Cool :D 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!

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
