Muttley Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Hi all. Just a quick question about the DVD drive behind the drivers seat. I have a 52reg JDM 350z and want to use the built in Sat-Nav. I have read on here that its possible when you swap the DVD drive with one from a Nissan X-Trail, but my question is, is that the only other nissan DVD drive you can swap it with???? For example, how about a Nissan almera? Anyone with experience in this, i would greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance for any response. Muttley Quote
IanS16 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I think you can get one from a Navara, X-Trail, Primera and mine for my old Zed was out of a Patrol. Quote
Muttley Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Cheers pal. So you reckon pretty much any Nissan DVD rom will fit and work?? Muttley Quote
IanS16 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Tomorrow I'll have a look through my work emails from when I bought mine and I'll get the exact model number for you Quote
Muttley Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 That'd be brilliant, cheers for that. So you have converted one to work in the UK? How well does it work? Would you recommend doing it? Muttley Quote

Would you recommend doing it?Muttley Yes I have, it works exactly the same as the UK Zed's satnav. It's OKAY but doesnt accept postcodes which is a bit crap. You lose all of the TV tuner stuff from the JDM too. Unless you can find one really cheap (they are rare) I'd go for one of nurrish's satnav systems Quote

Great little piece of kit and he is doing them at a great price. Quote

IanS16 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Forgot about this thread, sorry. The model numbers: MODEL: CCA-814SC (EU) PART: CONT ASSY-NAVI I'd still go with nurrish's nav over one of these though Quote
Muttley Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 Brilliant, cheers guys. I'l take a good look at that and start saving my pennies. Thanks for all the info. Muttley Quote
