didnt someone rip an image of the drive here?

I agree that getting to the hard drive to write the image is going to be a pain though.

They offer the service as well, but not sure if you need to be local, etc

Nissan GT-R Sensors


Options for the provision of services:
- At our dealers
- Remotely
- Substitution of equipmentNissan / Infiniti 2003-2017 - the organization and conclusion of telemetry based on the Nissan GTR for regular on-board computers Nissan Connect Premium 08it.

The specialists of our company successfully managed to add telemetry from the sports legend Nissan GTR R35 !!

Now every Nisaan / Infiniti owner will be able to get readings like a sports car.

The amount of information and its processing depends on the installed sensors in the car.

If necessary, we are ready to help with the conclusion of the necessary information, subject to the availability of equipment in the car. (e.g. turbines).

The menu is activated by pressing the key 6. Control both from the steering wheel buttons, the control console, and touch from the screen.

Each owner, at his discretion, can combine and display the information he needs.

LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!
I'm interested in learning more about this.

Bull, a guy in Russia has successfully unlocked the AV head unit. He is running the stock GTR interface in his, of all things, Murano (link) (method).

I'm looking into this, but my laptop is "too new" so I am unable to remove the password on the HDD. Still, when there's a will... I will find a way...

What is the interface and what is the process for removing the password? Is it IDE?

The HDD's are IDE and unless you have a older laptop or a tower PC, options to remove the password is limited.

From what I gather, all Nissan headunits are the same unit. The "method" link above shows how to access the configuration files and make changes.

Once I get this password "zapped" I can then clone the HDD to a SSD. Then take the HDD and play with different configurations on my bench test unit.

Will not work. Tried everything. Those USB things don't work - at least not for me.

Everything I've read says that the HDD must be plugged into the motherboard, then you run the zu.exe, and voila. Then, you can use the USB adapter to access the drive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have piles of old hardware laying around, I may have something with IDE still. Will check.

Also another option, connect the USB IDE adapter and attach it to a VM, boot FreeDOS in a VM and unlock the drive.

Edit, i just checked and I have an old tower with IDE. Worst case you can send me the drive if you want and i'll give it a shot.

I've used something like this to recently access an ide drive. Surprisingly this adapter works both ways.

Amazon Amazon


Actually, this probably won't work, notebook ide drives use a different pinout than 3.5" ide's.

You can get adapters for notebook IDE to regular IDE... pretty sure I have one somewhere. But USB devices may not be recognized at all by FreeDOS.

Hmm. I have a circa 2004 Motion Computing M1400- that should have an IDE HDD. I think I have an older Lenovo in the closet too.
