No not yet, I did manage to get hold of ChipIT though, their Sydney branch went out, Perth just have a thing about not returning calls, emails, carrier pigeons etc. Shame for them as they have lost at least 4 of my mates cars as result of that.

Just on 23000k on mine. Still going like dream. Fuel use around 9 on hwy and 10/11 around town. Goes in Monday to have rust repaired from the hard lid hinge bracket holes when I fitted a canopy. Talk about a long drawn out saga, started before xmas but at last Nissan has agreed to fix it.

Got this direct from Kilsyth.
Hi, ordered my STX 550 earlier this week, due for delivery next Friday or early the following week. Getting a 28" fifth wheeler built so needed a ute with plenty of grunt.
A couple of questions.
Is it possible to connect the vans reverse camera into the display on the dash?
Has anybody fitted a rolling hard tonneau to a Navara, interested in hearing the pros and cons. Can't use a hard tonneau because of the fifth wheeler and the misses wants the tray secure so a standard tonneau is out of the question.

I've not heard of a rolling cover, but that might solve the problem when the 5th wheeler isn't attached.
The reversing camera COULD be wired in, as long as the dash unit accepts input from it. You may need to power the camera too, so you'll have to find out if they do that or you'll need to do that - normally you'd supply camera power from the reversing lights and have the dash unit automatically switch to that camera when it comes on.
The camera does need to be compatible with the dash unit - I'm not sure how flexible the units are in terms of camera types, but you could quite easily have an additional socket near the tow hitch that the camera cable plugs in to and run that up to the dash.

I have a ebay indash gps,dvd,reverse camera unit in mine, I have hooked up a 2nd camera for the caravan as it has av inputs, I run the power for the camera from the number plate light on the van, I have a toggle switch in the cab so I can switch between the two cameras. I run the av cable from the van camera to a av jack on the towbar beside a anderson plug that also chargers the van battery.

I have been looking for a while which one did you buy and does it work OK? Main thing I am interested in is if the bluetooth and steering wheel buttons work.
Thanks,
Mike

this is the one I brought http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/v...cmd=VIDESC&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=88194249849
The bluetooth worked with the steering wheel control but when I made or received a call I had to adjust the volume, it also comes with a demo ozi explorer I had the maps so just loaded them on. I have had the unit for 12months still waiting for the first free update. It is a good unit & found Matt from dig options was good to deal with & prompt to answer my questions by either phone or email.
Lyle
I am actually interested in finding if anybody with the Nissan in dash GPS/Reverse camera has been able to connect a second or more cameras.
The rolling shutter tonneaus I am looking at are either one from Quig.com.au or a South African one sold through Blueys Ute World. These are similar to the one Ford uses as standard on the Ranger Wildtrak.

Your ARB bash plates, did they have to modify them to fit the 550 or did they just bolt straight up, do they cover front through to gearbox? I have asked our local ARB and they said they didn't have anything for the stx 550 and if you don't mind me asking how much did they cost?
Cheers Lyle

G'day Hunter,
They don't look like they've been modified, but I can't be certain. They do cover all the way through. It looks like the hole for the sump plug is in the wrong position - meaning the plates have to be removed when dropping the oil. As for the cost - lets just say I got the biggest discount you can get! (ARB have been using my 550 as a template for various things i.e. Bullbar etc.)
cheers
Jase.

Mate I towed a 2ton van from rockhampton to darwin last year I towed in 5th gear sat on 95km gps tried 6 &7th but found 5th gear to be best for fuel economy +5th gear is the strongest 1 on 1ratio, got between 16.8 to 18.9lts / 100km, also because of a few extra revs the auto didn't change down gears on hills and had no issues with passing.
cheers Lyle
