Little Tech Tricks - boy things

[diggerd]

Hi all,

Really silly question, but the boy in me loves fiddling and playing with things.

Picking up the new VRX tomorrow and just wondering if there are any little settings, adjustments controls what-have-you that can/should/shouldn't be adjusted that are not immediately obvious?

NS/VRX/3.8 Petrol. AVN6000 fit next week that should keep me fiddling

Just one thing - before you spend the $$$$, I noticed that you are getting the AVN 6000 fitted. For the same dollars you could get the Infill G4 car pc, which I am fitting to my VRX tommorow. It will give you everything the AVN gives you, but has a 40 gig hdd for all your music and being PC based will provide off road satnav. It will also run your phone and anything else a PC will run. I am connecting an OBD scanner for engine diagnostics, fault code analysis and virtual guages. For more info go to www.maxice.com.au.

No I don't work for them!

One thing to make sure of is that your alarm is on, seems the factory default is off...

Can the Infill G4 fit in the head unit slot? It seems that the head unit slot is a little bit smaller than the standard 2-din. Can you post images of your dash with the Infill G4? How much is the Infill G4? Can you still use the steering mounted controls of the head unit with the Infill G4?

Schniff, it looks like an amazing product. I'd love to know how it works for you. I was tempted to install it, but in the end went with the AVN6000 as I didnt trust Win XP to run reliably in my car when it wont run reliably on my desktop...

Steering Wheel control of AVN6000

Hi I have the AVN6000 fitted to mine, but the steering wheel controls don't work. Should they?

2008 NS 25th Anniversary Model.

How do you set the alarm to on? Is it something that a dealer has to do?

Pretty sure it is described in the owners manual...small set of convoluted steps from memory

Thank you joshf,
As for the instructions, I tried these exact one (maybe from another thread) when I got my ns 3 years back and it didn't work. I thought there are different ways to do it. (I did try again just to be sure).

turn to page 1-14 to 1-15 in your owners manual for a description of the system
