Standard TV in SII skyline - other purposes?

[Scooby_Steve]

Hi,

My SII R33 Skyline came with one of those factory Nissan Screens that are used for a GPS. Does anyone know if i can use this monitor for anything else (eg. attach a playstation or dvd player to it)? there is a button on it saying TV/CD but everything is in Japanese so I dont have a clue what it means. Any help would be great. Dont want to waste this screen. Thanks

Steve

Usually they have an aux input so you can hook a dvd/mp3 player up to them.

They usually put the control box under the passenger seat, or up under the dash on the passengers side.

Just remember that the screen will more than likey be NTSC, not the Australian standard of PAL.

I've got the TV/sat nav stuff in the Stagea, I've ripped all the sat nav stuff out and will just use the screen. I've found (on the net) a small unit that plays mpg/avi/divx/dvd etc, also plays mp3 and comes with USB2 and a 20gig hard drive.

Very handy to load and play movies and mp3's anywhere you go.

Thanks Jay95... in regards to that little unit, that's not a little computer (PC) is it? or is it more of a standalone dvd etc player?

G'day Steve,

It's a stand alone player, sort of....

Here's a link to the one I've been eyeing off for a while;

Hey guys,

I had the same unit in mine. A guy in Vic Park on Teddington Rd, HiFi place, can't remeber for the life of me what is was called, does all sorts of mods, he told me he could modify the unit and make it able to play TV/DVD etc. The GPS unit with it doesn't work in Aust, as in Japan they use a different system, their's updates as you drive or something!

Can't remember his name either, think it may have been Greg?? He was pretty helpfull, knows his stuff! Go check it out, it's close to the lights of Shepperton Rd.

Hey guys,

I had the same unit in mine. A guy here in Perth does all sorts of mods, he told me he could modify the unit and make it able to play TV/DVD etc. The GPS unit that comes with it doesn't work in Aust, as in Japan they use a different system, their's updates as you drive or something I think!

So they can be used, but I don't know if it's really worth it in the end! I changed mine to an indash 7" touch screen unit. I've got a program which creates a DVD of your MP3's. I used an 8GB DVD+R and filled it MP3s. Can create a menu, background picture and all, really cool!! Program's called Audio DVD Creator.

i didnt know it was standard... mine came with a screen on top of the dash too... doesnt look standard... looks shoddy... theres a wire running down my dash.. and the monitors kinda stuck on to it.

but it still works tho it shows me how fast i'm going (in digital ) and its got this lil F1 car which reprasents my car.... its still monitorring me... the only thing is its got the jap map in it still so im driving over oceans and lakes

its got a box under the passenger seat... tried to plug in my dvd player but couldnt get it to work...

Scooby_Steve or anyone with the SII factory option TV- can you post a pic of it for me? I just want to see how it looks. Does it just come in place of the double DIN stereo box?

Cheers,
