Altezza

[scott altez]

Hi Guys

looks like i'm the newest member to your group just bought an Altezza Rs200 yesterday and after reading a lot of your replys to various subjects it was really helpfull when buying it. really pleased with it so far.Only problem i have with it is that the cd/satnav/tv is not working at all !!!. I think either a wire has come off at back or the wire to the display screen has broken.the model no is NMCT D59 . and its an all in one unit located in middle of dash.I had only ever seen the pop up screen type on top of dash till this one but because theres no power going to it i cant get screen to retract down and i guess the cds go in behind display.Now i know the sat nav will not work in uk without a software upgrade,What my question is does anybody no if the tv will work in the uk as the dilema i have is wether to take it out and replace it with a normal stereo/cd head unit but would like to keep it in as it looks the part and if the tv will work that would be a bonus!! i wouldn't imagine its going to be too hard to fix if its just a wire thats come off but if it turns out a more serious problem wouldn't mind paying to get it fixed if i know the tv will work.The other thing is does the stereo just pull out like any other or is it bolted in from behind and centre part of dash has to come out to remove it.

Any help or thoughts guys

Cheers

Hiya Scottie!!! Glad to see you got a Tezz. There are 4 bolts holding the stereo unit in place. If you do a search you will find instructions on how to remove the screen, and where the bolts are situated.

I have had Altezza`s where that the TV works ever so slightly in certain areas/conditions, but it is by no means reliable.

Congrats on the 'tezza :D top choice.. i've had mine for lil over 2 months and its best car i've owned to date :)

Well i hope you know the Sat nav won't work unless its been converted to UK spec.

I wish i could convert mine!

Hi scott lottery came up eventually managed to get a blue one much same bodykit as yours standard tezz alloys and it was in Uk already so didn't have to part with cash till i'd seen it, you how nervous i was about that (LOL). I think you were the only one that put any effort into finding one for me mate rest of monkeys i dealt with must be millionaires as they didn't put much effort into finding one for me!!!!!!.came across company called PRESTIEGE MOTORSPORT they were really helpfull too but same kind of terms and conditions as yourself and sent loads of pics every other day.

Seems to be going ok nipped it down to local car hi fi specialist today going to have a look at it for me tommorow hopefully it will be nothing more than a loose wire noticed today that it also has mini disk which is another bonus.just a pity there wasn't a cheap fix to get sat nav working in uk.I'll let you know how i get on.

Seems bit thirsty on fuel, gauge seems to be on move everytime out in it (lol)

Glad you found one in the end mate... Mr. Singh has a thirsty Altezza too, might be an idea to get in contact with him to compare notes etc...

Just so you know, if you have the standard sat nav the CD actually goes in a unit in the boot... it may be under the carpet, can't say for sure as the last time I saw one was 2 years ago.

Yes, under the carpet on the right hand side.

[Mr Singh]

I need to check mine out..

Would it be as easy as that, change the disc and volia! English/UK spec?

Yep mines thirsty... i did 260miles on my last tank of Optimax... i'm back on unleaded now, no point spending money on fuel when clearly its juicing it up too much lol

I've got induction kit and exhaust planned too.. *** knows what that will do to fuel ecconmy lol

[AltezzaScott]

I don`t think that it is as easy as that....the whole system has to be replaced as far as i know?

[AltezzaScott]

Hey Am..... you sure your not running on Carbs!!!!

Hi Guys

Well i'm gutted today looks like the problem was more serious than just a wire off, all the power was there looks like a ribbon cable that connects the display screen to unit had come out and possibly is damaged and even pushing it back in connector still dosn,t work.Looks like somebodys had a go at it already !!!!.Just got a standard cd head unit fitted for now.Had a look in boot for sat nav cd but def not there.This unit from my car has cd/sat nav/tv/mini disk player all in one would have been great to get it working.looks like need to find local tv/stereo repair type place to have a look.Next time i fill up with fuel ill reset trip and see what i get and compare notes.

[Mr Singh]

Hey Am..... you sure your not running on Carbs!!!!

lmao!

No :(

If i drive it like a granny in a civic then it might do 27-28mpg thats like gear change upto 3,000rpm and not a rpm higher!

Hopefully my demo van will be finished before too long.. which means i can drive that around 50mpg :D with 160dBs worth of bass to go with it :zee:

Then i'll start work on the 'tezzas ICE ;)

Scott.. There should be a small box just above the wheel well to the right.. it will be there.. if not then you've been robbed

Am.
