I'm Cruise Daddy to you Steve :lol: and on the note of next organized cruise, don't forget there is an ENTIRE month between now and the BBQ? Most of us would get a little bored. (just a little)

MAR55S Get with the times :P

Great night guys, nice to meet a few more peeps

On the way home at chatswood just after Liz and Rukus turned off there was a massive accident on the Pacific highway - looked like a car crossed the median strip into on coming traffic

That was there yesterday afternoon if it was just before the turn off onto the free way..

A toyota camry had gone over the median strip.. into the fence.. hmm.. must've blacked out..

HOW COULD I MISS THIS DAMN THREAD!!.. I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO!!..

far out - i've goto join members.. anyways.. it's all good - got my stereo installed today so that makes up for missing it..

Bit of a wait for the next one! Considering I was unable to attend this one, I will sure be keen to do one a little sooner! Even this weekend, although I can understand that not too many people will be keen due to just doing a cruise and DD! :(

I'd love to organise a cruise but to be honest I don't think I have been on enough to actually organise one! For starters, I wouldn't know where to go! I have only done an observation cruise, xmas cruise, not long ago.

I need a little more experience in cruising, getting ideas on where people go as well as getting to know more of the SAU crew! I have regretted not being available for previous cruises but will endeavour to be available for future cruises!!

Ok, Drift King is organizing the next one :P  It needs to fall at a time between now and the BBQ; preferably when I'm a bit more sober as well :D

aaaaalll about you isn't it Stanley :)

I don't get the "get with the times" thing.... i've been working.. now the silly season is over so i'll be around more.

It's always about me.... :lol: Me me me! So next time it can be about someone else; someone else please organize something!!!

Silly season over? When did it end? :lol:

yeah i've almost forgotten who you are!

Satanic, dont take this the wrong way, but i havent heard the best feedback from your cruises, so the name of cruise wore i would disagree,

Thats just what ive been hearing , no names?

You would disagree? Good for you...

It is really funny that you would say something like that considering all you've done is "heard"; have you actually "been"?

Maybe next time you can come along and make up your own mind because from what I can say and from what the last 3 pages have pretty much said; the feedback is good!

Satanic i havent heard, ive been and seen, funny that the 3 last pages are the guys you always go with on every cruise, but what a surprise no new ppl turn up? Im not having a go at you, but if you want to i have no problems with that, just letting you know what others are saying, so maybe take that into consideration and think a lil, as for your videos dont think to much of them either?

Once again, dont get upset because someones tryn to tell you something and next time i see you ill tell you straight?

I still don't see what your problem is Gtr Glafche... if you don't like them, then just don't rock up. Most if not all of the meets are completely random and last minute anyway so excuse me if they lack a bit of organization - feel free to organize something "better".

That is all...

satanic, im not having a go at you, im just giving u feedback right, i have attended your cruise, its 50/50, if you want me to organise a cruise, youll be expectng 300hp plus cars, having fun and doing what we do. all im saying you and your mates on the forum think you guys are the shit, thats all im saying, when theres another crusie ill tell you bout it, and if i see you ill tell you bout it also.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
