M35 Stereo, Tv, Sat-Nav

[JAM35Z]

Hi All,

New member of SAU! Iv been watching this forum for years, now I finally have a M35!

Just got my fresh m35 import, completely stock...... including the Stereo, sat-nav and TV.

Question is: Non of this work in Aus! only Japan. Is there an easy solution to get these 3 working?

or is it as hard as I read everywhere?..... e.g. someone has to do a group buy for Digital TV converters, need to drive to Sydney to get someone to change language, and god know how to do the sat nav!

Also hoping that the glovebox dvd player can be strait swaped for a media player of some sort that does MP3's, AVI's, DivX, Ipod etc

Really hoping I can do one day trip to someone and they can do all this?

Thanks an advance for any advice!

James

Hi James.

People are really happy to help around here if you do a search first, as this has been covered a lot. But here goes...

Sat nav won't work. The end. You need an Australian map disk that doesn't exist apparently.

You can translate the screen to English. Visit www.xanavi.com.au to find someone near you (you don't say where you're from?).

You can run TV. There are a few tuners available. PM Commsman (Leon) and see if he has any left, otherwise the Xanavi translaters might have one.

The glovebox DVD player is required to run the sat-nav, screen, etc. Not sure if it can be removed and you still output to the screen?

Best bet is to replace your head unit with something that does MP3s, AVIs, DivX, iPod, etc.

Ok after much searching around for information iv found:

You can buy "Car TV Tuners" on ebay that are perfect (just brought 1 for $114 ) this also player media via a usb (avi,mp4, mp3,mkv etc)

The "DVD player" in the M35 stagea is NOT a DVD Player but a DVD-ROM and does absolutely nothing in Australia"

This is the toughest car iv ever had to sort out a stereo/media for..... still open for suggestions

Piss it all off and go aftermarket.

Untrue. The DVD-ROM is the brains of your pop up screen.

Remove the DVD-ROM and your popup screen will not display the trip/fuel/servicing etc info

You can get these translated to English but you still need to retain the DVD-ROM.

Of course if you don't want any of that stuff, just rip it all out. Don't stuff it though as I reckon you'd be able to resell it.
