I'm planning what to do with the In car entertainment in the M35. I have the standard Japanese DVD ROM in the upper glovebox but not the ETC box. I intend at this stage to use the factory screen but replace the CD player with a DVD, possibly, more dreaming/planning happening...

Question is, since I want to use the space currently occupied by the useless DVD ROM unit, can I dump it? I think I stumbled across something on the forum that said you lose the trip computer, mileage stuff or something if you ditch it, is that right? If I don'tneed that stuff and don't want GPS, can I dump it without issue or do I have to hide it away behind the dash or something?

Thanks

Yes, you will loose all the functionality of the trip computer and other functions.

There are no other inputs for the monitor if you take it out so the screen will be useless also.

It sounds like you have the Tv tuner also. You are better off buying the connector from Chris Rogers ($70) that gives you a RCA input. Then you can input whatever you want to the screen and still have the other functions.

I can show you some of how this works on the week end when I am in Cnaberra.

Hi, tuners coming soon. PM sent, thanks for the offer.

I did this setup from Chooks TV tuner and a cable from Chris Rogers. Basically each Headrest has it's own DVD unit in it. Both of them also have outputs so they play DVD's through the front, complete car or individually......both headrests with all the wiring cost me $310 delivered....then I had to by some RCA's, Chris Rogers cable which was about $70-$90(cannot remember)....and the TV unit from Chook....the whole lot was about $750. There is also a slot left to run another satnav or Ipod....+ the is the reverse camera setup.Pic below.

I was going to mention the Six Pack Holiday, but I thought one of the essential criteria was that you drank them ALL b4 u got home?!

That may have been stubby number 6 I spose.

Now your making me thirsty :D

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
