R34 Pop Up Dash Screen

[BJV]

Like the title says, does anyone on here own/owned an R34 with the pop up screen on the dash where the 3 center gauges or fixed mfd goes in the GTT and GTR? This one;

How does it turn on? Is there like an on/off switch? Is it wired into the ignition or Do you need the factory head unit to activate it? (make it pop up and turn on)

Does anyone know how the get the signal to the screen? RCA plugs ect.

Does the screen work similar to the fixed GTR screen as far as wiring work? I've found heaps of infor on here about the GTR screens but very little about the units I'm talking about.

I'm looking at doing a conversion in my car and hooking up a car pc to it. If anyone here had done this I'd love to hear from them or anyone in the Newcastle area that I could actually see working first hand would be fantastic.

Cheers in advance guys.

I have a row of controls for it (under the air vents) that you don't seem to have

Not that they work lol

Ok so if the buttons don't work, how do you control it?

[Shell]

I don't.... it used to pop up or down whenever it felt like it lol

Then my battery died and when you disconnect the battery it kills your head unit/s so now it just stays down.

Lol fair enough then. Can you get the screen fixed?

I don't know I'd like to use it for something, but I haven't looked into it, except to read what info's on here which seemed to be different for each case so no real standard answers on what's possible and what's not.

You at least have a Nissan logo... I just had the blue screen of death haha... you might have more luck than me

I just want to be able to play music again... the bottom HU died when the battery was disconnected as well

Intersting, is it motorised or spring loaded?

Motorised. Im interested if anyone has any idea of the wiring pins on the back of the tv unit (the big plug and the small 5 pin plug). All i want to know is can you make it open & close without the control unit - just suppling power to those pins.

You can find some of the wiring diagram on here if you search for it long enough using the screen model as the keyword but what you wont find is that you need the unit just to get the screen to work at all.

PM Chris Rogers.. i'm sure he can do something with some of them (from memory) but if he cant then no one can lol

Yeah that's what I ended up having to do. He basically said what I posted before; You can make them raise and lower but not much else.

I'd love to buy the plastic surround if anyone has one floating around.

You looking at putting your own screen in there?

[russstuff]

you sure its not working because of something simple?? any newer car these days requires a radio code to be entered whenever the power supply is disconnected...

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

it works off the original stereo.. unless you have it then it wont pop up

[Chris Rogers]

works off the top navi unit. if that has video output of ANY sort then I can do something with it. thing being everyone is too much of a tightarse to let me try

I have a E50 El grand (same system) that has TV/navi on it. there is a big thread on this thing inthe car audio area. I posted up a lot of images on it and gave instructions on how to manually open the thing.

if all you have is the screen then I would suggest ripping it out. you need a data stream to fire it up and set the correct input on it. (it has 3 inputs.) there is no other wqay to make it run.

Mine doesn't pop up, motor is fried. Anybody know how to get these up manually?
