conversion harness?
