Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / November 2007GPS
I have just purchased a Nissan Cefiro Year 2000 with a GPS in the dash. It is a Birdview by Xanavi. The screen however is under a cover on the top of the dash. I can't find out how to open it. The main unit is in the boot and has voltage to it as it accepts any cd you put in. This still doesn't open the screen From what I have read so far it also displays a compass. I know you cannot get any maps of NZ as yet but would like to be able to open the thing. It may have had a remote that was not with the car. Any help would be appreciated on 10/14/2007 7:26 PM KG said the following: > I have just purchased a Nissan Cefiro Year 2000 with a GPS in the > dash. It is a Birdview by Xanavi.

These Nissans are imported from Japan and some like mine have a GPS factory installed but doesn't work here as Xanavi don't supply maps for my area (NZ). I have even emailed the main dealer in the USA and got a similar reply....nobody is very helpful as yet but will get the answer sometime I'm sure. It's a simple question really....how do you open the screen??? Thanks for your suggestion > Unfortunately the dealer here in NZ doesn't want to know > anything about it.

The company web site at http://www.xanavi.co.jp/index_e.html seems to be lacking all detail, especially for older units. I did find an archive with a lot more info: http://web.archive.org/web/20010418101610/http://www.xanavi.co.jp/en/nav/index.html However, I didn't see the answer to your question. But you might have more time to explore (if you haven't already found the site). John > > Unfortunately the dealer here in NZ doesn't want to know > > anything about it.

I have noticed though that three of the pictures of the systems display a 'controller' like you use for the TV so maybe that's what I'm missing. That would be a pity as it is probably programed only to that actual unit and was not put back in the car before leaving Japan. My hard luck there I think!!!

I have sent an email to xanavi so maybe they will reply......ever hopeful http://web.archive.org/web/20010418101610/http://www.xanavi.co.jp/en/nav/index.html Kaye > > > Unfortunately the dealer here in NZ doesn't want to know > > > anything about it.

Would anyone know where I could get one and would it have to be programed to that system only or would they work with all Birdviews in my Nissan cefiro? > > Unfortunately the dealer here in NZ doesn't want to know > > anything about it.

Hpwever this did not come up on the NZ Nissan data base so not good as yet. I may now contact my Japaneese friend and see if he can get one using that part number in Japan and mail it to me.
