Thanks for that! 🤩👍 I tried to install a newer Nissan head unit but unfortunately the Nissan Anti Theft System NATS are a lot different and couldn't talk to each other unfortunately 🙄

Well done Dai!

Great video. Must have taken you ages to modify it. A project for the weekend. Thank you for posting x

Thanks and good luck! 👍

Nice one! Well done!! 🤩👍

@@5RGJDCoy after an hour, I went and checked time. It only displayed Self Test mode - 12:00, so to fix this, I needed to unplug power from Nav unit and then plug in again and it reverts to correct saved local time. We have no DST where we live, so a switch is not needed for internal batt, however, a NC switch/button will be needed for every start to get out of Self Test mode. At least that's better than Japan time being displayed.

Excellent!!

@@5RGJDCoy many thanks for the information 👍

You would lose the Sat Nav display obviously, but also the Clock Display and the ability to lower and control the rear screen, plus the ability to split front and rear sound. Unfortunately quite a lot of functions go through the Nav Unit, including the CanBus signal. You could do it and see what functions you are OK managing without?

That's right! Two pins/one side for the back up battery and the others for the permanent battery connection (the 2 yellow/green wires that come into the back of the Nav unit.) You'll want to have the wire from the back up battery and the two yellow/green wires on the same side of the switch, so that when you 'close' the switch it 'makes' both of those connections respectively and breaks the connections when opened, so along with ignition off, you will cut all power to the Nav Unit. Good Luck! 🤩

@@5RGJDCoy Thank you for replying and helping out the Elgrand community!! Hopefully I don't make a mess of it :))

Good Luck! 🤩 Take it slow and take photos as you go, to remember where things (especially the multiple small screws) live. 😁👍

Exactly Ryan, that would stop the clocks displaying, but the Nav unit is central to a lot of other functions because Canbus signals go through it. The easiest (and less involved) method would be to just snip the back up battery single leg, push the back up battery away towards the circuit board, then all you would need to get the Nav Unit and clock to reboot is unplug the unit, wait long enough for any residual current to dissipate (say 10 mins.) then reconnect as a practice, time your boot up (probably around 30 secs) and then re do just before 9am or 9pm, as for parts as a complete novice you're probably best getting an auto electrician to help. Hope this helps?

Thanks! 😁👍

Good to know! Well done and thanks Chris! 👍

Thanks Adam! Well done for giving it a go! 😁👍

Fantastic! Well done Andrew 😁👍

@@5RGJDCoy just a few minutes to wait for 9.00

@@andrewsmyth8615 Good Luck! You've just enough time to practice and find how long your boot up is to get it spot on? 🤞

Cheers Andy!! 😁

Good Luke Spyros, not sure it’s the same tho’?

@@5RGJDCoy Thank you, not sure ether, frm outside it looks to work the same. We will see when I find the time to try. I am only worried if it lock when it looses power.

It might have a Nissan Anti Theft System microchip inside somewhere, that’s already programmed to your vehicle if it’s the original unit, so hopefully it will talk to the vehicle and be recognised on reconnecting?

Thanks Dmitry, Yes it is the permanent battery power to the Navi unit that keeps its memory, when the ignition is off. The 2x Green/Yellow wires are interrupted by these wires and through the switch to be able to turn off the battery power, (Both Vehicle and back up batteries). The clock isn’t illuminated when the ignition is off. It should keep time tho’ Is yours a Series 1 or 2?

Cheers! 🤩

Спасибо за добрые слова и удачи Thanks for your kind words and good luck with your clock fix 😁👍

Your welcome, 🤩 any issues, comment and I'll try and help👍
