I Have A Pioneer Carrozzeria System

[jasear]

with a gps core using, satellite cruising system, tv/fm tuner, cd changer e.t.c. However I have no idea of how they are all connected. And because its japanese system i cant get hold of the wiring diagram either.

Does anyone have any experience in fitting sat nav systems? This system came off an existing car and i bought it off eBay so i assume it had all the conversions done. Its just a matter of connecting it up correctly.

If you know how to connect sat nav's then any help and information will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you could post up some pics of all the parts you have?

you should have at least 2 units

the headunit with everything built in inc screen and the GPS Receiver.

maybe more parts if its older or more complicated.

[Monster-Mat]

it will wire up the same as any Pioneer system,

i get loads of this stuff from the imports, it normally goes in the bin........

Sorry but the GPS stuff won't work, i too get lots of calls from dealers about import systems they have. The CD player and radio will work, but sat nav/gps wont.

Your better of selling back on eBay... and hope you get something back!!!!

Actually guys I think I should let you know I assumed it was a jap sat nav system. The reason being that when i did a search on google for carrozzeria it brought up a lot of japanese web sites! Plus i assumed carrozzeria was japanese brand.

Looking at all of the units now I have noticed that none of the gps units or tv fm tuners have anything on it written in japanese. The only thing that does have some stuff written in japanese on it is the lcd screen which seems to be seperate from the whole unit.

When the stuff was sold to me, it wasnt sold as a japanese sat nav system. I guess I just made a silly assumption!

Anyway now back to the stuff itself here is a complete break down of what I have:

1- 2 [1 of them is spare] x Carrozzeria Pioneer Satellite Cruising System AVIC G2 [Display processor unit]

2- 2 [1 of them is spare] x Carrozzeria Pioneer Satellite Cruising System AVIC G2 [GPS reciever]

3- 2 [1 perhaps spare] x Carrozzeria Pioneer Satellite Cruising System AVIC - 1 antenna.

4- 2 [1 perhaps spare] x Carrozzeria Pioneer TV/FM/AM tuner GEX-T90.

5- 1 x carrozzeria Pioneer CD player + 6 disc cd changer CDX M40.

6- 1 x Panasonic LCD TR-7LC1.

7- Remote control

8- Panasonic diversity unit.

9- 2 x tv antenna's.

10- All the wiring.

Thats it! Phew!

Im not that bothered about getting the Sat nav working although it would be great if I can get that working. However Id be happy by atleast being able to get the tv stuff connected and working plus the cd changer connected properly and working.

Here are some pictures:

Lastly, I dont want to spend a fortune on fitting the stuff. Most of the wiring is already connected. I cannot see it taking too long to fit the whole system.

Any help will be appreciated.

So I was right in assuming carrozzeria was a japanese brand version of pioneer.

Its just strange that you dont find any markings in japanese at all! So the question now is does anyone know how I can fit the whole system?

And whether the sat nav would work or not?

So there is no way of converting the sat nav? Cause apparently according to this guy who sold it to me it was working for him on his car in uk? I need to know this so that i can have a chat about this with him.

Secondly, If as you say all of the stuff is useless would the antenna be of any use? And would the lcd display work if i get a uk tv fm tuner? or are all of these useless too?

[Monster-Mat]

Tobe honest mate.........its not worth the hassel, thats why i said i bin it all when it comes in the cars.....

The reason I ask is not because I will bother getting the coversion done but I am wondering that if this guy is telling the truth and it did work in his car then it might been already converted? Is there a way i can tell if thats the case?

And what about the LCD screen ? Is that useless as well? or can i use it with a uk tv fm tuner?

[Brettster]

well it depends on the LCD screen

ones you buy in europe and Hong Kong are designed to work on PAL and NTSC systems

ones from Japan are usually NTSC only

so it may or maynot work

but for £100 you can have a spanking new 7" widescreen TFT from eBay that will run everything

try a google search on the model number of the LCD see what you can find out
