do you have it in the right way and powered up?

I got lazy and got Alberts to do it ... i would like to think that they know how to wire up something as simple as an FM expander. I'm taking a guess they mainly use second hand ones from other cars that have had their systems upgraded. I'm just worried that the Skyline might need a specific one for some strange reason ...

Hi guys..new here..well kind of anyway. Used to post back when i have my V35 (totalled :P ). Anyway..now i'm back with the V36 (never learned my lesson :D )..and since i can't remember my old user ID..had to register a new one..

Anyway, just bought myself a 2008 V36 coupe with Nav, music box, Side & Rear camera, leather seats. Not sure if i have the premium Bose or not (still no clue what model/package that is actually). I manage to work out quite a few of those Japanese menus/buttons (due to previous experience with my V35 :( ) but i could not, for the life of me, get the bluetooth to work!!! :ermm: . I manage to get to the menu where there is "Bluetooth" in the menu but the "Bluetooth On" button is greyed out. There is only 3 selectable buttons there which is the Bluetoth password change (the one where you can enter numbers), Bluetooth info and a button which leads to a lists of Japanese menus.

Is my bluetooth on already? if not, how do i on it? Before anyone ask, i know i have bluetooth as there is the phone & voice commannd button on my steering wheel. HELP ME!!... :ermm:

PS: Oh yeah..i have a Sony Erricson Satio phone.

I was playing around and found that through bluetooth the music on my iphone played through the car.

Interesting that on z-club, the 370z owners dont have this option of playing music through bluetooth?

I'd love to know how you got the iPhone to play music Bluetooth. Mines paired up and I can make calls, but the music just played through the iPhone speakers. As far as I know, the iPhones don't support the A2DP standard, maybe the iPhone 4 does. But then, the dealer at Mazda showed me that he could play music on his 3GS through the CX7.

Thank you to everyone who posted on this thread. With a bit of tinkering, I got my iPhone paired to the car last night. I also managed to get the music paired on Bluetooth as well, so that now I can play music from my iPhone and control it all from the steering wheel. Very cool.

This thread has gone a bit quiet, so I assume most people already know how to do this. If not, mention it on this thread and I will put up some detailed instructions.

Hey, I have my iPhone paired but cannot get the music to play via Bluetooth.

If you can do step by step that would be appreciated, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Due to the nature of the thing I think a little video clip would be best if you can do one (plus it'll save you the pain of writing it up). I lost my camera on a recent bucks night... (along with the evidence).

Bose Sound Systems are an option in Japan, if you have a Bose sound equiment your front speakers should feature the Bose Logo also located in the back seat centre where arm rest sit would be replaced with two speakers, I am assuming subs or larger speakers.

Almost finished writing the new step-by-step process.

Will be adding it to the manual i have written in the next day or two!

(along with steps on how to update your music box albums from the net using gracenote / compact flash, more translated menus and some other stuff!)

Hi guys,

I have also got my iphone 3GS paired fine and can take/make calls no dramas but can't quite figure out how to get music streaming from the phone.

How did you guys do it?

Cheers

Pairing is the hard part

once you have done that

keep pressing 'DISC' until Blutooth comes up. you should be able to play from there

How did we do it? From the above it looks like NOONE has done it.

This does not work for me with my iPhone 3GS. I can easily select BT at the source. Have you actually had it working?

i use the blutooth from my iphone 4 to play music every day

unless you have a different system

post a pic of your unit

OK no matter how many times I hit either the 'DISC' button on the centre console or the 'Source' button on the steering wheel nothing comes up.

I'm playing music on the Iphone 3GS, phone is paired and able to make and receive calls. The stereo just doesn't want to recognise bluetooth streaming as a source.

I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere to enable bluetooth streaming as a source?

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
