Burf Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This is a proper noob question so I'm sorry lol. I have just got a Zed imported from Japan, it has the BOSE sound system, how do I change the time on it? I would look in the manual but that would involve me going on a crash course in Japanese, lol. As far as I can tell there is no menu button on it? Very confusing....any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 That's what I was thinking. The only clock in the Zed that I can see is on the multi-function thingy on the auxiliary gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yep, that's the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drexyl Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Do those auxilary gauge doofer pod thingies have a clock on them? I never realized! I shall have to investigate in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On uk cars they do That may explain it. Mine's obviously a JDM, and like the earlier poster, mines all in some weird symbology that only a hobbit could understand. Do you know for sure that JDM's don't have a clock? I'd imagine with the way everything in Japan is run so efficiently, it'd been the first thing they'd install!

I'm off to have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burf Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Right just sorted it. It is a clock on the BOSE unit, you hold down the DISP button and then use the volume to change the hours and the SEEK button to change the minutes. However, The jap version does not have a clock in the pod (I just had a look). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Okay, been and had a gander. There's no clock on the gauge pod. A couple of timers, y'know a stopwatch and a distance/time measuring system unit, but no clock. The other pods show volts and oil pressure. Now that I think about it, I seem to remember a clock on the factory radio/cd, which has long since gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me ages to work that out.. the minutes are easy to change, it was just the hours Just to confirm, there is a clock on the BOSE display and on the birdview screen on the JDM cars.

Ahhh crap yeah, I forgot about the clock on the birdview! lol, dont suppose anyone knows how to change that? Any fluent Japanese speakers out there? lol Actually while on the subject of that, there must be a language option which will set the language on it to english? must just be buried in the blur of japanese symbols. I'll investigate, if there is, I'll let people know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 No.. there isn't a language option. -not to change it to English anyway. I got a uk dvd drive so mine is in english now, think that's the only way to do it! Oh, and i think the clock is set via GPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to rip out the screen too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burf Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ok then, I think Japanese lessons will be cheaper, might do that! lol. Cheers for the advice peeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... t=birdview Have a look there. All you have to replace is the DVD drive behind your seat and put in a UK disk. I got one for £160 out of a Nissan Patrol and someone else got one for £188 the other day. They are hard to find but if you keep looking you'll get one for a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
