Hey guys, just wondering how to keep the TV/GPS screen on S1 stag active while driving. When I first got the car with standard stereo etc it i could see snow when driving, now that I have got a headunit installed and running visual through AV2 it cuts out as soon as I put it in gear. Even when I try to view what I was seeing before the install.

Is there a way around this? I expect there is as I know some people out there are running GPS through this screen. Maybe when they were installing the headunit they did something, or is it just s setting or something?

I've tried doing a search but after several hours of reading I still havn't found what I'm after.

Thanks for your help guys :D

depends on the setup, but from my expirience, there is a wire connected to either the handbrake or gearbox, when the hand brake is on or the gearbox is in gear the circuit is completed and the tv shuts down, you will have to disconnect this wire.

all depense what you have. but if you pull out the screen it should have a 'to handbrake' or sumthing wire... unless its stock then mayb they might be a little more safe haha. but its just a matter of grounding that wire.

hey guys not to be a damper but be carefull what you post as it is Illegal and im sure a mod will delete your comments ban or warn ya's in some form. keep it private.

You need a special harness that plugs into the back of your screen, looks like this:

It is not as simple as a handbrake switch, its a very complicated little harness.

Most/all japanese install them as soon as they leave the dealer, so look for a small button or black box, as in pic. Might have been 'touched' when your stereo was installed.

If you have no luck, i have a spare one available, pm me.

Yeah cheers chook, just the sort of info I was after. I have some wiring and stuff that was removed, will have a look to see if there is something there that resembles the unit you posted. I'll also ask the installer if he touched/saw something as well.

No idea, I can't remember the branding on mine.

I can however remember atleast part of what was written on it "......so you don't miss your favorite show when you're behind the wheel" Aren't the Japanese so safety consous

other than in Japan, or possibly a Japan Yahoo site such as http://www.importmonster.com.au , 2nd hand ones are cheap there, or try Chris Rogers, part # datasystem NTV142,

These are only for the factory xanavi screens, not for aftermarket.

I've ordered the "Data Systems / TV-KIT NTV142 / SUTEJIA W # C34/H9.8 ~ H13.10" through nengun on the japan yahoo auctions - next question... how hard is it to install with instructions in japanese??

for my dvd player handbreak wire is just earthed.

for an aftermarket headunit, that's all it'll be. run it to a switch so that you can prove to cops that it's legal though :P for the standard xanavi unit though, you'll need the harness like Chook said.

plug and go. I sell a few of them myself.

getting arounf that unit is best done with a bypass. there's too many wires to fiddle with otherwise.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
