Hey guys,

Whats the deal with the tradng cars thing? I cant work out how/when to do it.

cheers

Its simple, ,all you do is select the car, then select the give to friend option, and you can use the usb method if you want to keep the car as well.

So it loads the car onto the USB then plug into another PS3...or different user....too bad no-one close to me plays GT5 lol

is it just a straight give away or is there cashola involved?

....I'm such a noob lol

  • Like 1

nope

you give the car as a gift

they can send something back if they like, or they can not :P

the usb method is when:

copy your save onto a usb

gift car

delete save on ps3

copy save off usb to ps3

still have old car you gifted away :P

but now you cant gift cars over 1mil credits......

You copy your game to a usb, then you send the car, then you copy from your usb and it overwrites the save on the console then you have sent a car and you still have it, and no there is no cash involved unless you are dealing with people selling X1's on ebay.

Also the 1 million cap has been lifted for now.

This step isn't really needed and potentially could lose everything for you, just copy from your usb it will overwrite.thumbsup.gif

has anyone managed to win the X2010 via the seb vettel challenge yet?

i swear to god i cant even finish the first lap on the first track. yet alone do two laps and get gold doing it?! jesustittyfckingchrist its hard and i've aced almost every other challenge on gold

Edited by jonboy

yeah when i first tried it a month or two ago i think i managed to finish once but missed by about the same as you. at the time i blamed the fact that my tv was a pathetic 26" and i was sitting a half mile away from it so my ability to see things was questionable at the best of times. so the other day i bought a 40" tv for my room and i sit about 3 feet from it lol so seeing things now is not the issue. but alas, has not made a difference in my (in)ability to dominate the seb vettel challenge

Edited by jonboy

^^^ you guys read my mind....only given it a few goes, but (esp with my wrist in a brace) got no where...dam that car is nuts. only finished the first one once...and that was 3 seconds off bronze. i know i can do better...but not the 2:09 you need for gold. even the demo you can watch falls short of gold.

not gonna frustrate myself further with it till i have full movement of both hands.......

    • 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"
