Nm35 Sat/nav

[Nick Bailey]

Any-one had any success with the indash sat/nav on the nm35. Wondering if the car had been sold as new in any english speaking countries. If it was sold new in say America or New Zealand then there should be a replacement rom drive with english firmware.

Kinda bugs me having things in the car that don't work.

best to read that thread.

very short version - live with it or have $3k handy for e to mod it . theres not a box that drops into that car thats in english. the nearest box will be out of a G35 infiniti and thats not even close to working as intended for japan.

If I give you $3k can you make it all work, or only bits of it.

navi/tv/dvd . its all refit.

But bare in mind (correct me if I'm wrong Chris) the on-screen navigation (i.e. fuel efficiency etc) will STILL be in japanese.

I don't believe the German mob who are translating it have finished the project yet, once they have we will be able to buy the upgrade DVD.

Chris - on a second note I have been trying to get in touch with Haki from Crankin' Car Audio in reference to the TV/Sat Nav fit out, he was going to provide me quotation etc. He never got back to me and I emailed him a fortnight ago just to follow it up and still havn't heard anything. He still in business?

Russian.

(Obviously. I mean, who else would you turn to, to translate Japanese to English on a JDM only car?)

OOps... for some reason I got mixed up and thought it was the Germans!

I think the Russians are doing it because they import heaps of Stagea's into the country, I think they had already translated the firmware from Japanese to Russian?

Do you think it's ever going to be finished though? it's severely behind schedule, would be cool to have it in English.

Confusing Russians with Germans?... For shaaaammmmeeee (as Abe Simpson would say).

Yes, I think it will get finished.... eventually (I have to believe it man!).

Yes it would be cool.

Hey Andy, have you got the disc with the partial translation or was that a screen shot sent to you by the developer?

I have the partial conversion in my car, yes.

I have the partial conversion in my car, yes.

....and would you be willing to share this PARTIAL conversion disc to appease us while we patiently await the FULL conversion?

It's been marked as special for Andy. So you'd have this Russian woman's voice fire up every time you started the car saying "Thanks for turning me on Andy."

Ok, no worries, will do.

Will be in the Auburn district later this afternoon so I may call in to his workshop tomorrow morning and give him some harrassment (just kidding).

I will pass on your regards Chris

Why doesn't mine talk? I've never heard it took in any language, not even when I drive with the driver's door open lol

Do you have to do anything special to activate it?

[zei20l]

yeah same with mine, but the ARXs that i test drove DID speak to me. maybe RS/RX dont speak? probably because they are already smart because they didnt buy an ARX

The day I bought mine, reversed out of the driveway with the handbrake on "Something, something, something, handbrakeo" (Lady in japanese, obviously) thought it was hilarious.
