hey guys recently purchased a r33 gtst and it came with an Alpine AVN5504D double din deck in it. its a touch screen unit with cd,dvd,md,tv,gps,radio functions. its in perfect condition but it wont work . i have a message in japanese saying that its asking for the sat/nav dvd which was translated by my japanese neighbour. none of the other functions will work untill i get a hold of this cd i presume? i asked alpine for an oz version of this deck and its like $3500+ . has anybody had similar issues with their imported decks or know anybody who would be able to fix these problems? any help would be greatly apprechiated.

yep, bin it. the system is different thant he local AVN6000. see a couple of these a month. I do have a navi disc for one but its not going to help you in your quest for a cheap dvd/nav system. the DVD is locked to region 1 I believe.

Chris is correct.theres not alot you can do with it im afraid.

im not too worried bout the dvd n stuff i just want to be able to play music on normal cd's?

[Chris Rogers]

then it will do that. buy a $35 band expander for the radio and use it. when it dies rip it out and start again.

Hi guys,

I'm a bit new to all this so I need some advice, after bringing my car with me from the Uk fitted with an Alpine INA-N333R I found that the navi unit needed a new map, so far I haven't been able to find one. Does anyone now of a way forward allowing me to keep this head unit? Only at present I'm using a Navman unit...

Thanks for any advice...

[Chris Rogers]

the radio will work. the navi will not. alpine do not do navi here.

Would the dvd movie part work if you used dvd's with no region coding?

[Chris Rogers]

yep. video format may come into play also.
