Nm35 Stag Gps/tv Screen

[Lucifersloofa]

Hi Guys

I'm very strongly thinking about a nm35 stag (axis pref) in Radelaide.

from what I've read the screens are pretty much useless, has anyone tried installing a Car PC in its place? you could the exisiting screen for a new touch screen and run it to a pc under front seats or something like that (only general thoughts as i don't have a stag yet).

Seems very tempting to have a pc boot up quickly from a compact flash card and have a larger laptop harddrive for music and such. plus a GPS is easy install.

Any thoughts or recommendations.

Cheers

The screens are not useless. You can now get the language converted to have all the functional menu's in English. Only things that are not changed will not ever ork here as they are Japanese systems only. (ie, the FM system and until a map disc is available, the Navigation system)

You can get a local Digital Tv tuner from Chook on this forum for the TV to work and then pretty much the whole system is working.

Or you can rip the whole thing out and start again but you will be spending around $1500-2000 to do this.

Does the Screen control any of the heating/climate control stuff????

When I get a TV/Navigation System installed . .

Mine came without. . . .Sadly my Stag only came with twin sunroofs, Bose Stereo, Cargo net & blind . . .

This always confused me - with all stageas. For a car that was never intended to be sold outside japan, there's a lot of english scattered around the place.

i think its like that with pretty much ALL their cars.
