SteveAudioX, Will the TME M770 screen fit into your motorized console? If it could I would be very interested in buying one of you, at the moment my screen is on display all the time and i dont feel to good leaving it in car parks. Thanks.

The cable should have been supplied, you need to contact the shop where you purchased it from and ask them to supply you one.

Thanks It works practically everywhere, it warns you about 5 miles in advance and asks if you want to reroute. You tap yes or no on the screen and the system does the rest.

But to get those screens in dont you have to take them apart and remove there body? I dont really fancy having a go with the Alpine just incase I wreck it. If I knew it would go in then I would defo be in for one of these!

Not sure if my screen would fit that

Thanks Steve, yes everything is working superbly. So are you going to sell any of your motorized dash trays?

Its actually a 6.5 inch Alpine model number TME M770

And me

I paid £1275 for the naviagtion system and the screen together, fitted it myself so that was the only cost really. Shame its not motorizes but it does look factory. I had to fix the screen in place as there isnt enough space in the dash tray for the screen. Install is not as hard as it looks. Just need a multimeter so you tap into the right wires.

And finally the GPS aerial mounted on the rear shelf, I hope you like the setup

Just finished fitting my Alpine NVE N099P navigation system with an Alpine Touch panel TME M770 screen. This system amazing. It took me about a day to fit it. It has several advantages over the standard Lexus navigation such as the touch control and also the TMC traffic alert system. I noticed how quick it is compared to my older Alpine INA N333R i used to have in my last car. The routing of the wiring was the hardest part. I have mounted the screen in a TRD dash tray. It is always open and on show unfortunatly. I wish steve audio would sell me one of his motorized ones. The navigation computer is in the boot. The screen and the navigation get their swiched power supply from behind the cigarette lighter, the permanent power supply was taken direct from the battery f or the navigation unit. The scrren only needs a switched supply. The handbrake cables on both units were grounded so all operations are possible even when driving. The speed signal was taken from behind the speedo (white wire with blue stripe). I was told you can pick it up in the footwells but despite searching I couldnt find it there. Anyway behind the speedo was quite easy to locate. I have the GPS antenna placed on the rear parcel shelf, I was worried it might not work there due to the heated screen but after testing it I was recieving full signal.

I thought that the safety screen was linked to the handbrake and not the speed sensor, Once the handbrake is lifted all the menus are accessible. If this is the case you need to find the wire going to the handbrake switch and ground it. This will make the system believe that the parking brake is on all the time, allowing you to go through all the menus even when driving.

Can anyone help

Have you seen the amount of wires in the footwells!! How do you know which one? I have found a white wire with a blue stripe on it coming out of the ecu under the bonnet, would that be the right one?
