Sad to hear, hope everything turn out to be alright.

Wasn't there a case happened here in Melb, some guys lost their car and 6months later found what looks like their car's parts being sold on the trading post?

They came around with Under cover cops, pretended to buy the parts and turned out to be they were actually their car's parts and so these Middle East guys got caught.

This is such a well ORGANISED crime, if they ever happened to get away from what they just did, chance is we wont' even see the parts in Aust anymore, definately be over sea. If you think its hard to ship 6, 7 cars out of the country, think twice because remember how a Koren Ship sliped through, enter our water, got to Geelong without notice while trying to off load Heroin?

Anyway, just my thought.

Complete Bullshit!!!!!!

Disgusts me how someone can take a car like that have... Although the fact of the system being down indicates either someone inside or some serious organised professional to pull of a job like that..

as someone said all the work and time spent on making the cars what they were can never be replaced...

Hope they find the cars and not too much damage is done...

:S. i think alarms will be headed to GPS monitoring soon.

They have been for many years mate.

It costs less than 1k per year. Few mates of mine use it... and have as long as i've known them now, easily 4 years.

Theres more likely a snitch, one of the employees, or maybe a customer who really likes to hang out there alot. No pointing fingers though, just a hunch. Really feel sorry for the people whos cars where stolen, what i dont get though wasnt there any cameras in the workshop? or atleast alarm system?

We have them in our cars, the only on-going cost $9 per month for the sim-card, the other one no cost unless calls are made .

It uses GPS to lacate the car and GSM to call you, if it moves, someone opens the door, starts it , cuts the main battery or even low battery ( bellow a pre set volt value).

Much better system that QT as it has unlimited cover as long as it is above ground ..

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
