Questions: Shift Lock And Console Cable

[Spong]

Spong, belay that! It looks like it's a standard DVD-ROM data disk. ImgBurn should do the trick with a dual layer DVD.

Yes, ImgBurn is what I used. I used a DVD+R DL and all was fine in my case. Some drives (especially older ones) may have difficulty with recordable media so no guarantees it will work in every actual V35/M35.

Win4ever, I'm in Australia. Happy to help - I assume we're not breaking copyright by copying the DVD so... I'll give it a crack and let you know the cost of media + postage. If it's trivial I wont worry about it.

Spong, you mentioned that you've made a copy of yours which I resume is a similar format & media. Any tricks? What software did you use to rip and re-burn?

Hey Stuart, just picked my car up today. As I know yours is probably the closest identical "twin" to mine (as they are just manufactured 1 month apart from each other), I thought I'll check something with you.

Does your car have this japanese girl that talks to you everytime you start the car? Mine will have her saying something after a while everytime I start the car (i think it's usually after I engage a gear). Just keen to know if this is normal.

Also, i've PM you with regards to the sat nav DVD. Cheers!

She usually only talks to you IF there is something wrong. Is there any message on the screen?

Nope.... I don't think there's anything on the screen!

The only thing I picked up so far is that I don't have the sat nav DVD in the drive. Could that be a reason?

That's a relief! I don't hear any messages, but I know she's there (I push the "voice" button and she speaks). So, I think that's a good thing

Well, I think for me, mystery is solved as it's definitely something 2 do with the ETC card reader as if I press a button on the reader, the girl will repeat exactly what she said everytime I start the car. Shall try to get someone to remove that reader.
