カーナビ レビュー title=

ずっと前撮った写真だけど、なかなかレビュー時間がなくて。。。
FujitsuのAVN6606HD カーナビ。買ったときに全く素人で、AUTOBACSでいじったら、画面の反応が良かったのでこれにした。他のPANASONIC製などは、地図をドラグしようとすると、地図が動くまでは1秒ぐらい待たないといけなかった。

バックカメラのBEC106だ。絶対必要と思い買ったのだが、結局は全然使っていない。家のマーチの後ろの視界は結構いいので、バックカメラは不必要だった。

カーナビ レビュー title=

当時業界初のフロントカメラのFEC106だ。スピードを落とすとカーナビの画面が切り替わり、右と左が見える。マーチみたいな小さい車では不必要なのだが、スポーツカーには役に立つかもしれない。結局は2万円の無駄だ。orz

カーナビ レビュー title=

ETCユニットのCY-ET906KDだ。

カーナビ レビュー title=

高いETCユニットも存在しているのだが、一番安いやつで十分だ。このCY-ET906KDは9000円ぐらいだった。

カーナビ レビュー title=

VICSのVIX 104ユニットだ。

カーナビ レビュー title=

Vehicle Information and Communication System(VICS)は事故や渋滞情報をカーナビに伝える仕組みみたいなもん。

カーナビ レビュー title=

配線はいっぱい付いている。

カーナビ レビュー title=

読まない説明書も付いている。

カーナビ レビュー title=

みずきちゃんは付いていない。

後ろはこんな感じ。

カーナビ レビュー title=

自分でインストールしようと最初思ったのだが、面倒くさすぎて、人に頼んだ。暇があれば、だれでも出来ると思うのだが。

カーナビ レビュー title=

ビフォア。

カーナビ レビュー title=

アフター。システム的は不満はない。なかなか使いやすい。
MP3の保存されたDVDは読み込まないのは頭に来る。

カーナビ レビュー title=

解像度はEGAなのだが、プラス何万円でVGAを買う必要はない。EGAで十分。

DVDやCDを入れるときは画面が前に移動。しかし閉じるには画面をタッチしないといけないのはおかしい。

カーナビ レビュー title=

試し程度しか使っていないDVDプレヤー。

カーナビ レビュー title=

フロントカメラはこんな感じに取り付けています。

カーナビ レビュー title=

車前の右・左が見える。けっこう役に立たん。

バックビュー。これも使わん。

    HAAH HAAH HAAH! Silly Danny! You ask: "Do I drive?"

    It's like asking whether I breathe!
    *puff* *puff* *PUFF*
    Oh yeah! That's some good air.

    This actually looks really cool. I do like how advanced the navigation system is. (of course at a 'nice' price :) )

    As for the ETC, it's probably similar to what we have here in Singapore, the ERP (electronic road pricing) system, where we slot our cashcard into the system and money gets electronically deducted from the card when we pass through a ERP gantry. Toll-collection scheme as they call it ^___^ (Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Road_Pricing)

    The front camera's cool as you could even slow down and look up at skirts :p

    I suppose I could use some cameras on my pickup. As for the film, looks like the Minority Report to me. I could've used the dvd player today as I was stuck in traffic. It took me 25 minutes to go around a mile in the city traffic during the commute home. The power decided it'd be a good time for a break.

    Ooooooooooooh... T^T Roy is get a new car and now you too... It's not fair, I want a new car too. ^o^ The Fairlady is one of my favorite, always has and always will be such a sweet automobile.

    My fiancee has been talking about a carnavi for her Colt. Here you can live without such things, but I can see why it would be nice for Japan.

    Where did the ETC get installed? Is it out in a visible location or hidden somewhere? I used to have a Sunshine Pass for use on the Florida Turnpike. Real hi-tech gear, a white plastic box with two pieces of sticky foam. ^^; Just put it inside on my windshield near the rearview mirror.

    The movie looks like Minority Report...

    Nice new nav, tho i must say it's a tad bit too expensive ($2000+$600 for installation!). As for ETC, I'm used to it (we have the world's 1st fully ETC highway here) though ours makes annoying beeping sounds when passing through the detectors.

    350z!! wow I'm so jealous. Not my favorite car in that class, but still great. Are you getting the orange (default) color one?

    Nice new nav, tho i must say it's a tad bit too expensive ($2000+$600 for installation!). As for ETC, I'm used to it (we have the world's 1st fully ETC highway here) though ours makes annoying beeping sounds when passing through the detectors.

    350z!! wow I'm so jealous. Not my favorite car in that class, but still great. Are you getting the orange (default) color one?

    A Fairlady (350)Z?!
    That thing packs a load of horsepower (but lacks bit of interior quality).

    Auto or Manual?
    And is it the 2006 model with 296 BHP?

    I also heard that u can equip the 350Z with a satellite-navigation system that uses Nissan's Birdview screen.

    :O THe Nissan you are goingt o get is sooooo cool! I saw one the other day it was soo shiney :D

    As for the Navigation, i thought, when you went into full 3D mode, it looked like something out of Ghost in the Shell, if only it were in a green wire esh, then you could really feel like you were in the anime :P

    When you get your new car you must post up lots of nice pictures of it :D

    Oh My...
    Well I've already tried several types of gps on my car....biznessss...unfortunatly..and I must say that your gps looks awesome...the 3D feature I saw on one of your pictures leaves me flabbergasted...to say the least.
    On the other hand ..what a relief to hear that you also have to struggle with a % of inaccuracy.
    Always lots of fun when that damn thing sends you back because for a brief moment it's lost in all that sattelite's junk.
    But once again....Oh My...I'ld to try that one out on my cheetah (car's nickname)...
    Oh and the Nissan.....ferociously awesome

    Pretty nice, but I don't see the need to install such an expensive piece into a 2nd hand car. Any hand held GPS is good enough since all we need to hear is the voice. Then again, I guess it's not that easy in Japan. By the way, don't watch dvd when driving. That's like asking to get yourself killed.

    I also have an off topic question. Is your PG strike marked with waterslide decals or stickers? From the photos I can still see the rectangle edges from the markings. I don't want to buy decals if it's just going to come out the same with the stickers. LMK, thanks

    I don't really see a need for the navigation system, unless you just really don't have a clue how to navigate.. some people just have a compass in their head, some like myself just remember by landmarks.

    The exception to the rule is unless the road system in japan is just horrible like in Thailand. roads come and dissapear randomly.

      When you're driving into a totally unfamiliar town, it's much more easier to drive with a GPS than block the traffic by being totally lost :P

    Majority of cars that I saw in Japan had some form of car navigation in them. Though after wondering the streets of Japan I can see why. It's quite difficult to navigate your way around Tokyo if you don't know how the addressing system works.

    Also very nice if you are getting a Nissan Fairlady Z. Getting the convertible or hardtop version of the 350Z?

    All,
    Dont know which version of the Fairlady yet but probably Auto.
    And the film was Minority Report.

    Edward,
    She helped me choose it ^^;

    Arrot,
    Everything changes over here within a short time. Road really do go missing!

    Ken,
    Strikes stickers are nasty stickers - Bandai folks should be beaten by a stick for doing that.

    SG,
    TomTom?

    Dante,
    I never pay attention to gas prices (I should I guess) and just tell them to fill her up. Costs about 300 yen for a full tank.

    Chris,
    The crime rate is very low here so its not too much of a problem.

    Kururu_lava,
    I still have a long way to go ^^;

    Rufus,
    I do like the orange but will probably get black instead.

    Edward in Michigan,
    Its installed inside the car.

    Jimmie,
    Thanks ^^

    Demacrez,
    Sometimes ^o^

    windbell,
    I never thought of that!

    GundamZZ,
    Not sure yet - need more parking space.

    Maybe you can mount a disc radome on your car roof for 360deg situation awareness. No need for a reverse camera anymore!

    That totally kicks the pants out of Americn made GPS =O


    Yes I do drive. Road sizes vary, the area around where I live is rural/suburban, so you see smaller streets (for horse and buggy) and huge highways (I-78). I drive a nice truck, it has a small engine so it gets about 28 miles to the gallon.


    That is a nice car you drive! I wouldn't dare drive something that expensive, only because insurance is a heart attack if you or someone else decides to ruin your day. Its nice to have a pickup truck when I need to haul stuff around. I mostly drive it to work and school, and will probably rarely use it once I am at college.


    I have actually heard that solar weather is acting up lately, 2011 being a bad year =/ Aparantly blasts from the sun can cripple GPS systems, rendering them useless. My truck has a nice stereo, good speakers, and new tires, and thats all the truck has going for it =p.

    How's GPS+Traffic system works in Japan? I believe the tech is pretty "matured" in Japan.
    In US, started to have Traffic System just few years, and is not very updated, rather stick with your good old radio for traffic alerts.

    I'm not a car person myself, so I guess even I went to Japan to make a living (made a 20 day visiting trip once), I wouldn't get a car.

    I mean, it's really convenient to have one, but what's trully great on Japan is: You don't have to.
    Also, Danny, congrats for getting used to driving there... seems so damn confusing to me. o_O

    I'd probably have to walk more depending on where I go, but it's not like there's no way to reach certain places if I don't have a car... which happens a lot here in Brazil.

    I did get scared of loosing the last metro/trains in Tokyo late at night though. :P

    Anyways, I don't even have to say GPS/Navi system in Japan is light years ahead Brazil.

    To have GPS navigation system in Brazil, not only you have to pay/install it yourself, but also you only get the basic basic stuff... if you live in a big city.

    If you don't live in a big city, odds are there's not even an up to date map to use.

    I've heard lots of GPS related accidents involving truck drivers that relied too much on GPS...

    Danny! You got a Nissan 350Z???!! Gosh.. That's a nice car. You must really rich! (:

    How much did it cost in Japan? It's quite a luxury car in Singapore. It will set you back SGD164,000 (USD120,190.55) inclusive of your Certificate of Entitlement and Road Tax. Just wondering, how much does it cost in other countries?

    And looking at the previous comments, you guys must be either working adults, really rich kids, or the cars must be really cheap in your country! To own a car in Singapore is like 'wow'. Nobody gets a car for his 16th birthday! It's madness.

    But my Japan based Singapore tour guide said cars in Japan are cheap but the parking fees, toll charges, road tax + all the other misc fees are very expensive.

    I have been driving for a long time now but I haven't used car navigation before. But the one you are reviewing looks and sound awesome and seems to be very useful:)
    What I have used is my Nokia's built-in gps and maps to find a place when walking one time. The Nokia Maps app was more useful than I was expecting.

    That looks totally awesome!!!! Don't know if we have the same technology here in the U.S., but I would definitely buy it just for how cool it looks!!! ^_^

    Japanese gadget integration rocks. I make do with a chunky thing suckered to the windscreen. But it does it's job well and it was cheap - good value for money (Navman).

    350Z is a nice car indeed, but I'm sticking to my MX5 ^^

    I'm gonna have get my license end of this year. Sine my birthday is ultimately 31st Dec, I'm slower then my friends by ONE YEAR lol.

    The GPS system looks very interesting. Sophisticated devices like tat I has not touch any ^^; The only "back camera" I saw must be when my dad stole company's Alphard. We were so lost on how to use that thing. All in Japanese xD

    Now all we need is Miku directing us in the GPS system.....

    And are you serious bout the Nissan Fairlady? haha

    i'll come out and say it: I don't like GPS navi units

    i've had bad experience with too many other drivers. As far as i can tell, GPS untis don't tell you which lane to get in. What has happened to me far too often is that there would be a driver who needs to get off the exit but is in the 3rd lane. When they realise that their GPS tells them to get off to the exit, they do a massive 'emergency' lane change and swipe cross all 3+1 lanes (1 being the exit). They panic, forget to indicate, forget to check their blind-spots...

    And i'm 1 car-length behind them in the next lane - In their blind spot

    I've seen 1st hand, 4 major accidents where one driver completely slams into the side of another driver and takes them out. And they were all using GPS navi's - It's easy to spot. Bright rectangular display stuck in the middle of their windshield - It's a wonder how they even see out the front of their car

    At first I tot it's kinda expensive even if it's extremely accurate but I guess the bells and whistles on it probably justifies the price tag. Pretty neat.

    Love Nissan Cars...we have been a Nissan family for almost 30 years...but the Dealer Workshops here in California (I have been to many) are staffed by arrogant a-holes.

    Will not buy a Nissan car ever again because of this.

    Hey Danny, here's another car to consider instead of the Z. It's the Nissan Skyline 350GT. Still 2 doors, has the same drivetrain as the Fairlady Z, but super luxurious incluuding Satnav - and best of all it has 4 seats for the family ^^;

    You cab view a clip of the 2005 model here - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6icO-4E1wgw or Google Skyline 350 GT if the link doesn't work.

    As for myself, I drive, and have a little econobox. I use public transit to and from work, but it's not exactly fun... or clean... or on time... so yeah, I much prefer driving when I can.

    Do the head units in Japan with DVD capabilities allow you to watch a video while the vehicle is in motion? All units sold in the US do not allow this. Defeating this "feature" is illegal, as well.

    I don't travel with a GPS (it's rare that I drive outside of my usual area). Though, when I do, I can sign up for a short-term subscription for Verizon Wireless VZNav service. It puts GPS right on my mobile phone/smart phone/PDA phone. It's a perfect solution. I only need it if I travel and it's cheaper than renting one from the car rental agency.

    Very good stuff. I currently have a Nissan Lafesta, and if you are going to get the Fairlady new, opt for CARWINGS. I did. It's cool cause you can have them settle for you the fastest and congestion-free route, cause it knows real time traffic conditions. Plus, you can have the reverse camera installed to work with it.

    Could be really useful in a large city like Tokyo, but over here paper maps are more than enough, and 200.000 yen is a bit too much to spend on such things, and I don't think my car, a 20 year old Daihatsu Applause worths that much anyway. ^^
