Ok peoples... this happened like 2 mins ago, im ever so proud :devil:

I was trying to sleep as one does at 1;45am.. and we heard glass brake so my parents run outside and notice the window of there car is smashed and the glovebox is ripped open.... My mom saw the one guy he was wearing a black jacket and a black cap.

I quickly decided to drive round the area and see if i can find em, and finaly enough i see a guy fitting the discription snooping around cars 1km away from my house on malvern rd in armadale. The guy quickly jumped in his car and sped off when he noticed i was watching. i followed in the mighty skyline :w00t: you could tell he was dodgy, when he relised i was following him he kept changing his direction indicating left and then turning right etc.... Then i notice the cops drive past him on the way to my house so i try to flag em down and get them to do a uturn and chase after them, which didnt quite work.

I gave the cops his rego and (surprise surprise) the owner of the car has 2 prior car theft charges !!!!! :O

Police are on there way now to pickup the little fella :)

Case closed !!

Dectective justin strikes again :) no reward for me though.... :D

BTW if anyone ever see's a blue Rodeo pickup truck, rego WOT-004 be sure to return the favour and smash in his window / go through the glovebox :)

Aparantly someone with a CLK up the road at around the same time, also had there window broken and all the wiring under the dash is all hacked up.

My moms just got a crapy astra convertible... now im no brain surgeon :devil: but if you wanted to brake into a convertible wouldnt you just cut the soft roof material stuff ????

Yes, because car manufacturers use bolt cotton for their soft tops...

wait, no they don't. Try and cut it (on a wreck). A window would be quicker.

Guys like this are the reason I hate parking on the streets... Good work, Detective Justin...

(cue voice over...)

If theres ever trouble, just call justin911.

justin911. For all your private investication needs

i live inbetween 2 police stations :wave: malvern station is like 1km down the road, and glenferrie is 1km up the road..

Unfortunatly though i doubt anything will happen to the guy... he had been caught stealing cars on 2 seperate occasions previously and he's still roaming around :(

Also well done to the Cops as well for their promt respond.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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"
