I now have a 370GT, but when I got my 350GT the first thing I did was get it translated. I dont know if there is anyone still doing the translations for the 350GT. At the time, it was simply a short 10 minute job where the guy put a CD in the nav slot, and it was done a few minutes later. On my 370GT I had to get some unique info from my computer and they had to burm a disk specific for my car.

The short story is, if you can find someone with "the disk" I think it should work. I dont remember the guy doing anything specific for my individual car; but you already appear to know that. Maybe someone has shared the disk as a torrent:unsure2:

Nope, the Russians (Xanavi) who did the translation no longer do it, as far as I am aware.

It was not as simple as putting a disk in - the guy in each state who was their agent had to be online with them and put in codes from the GPS etc to unlock the maps and make the translation work.

And no, no-one has gotten the maps to work. Putting an overlay over the screen and running Apple car play is the only (and expensive) option.

Not sure if any of interest but I am in the process of re-fitting the original display for a 6.5" TFT with better resolution, remove all of the old nonsense and use a raspberry pi with "crankshaft OS". Then you can mirror your android phone over bluetooth or USB and use your phone satnav, play music etc. Fit's over the old display bezel but needs a custom PCB which I will work on later, need to finish my engine swap first 😃

I personally am not concerned with the actual display resolution. What does bother me, is the display of the camera from the  passenger side camera. It looks to be a seriously low res camera.

I am guessing you have already considered the Tesla screen conversion?

As for displaying your phone screen in the center screen, my car has AUX video and sound, but of course that will not support touch screen events. There is also an iPod interface. I wonder if that also supports video and touch? IDK On my previous 350GT, I had a small bluetooth keyboard with a touch pad to control the phone I mirrored (VNC'd) onto the screen..

Haven't heard about the tesla screen tbh, but not a fan of big screens anyway.

The TFT I have might be 7" actually but has touch as well so I can control the phone via the screen. I'll share more info about this later when I get it installed and working. Just wanted to share this option here as well.

If your not into big screens, then the Tesla screen is well out of what you are looking for. The good thing is that from my understanding, its basically an Android tablet integrated into the the cars controls. So all the AC/Climate controls etc are there, as well as the latest navigation that can be installed on an android phone and ODBII software etc  etc. I'm not a fan of fixed/hardware navigation systems.

 

Nifty may just have something you could re-use in your system.

      I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
