Default Nav-tv.com first 350z test pig...me :)

I decided to do some mods today.

Now I put in a k&n airfilter(decided against the JW popchgr), put little z value stem caps on from courtesy nissan(lost my factory ones) and my first big mod should be done next week.

bye bye $1000 bucks hello nav-tv.com

The RGB converter is coming on friday and the stereo shop is installing the RGB converter, the fm modulator, and the switch. Plus im doing a audiovox DVD player (went cheap) in the adjacent space next to the nav dvd.

I asked him to expose the RGB slots under dash so I can hook up my PS2, the gay installer is gonna run a wire to the emergency brake. Guess whats gonna get clipped when i take it home... hee hee.

I also picked up the factory frost dvd frame used on the dvd plyer behind the driver seat from courtesynissan. (Steve aka partspeddler just got back from Japan...had a LLLOOONNGG talk with him

lets hope I didnt just pooch screw my nav system.

I should see the finished deal by next tuesday. I'll have pics. Nav-TV is sending em diagrams for the G35 nav...and I am hoping its the same deal which...it should be.

jason: i think i know who is doing your install... word spreads fast in the car audio world. my guys asked me if i wanted to go video... i told them your car is used to being broken, so i would let you go first

jill: i am sure its the same kit for the G35...

I tried everything to get someone else to do it first but....no one had the ***** to do it....You right I figured...im used to going without my z...so might as will be the first.

If this works finally we can say YES the NAV can play movies...LOL.

That's all dependent on whether I can sell it... There isn't a big market right now for Z's, not as much demand as there was 1 month ago unfortunately.

Same thing on the rims... No matter what rims I get they'll fit on a G or a Z, and i'll make sure to get rims that'll look good on both. Worst comes to worst, if I get the SSR GT3's, they'll fit on my GS400 as well, I've always wanted 19's on that car

Just my luck.....houston we have a problem.

The installer thinks that the rgb converter is defective...calling nav-tv to send out another one.

Everything works but the dvd screen has lines in it. When its on NAV it is perfect. The FM modulator sounds good.

But the other thing that is bugging me is...now the service engine soon is on again....GEEZ

SKIDD....I would love a copy of the service manual

Well. Looks like Nav-tv needs to trouble shoot this and send a new rgb converter out....It looks cool I can now imagine it being perfect...very cool.

Heres a pic of my 350z ps2 concept game I got from Zisme, playing on the NAV screen.
