  1. Hi, First I am trying to understand if the cruise control comes pre installed in my car. In american cars apparently is pre installed, so just installing the SWC should do the job if you want to add CC. In EU cars looks like there's a difference in the ECU type, so not sure if I can install Cruise Control on mine by just adding the steering wheel controls ( I read in a Navara forum that it was possible but it sounded too easy to be true...). Next step is to find how big a job it is to change the ECU, but I think this will be too much, with programming and everything, so no budget for that... Installing a Android unit is on the way, ATM waiting for unit to be delivered and will let you guys know how it goes, with pics and everything. My colleague has it installed in his Tiguan and it looks and feels very good, it is German made so it looks quality... Need to add a reverse camera and maybe some parking sensors, here in Switzerland parking spots are so tight it's unbelievable and with the other half driving the car sometimes, really need that. I will try to reset the fuel pump(http://pcoa.org.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3705) and check if it improves fuel economy. The rest is just driving it up the mountains everyday, I am lucky my job takes me to beautiful places and the scenery here in Switzerland is amazing.
  2. Hi guys! Great just to start talking to somebody, I feel that, once you get the ball rolling, then is just a matter of time before people start finding answers to problems. For my part, I use the search a lot in the forums but some specific problems don't get answered. Like some of you said, the R51 is a young baby... I found some answers in other forums but a bit confusing, so it would be nice to know for sure before trying anything... Anyway, thank you for the support! KR, Luis
  3. Hi 5523Pathfinder! Thank you for your reply. Will follow your advise and see the outcome of it! If doable, I will make a step-by-step for aother people looking to do the same thing. KR, Luis
  4. Hi everyone! What do you need to do to atract attention in forums and get the people to help you with your doubts? I recently bought a Pathfinder and was really enthusiastic about joining all the forums about it and getting to know a little bit more about her, as well as knowing people that have the same interest and are willing to share info to those, as me, don't know nothing but are eager to learn! As I wanted to try to start playing with adding stuff to the PAth straight way, I posted a question in the first day, looking forward to the answers and where to buy the parts and all. Keep looking every day, so far, not even a " I don't know but maybe know somebody that knows..." or " you can try this..."... No interest at all! Starting to think that you need to have a special badge or tag, or a lucky star shinning on you to have people looking at your posts in these forums. I will keep visiting and when I do something I will post a step-by-step (will install new android unit + reverse camera + parking sensors very soon). Please, to the ones that know stuff, look at us, new guys on the block, as sponges, share your knowledge, let us know and maybe we can add something to it and come up with something great! Thank you and keep sharing! Luis
  5. Hi guys! Just bought a 2007 Pathfinder dCi 2.5 and it doesn't come with cruise control. I've read in some forum that this comes pre installed, with all the wiring being in place, would only need to had switches for brake and clutch and steering wheel controls. Do any of you guys have more info about this topic? I would love to have a go, but need to know it can be done before buying any parts... Thank you!
  6. Hi everybody! I just bought a 2007 Pathfinder, diesel 2.5, and it doesn't come with cruise control or steering wheel controls. I found in ebay steeering wheel OEM control units and was thinking in getting one. Is it just a straight swap or you need anything else to get cruise control working in my Pathfinder? Also looking to install a aftermarket android head unit. Will the steering wheel controls work with these units? I am sorry if this is a repeat question but searched everywhere and could not find a straight answer. Looking forward to learn a lot from you guys about my pathfinder, she will be going in a lot of the mountains here in Switzerland! Is there a place where we can post pictures? I can post some amazing pictures, the scenery here is breathtaking! Looking forward to your answers! Thank you! Luis
