It was a rhetorical statement... The actual junkyards near me are next to useless.. there's always the mother of all junkyards... eBay😁

Well, we got it to work. You need a 100-120ohm resistor between AV Comm Low and High and then the buttons will function. Next steps, figure out serial, unlock the drive, and maybe see if those GT-R menus can be unlocked.

Any more info on how you unlocked those menus? Did you manage to get UART working on the AV unit? If so, can you share any more details?
I have a US unit hard drive in hand now, I just need to unlock it and create and image. more details on how you managed to do this would be great

Eh, I haven't made much progress. Hopefully he can share some more info with us. I have to get an IDE cable... i threw mine all out like an idiot, then I can try unlocking the drive. Pretty sure we need serial access to unlock those menus though.

If someone has the update on their drive maybe they can clone it for you.
Can you share any info on how you unlocked the GT-R MFD screens?

research is not finished yet
turning it on is not difficult, it is difficult to bind it to a button
all you need - console
