Hey Andy, do you still offer installation at Ryde?

You did the install in my M35 last year.

I'd like to get one installed in my Evo which has a factory Sat Nav screen with TV.

Please let me know. Cheers!

Yes, Still doing the installs but not sure what I would find in an EVO..

Hi,

Any ideas if these Tuner boxes work in NZ ?, I know we have a strange audio codec here.

Cheers

Hi Michael, I believe they do. I have some config files (load by USB port) that allow for operation in most places with most systems. The samples I was sent last year didn't work here (was able to select all the European countries but they had wrong channel spacing) but fixed it with a new file in about 4 minutes. I'd be happy to give you money back if it doesn't work in NZ.

Cheers, Leon.

Hi Jason, welcome to the forums. PM replied.

Hey Commsman, the Asuka tuner, accessories, Relay (for reverse camera) and wiring diagram arrived safely on Monday. (One working day after payment was sent)

Thanks for shipping it so fast mate. Looks real nice, cant wait to do the install.

I'll let you know how i go.

Sorry if the question has been asked, have only read 4/6 pages.

Does anyone know if a similar setup would work for a V36?

If your screen has an aux input then it should work. Do you have any pics of the factory tuner?

Hi

I read elsewhere that these tuners may have a usb & sd card slot in them; or is that a different tuner?

If it is these, as I will be looking at getting one for my Stagea,

1: would you be able to run a nav program thru the sd slot, (as I have unlocked my navman and it runs garmin/tom tom etc off the micro sd card)?

& 2: Is the factory pop up nav screen touch screen enabled therefore utilising the nav program that I may run thru the sd slot?

Any suggestions if it isnt a touch screen are welcome.

G'day.

USB = yes, SD = no. These were supposed to come with SD slot but for some reason that didn't happen. USB is for loading new firmware (not likely you will need this), for playing media files & for recording live TV for playing back later. I would say most people would rarely use these functions.

To answer your other questions; 1 - no. 2 - no.

Suggestions.... CarPC with touch screen overlay (decent sized project) or portable GPS with suction cap for windscreen (much simpler project), lol.

The TV tuner has an AV input which other people have used to display GPS on the pop up screen. You just set up your phone to navigate where you want to go & then plug it in. Have a chat with Brad since you are in SA.

Thanks Commsman,

Bummer bout the sd slot, Oh well I'll just have to keep on using my unlocked navman; would of been nice to use the factory screen, much better than the 4.7" of the navman.

BTW I couldnt see the input on the pics of the asuka tuner and I couldnt understand the concept of rca > headphone plug????!!!

Your tuner should have come with a lead that plugs in as per this pic. The part that goes into the tuner looks like a stereo headphone plug.

If you can get an output from your phone to mate up with it, you will have GPS on your nav screen as soon as you apply 12V to the yellow wire. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers, Leon.

Ah-ha your pic looks different to the pic on the first page of this topic, its missing from the preview.

I cant use my phone for a gps, I'm poor and only have a K1, hence why Im using a Navman.

Its starting to make sense now. :thumbsup:

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
