Hi everyone,

I'm waiting to pickup my R33 GTS-T from the previous owner and there was one question he couldn't answer about it.

The unit has an inbuilt LCD screen which controlls the sat nav, cd stacker, am/fm radio, audio equaliser and TV Tuner and, yes, get this, tape deck!!

I didnt check for the brand when I test drove the car, but later on when I spoke to him he said it was a Nissan branded unit.

Has anyone else seen one of these? I'd like to get as much information about it as possible, a manual would be even better!!

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

yep they are lots of funs to remove and the stacker is a sony A30 unit. they are indeed factory fit on these cars and removing one involves a LOT of rewiring as EVERYTHING is tied to a module behind the rear seat. can't remeber the make of the actual unit but clarion ( denso) rings a bell for some reason.

as usual the nav/tv wont work here. the stacker will be on its last legs as well.

have fun..

Hi Chris,

The unit has Nissan CW726 written on it. It has a 7" (approx) screen that shows either current radio station, cd stacker info, tv or input from the front mounted a/v inputs. The stacker itself has Nissan written on it too, and its a six stacker.

Any ideas on where I might get information on it, google returns one link (in japanese) and thats all.

I dont think its a Clarion unit as I believe those units allow the screen to retract into the dash, this screen stays out all the time although the angle is adjustable.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Ok, thanks for that. So I guess I could try Clarion for some info. I'd like to get hold of a schematic diagram or service manual, at least that way I can see if it can be modified for PAL.

Check this thread here for a link to a company that does PAL conversions:

is it possible to get a dvd player to hook up to the tv that accepts pal dvds but converts to ntsc for the jap tv?

It may be possible, most of the current home DVD players can be set to output either PAL or NTSC irrespective of the DVD type, so you'd need to make sure the car versions do the same.

For me it wasnt about DVD tho, i was thinking it would be cool to be able to listen to the V8 Supercar races if I happened to be on the road at the time of the telecast.

Yep, there are more than a few in-car DVD players that do just that, they have an NTSC video output on them so that they can be plugged into OEM screens that have a video aux-in connector.

Can you suggest any reasonably priced (mp3 + tuner) models ant?

best I've come up with so far (price/value/quality wise) is http://www.jvc-australia.com/products/_pro...ils.asp?ID=1397

ok that changes things:

try this:

http://www.audioexpress.com.au/shop/item_s...?code_no=VS9910

price ( I need to update mine) is $1900

I already have a ntsc tv that came with nav system. Want a single din unit that accepts pal outputs ntsc + mp3 + tuner. Similar to this http://www.jvc-australia.com/products/_pro...ils.asp?ID=1397

If you aren't too worried about the brand, found the following after a quick google search:

http://www.strathfield.com/Products.asp?CatID=186

There are plenty of similar cheap no-brand units out there.

Though that JVC unit is pretty good value for money I reckon, cheaper than some high end CD units I've seen!
