astonal Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Hi Im pretty new so forgive me if this already appears somewhere else in the forum, but where can I get a reasonably priced SatNav swap for my Jap Import 350z? Its annoying to have all the tec in the car and not be able to use it - I have seen some very interesting posts about installing PCs - but isnt this a very expensive/tricky job? Or am I being cowardly Quote
Guest prescience Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I just have the TomTom in the cubby - fits nice and snug; that's a cheap option. If you want a built-in permament screen in there, someon will be along to advise Quote
astonal Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks - I think Im after a fuller swap out - the PC stuff has really got me thinking too - nice wheels by the way Quote
M13KYF Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Was a company on ebay the other week that did a conversion kit. Think it used the original screen but the rest of the stuff was new with a remote control panel. Can't remember the full details but if I see them again I'll post them up. Cost was about £850 i think. So not cheap. Quote
350Znismo Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Try this forum its free http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/search. ... id=1881561 It has all the 350z PC instalations and the free software for car pc's. You will need a little knowledge on pc's but here you will find all the sat nav software for free. The total cost i have spent is £450 and i need a good 7" touch screen. but this will be more than just a sat nav. There is a few posts on turning the existing jap screen into a dvd player and gaming machine !!!! Quote
M13KYF Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Found the compant who does the sat nav conversion for JDM models. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mazda-RX8-Nissan- ... dZViewItem Nissan Skyline & 350Z The main unit is replaced and kept in the same place (glove box area). The new unit is IR remote controlled. Same NAVTEQ Navigation unit but DVD European Spec. PS You will find some company's ADDING navigation units to other parts of the car, this looks terrible and will not be fully functional. We replace the original unit & it all looks original!! We can do the same to most Imported Cars/Trucks. 12month Warranty (Hardware) Lifetime Warranty (Workmanship) Quote

M13KYF Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 thanks mate I have asked for some images, if I get them I shall post them up for others Did you ever get some piccies. Would be good if you could post them up Quote
Guest hp810c81 Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I have spoken to this guy and there is a problem on some JDM's that require and extra box to be installed at a cost of £300 on top of the £850. Quote
Leenx Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Hi Anyone know how you close the display fascia on the 7" screen? If you try pushing it down manually there is a lot of resistance - don't wanna break it! Thanks Nick Quote
