yeah ive rang westfield asking to speak to security but they are giving me the run around and shit.. I'll go down tomorrow and talk to security, the good thing is that there's only one entrance/exit open that late at night. no idea why it should be open at that time. they also said they have video cameras of "most" of the entrances/exits.

on another note with insurance im with famous full comp.. i rang around o'briens and a few other glass mobs they said they didnt stock them and would be very hard/expensive to get.. so i went and got one from a wreckers. not sure if i should tell them/ try to claim or something not quite sure any ideas?

Fark dude.. Bloddy idiots seriously!!

Wish they threw themselves off the rooftop afterwards!!

Seriously security is hopeless up there.

All they do is just sit around the corner and bludge..

Doubt there are any cameras at the entrances or exists..

Let us know what they say...

Btw should have gone straight to the miranda police station.. Its up that road..

saw something similar the other week on george st in the city.. somebody had thrown a bottle or something through the back windscreen of an accord euro.. bastards

THat's just silly though.. It's like gridlock there.. just turn off the car and get out and look for the culprit.

easy solution to westfield problems - let them know that u will be contacting today tonight if they dont start getting with it.

or even better if u know a lawyer get them to write a letter and u will have full cooperation - they just need a little kick thats all.

my friend had some issues with them/getting security tapes but after a letter they got onto it.

Similar thing happened a while back on George St. as well. Someone threw a bottle/glass off the top of a bar/hotel and it (luckily) hit the pavement not a car and sent glass flying everywhere... :)

I had the top down, so I was very lucky, :) but the security was there in seconds, bet they got him cause I saw all the people up on the top of the building in a scuffle...

    • 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"
