benny_blanco, doesn't hurt but what a pain in the arse, remove fuelpump fuse, cas plug or whatever and that's just as good. unless you want to pull kickpanel on and off and undo a 10mmbolt holding the loom in the computer and risk damaging the loom rippin it in and out..hehe...

if your car is near where u sleep at night have and alarm that makes a sound when u open the locks of the car and dont worry if your asleep your body will hear that and dont worry you WILL wake up, its a subconcious thing happens many times when my dad needs to move it while im sleeping i always wake up for a sec when i hear the sound

Don't do what Donny don't does.

hey what did donny do?

btw, add a couple more things to add to that list...

1, investigate microdotting parts off your car (you can now apply the stuff yourself and register your details online)

2, security etching on your windows (last time i remembered it was around $50 from raa)

They won't prevent your car being nicked, but a professional thief might move onto the next car if he sees your car is etched.

Another option.. DIY Ghetto Style GPS tracking.

If you've got a GPS enabled phone already which you don't mind stashing in your car.. then just go directly to the site http://www.mologogo.com/ - time for me to go hunting on ebay for a el cheapo phone.

If someones in my house to steal my ride they wont be leaving it either.. maybe in a body bag.. I dont care wat anyone says.. Breakin into someones house in the night while they are in the house is asking for confrontation.

Another ridiculously inexpensive tracking system.. using an old phone as a cellular tracking device.

Now this is a fkn great idea, SOOOO easy too. I'm gonna hit the local jaycar and get a box to mount it in so it looks like another computer in the car... could mount it anywhere :rofl:

It's pretty clever hey.. does anyone know where we can get non-expiring pre-paid sim cards?? you know the ones where call credits don't run out and your card doesn't get disconnected after period of non-use.

    • 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"
