Hey Everyone,
My name is Frank form Motorvate's DIY Garage.
I've spent the last 4 years reverse engineering the CAN bus on the FM/PM platform.
The last 2 years have been spent focused on the GTR Gauges and I've had good success:
I have the GTR gauges running on my 2011, 6 speed manual G37 sedan.
I know the CBA/DBA GTR's don't have the most reliable nav/audio system. Funny thing is, many Nissan/Infiniti vehicles use the exact same unit, known as the "08IT"
It may be possible to take a used nav/audio unit from an Altima or Murano and reconfigure it using a USB cable to be for a GTR. Don't think so... read on!
The nav/audio unit in my G37 is from a 2013 Murano. I reconfigured it with a $4 USB A to A cable, to change the start up animation from Nissan to Infiniti, and set the vehicle type to GTR to enable the GTR gauges. Oh, by the way, that nav/audio unit was $60 US shipped to my door. No GTR tax here!
Anyways, my goal is to try to help out the 2011- 2016 GTR owners as we have the same nav/audio unit.
On a different note, I just made/programmed a CAN bus module that enables the tach and coolant gauge to work in a 03 350 swapped VQ37VHR.
So... if you have any CAN bus questions, I'll do my best to answer.
