Guy's,

I have a V35 70th Anniversary Coupe, it is missing the top dash screen and mechanism, and it appears there was a dvd type player in a compartment above the glove box behind a padded dash pad. The current pad is double sided taped on, there seems to be a hinge type bracket missing, is this true or not.

I do want the top screen to operate, the car does have a Bose system with also 6 stacker mounted in the boot area as well. So can anyone help ???????

The "DVD player" you refer to was not in fact a DVD player - it was a DVD Rom to load maps onto the factory Nav. It could never be used to read/play conventional DVDs. Nearly every V35 has one, and they are completely useless to us.

If your car did in fact once have the factory TV (which I assume it did if it had the Navi DVD Rom), then you should still have the wiring for it in there, and you just need to find a 2nd hand screen. I haven't seen one for sale in Aus, but have seen them pop up on USA Ebay - but I couldn't guarantee the wiring is exactly the same.

I have a feeling that the Navi computer runs most of the function sin the screen, so you might have to source one of them as well.

For my money you would be better off getting an aftermarket pop-up touchscreen monitor and putting it in your TV hole, and doing a CarPC in the boot. Then you have a REAL entertainment system!

There is no rev or speed meters on the oem screen ... what you are missing is fuel consumption/economy, trip meter, compass and service reminder.

But as I said above, I am not sure if you need the DVD Navi rom, screen and/or wiring to get it all working.

Chris, will a US top screen unit work in a Jap spec car (I know it wont have Sat Nav), but will the fuel consumption, etc work or are there other patrs needed as well. Or do i need to find a Jap spec unit, and if I do, do you know where I can get one from.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
