Anyone suggest a good battery for me? I herd Pulse can be good? I am not going to replace this battery. I need dad to call sometime so I can ask him where the battery charger is in the lockup so i can take the battery out and charge it (on that note doesnt charging require a ground? how can you aquire a metal grounding when you charge from one of those Socket chargers off the wall?)

:) Was going to pickup tight arse tuesday fuel to. :yes:

check your light in the boot goes off properly when you shut the boot

that's what drains my battery.

I shut the boot, the light goes off but if i go over a bump, the light comes on again and drains the battery when i leave it a few days.

My battery is almost dead.. then again I haven't started the car for like 3 weeks.. eep!

You can buy awesome battery charger kits that you can just plug and play. I have one for my bike.

Even switches off one the battery is full.

Go to supercheap and get one of those $30 solar panel chargers, they work awesome, and they work under flouro's (in carparks). They have a cigi plug on them but most cars the cigi lighter is disabled when the car is off so you either need to hard wire it or get a cigi female plug with allitators on it. I had battery problems when i went away for long periods, but this fixed it.

Is jumpering an option? It'll save you the waiting time. That's what I do pretty often and the cables I bought from Woolies for $11 I think they were. I also have a trickle charger and it doesn't need a ground. Steve you are right about QT, I get that too.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
