So since I live in Brissy now and mum was on holidays a bunch of entrepreneurs had obviously cased out my house for a five finger discount.

They must've been purely opportunistic as they only stole from the garage and didn't break into the actual house.

Items missing:

17" Work VS-XX

Custom wider outer bands for VS-XX rims

Rolling toolbox and an assortment of Wurth tools

Lawnmower

US Audio home entertainment system

GMC Bench saw

Fruit n vege trolley

I box full of audio cables

Seriously... whoever grabbed the stuff is a complete idiot... or a crackhead of some sort looking for a quick buck. I mean... who steals a frikken shopping basket trolley thing?

Not really pissed that the stuff's gone, cos insurance is giving me back more than the value of the items :blink: But if anyone comes across any 17" VS-XX's for sale around the dandenong area or surrounding burbs... or more obviously the custom machined bands, please let me know, I'd like to "talk" to the seller.

The wheels look like this...

They were wrapped in factory work covers and had boxes with the "Work" logo on 3 of them.

yeah not pissed about the loss... more pissed that they upset my poor mum. Ah well... metal fence is gettin put up this week and I've just ordered an 8 point house alarm which will call me and 2 other people if someone tries to break in again.

Me and my mates just wanna find the amatures that took the stuff for shits n giggles.

And yeah I was stressed cos I thought they might have taken my light up panel, but its still there. The rest of the gear is all replaceable.

the rims were 7" +22 all around. the bands were machined up to make them 10.5" -22 at the back and 9.5" -10 in the front. I doubt they'd have put them on the wheels though.

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
