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.

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

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      I figured out what’s wrong. It’s something to do with the high beam wire short circuiting. When I measure the continuity with a multimeter on the headlight socket connector it gives me a continuous beeping noise when I put it on the ground socket and also on the high beam socket.  On the passenger side of the car (working side), it’s only beeping when the probe is on the ground socket. Which makes sense.  So that means it has something to do with the high beam power supply for the drivers side. How do I trace that? Is it the turn signal lever malfunctioning? The one that also controls the high beam and low beams.

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By EndZee · Posted

      But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me
