Anyone With Xanavi Done Manual Conversion?

[chef_stagea]

hi all,

not gona lie... i miss the 260... so the rs4 is likely to be converted in the not to distant future.

just a thaught... i also want to get onto Chook Re tv receivers,

how ever i know you cannot watch these whilst the cars in drive... how ever with the manual box in. what gear would xanavi think im in??

im pretty sure an answer on how an auto stag can 'watch-drive' hasn't been found yet... would it cut me off all together? or do you think it would let me?.... im bout to do nisstune? maybe theres something in there we might be able to play with?? who knows??

if i unplugged all the plugs on the auto box, and had a crack at using the stock tv... would i get an answer??

cheers

I believe car will think its in park/neutral as start inhibitor has a loop in it enabling it to start. Could be wrong

Aren't the tv tuners/displays hooked up to the handbrake switch, anyway? So I'm guessing it wouldn't matter what gear you were in, or if the car was auto or manual - as long as the handbrake is on, it will display. So if you "short out" that wire (or put a switch on it) to make the display think the handbrake is on, then it will work fine.

na doesnt work like that unfortunately.

the car only lets the tv come up in park or neutral...

it does read the gears, easiest way is plug in those japanese overide boxes, http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/kong/y0000002983.html, about $130 if you have contact in japan. You are unlucky you dont have one fitted already from japan, have you checked behind your screen ? Otherwise you could spend hours trying to work out the wiring, as from memory probably around 40 wires into the xanavi unit. Think Andy does a solution for the M35's, not sure if this would be the same in the C34s.

ill check it out chook... but it i went manual... surly it wouldnt cut in and out during a shift lol... no manuals came with xanavi correct?

if i disconnect the plugs to the auto box will i get an answer?

If your coming to the stagea cruise on sunday i might be able to have a look. If its the same as the M35 then there will be a speed sensor wire that blocks the screen when you hit 5kmph and the hand brake that blocks the screen. I have an override box for an M35 if its the same as C34 you can buy that. Ill try and check some drawings later.

doesn't that suck! I have one of chooks tuners and an aftermarket head unit, and it is always on. which is pretty disctracting when there is motorsport on, but great for news etc in the morning traffic
