Zennon, thats an awesome picture! Bit dark though, but thats just my opinion.

Yeah think you're right actually - it looked fine at home but then when I saw it on my work pc is was like :)

(then realised it was because I had played with my gamma and brightness at home so i can see the bloody counter strike campers :) )

OT

what do you think of the innov8? im tossing up that or an ultra touch.. my nokia N85 is rubbish never again!

the innov8 was barely sold here. Mine was bought overseas from ebay. Very hard to find one here and hence running overseas firmware (couldnt find australian firmaware) It doesnt affect the functionality of the phone but.

Depends what you are after on a phone.

The innov8 has wifi and runs on symbian OS (same operating system as the new gen nokia's, so there are many applications you can run. After you crack the phone there are a lot of apps to download. Ive got about 3 different GPS programs and 2 different office suite apps) also has 8gb or 16gb internal memory.

Also the middle button on the innov8 is infra-red sensor, so you slide your thumb over it to move the cursor when browsing websites etc. Think of it as a mini touch pad on laptops. Although its much more sensitive as its a small pad.

Quickly reading about the ultra touch, they are touch screen but dont have wifi or big internal memory. however they are very small phone.

sweet ill go grab a 16gb one then, my only prob with internal mem phones is if you drop it in water you cant easily remove the mem card to download your data, just means more frequent backuping....

The i8510 does have a memory card slot, so you can get a 8gb internal and then buy a 8gb card if you want.

first attempt at some panning shots.. lots of practice needed... and a decent lens for it, was using the 50mm for these ones. I think.. might have been the stock lens too..

what noticable difference does the lens make when panning?

yeah I know you can do it with any lens, but with the 50mm it was hard to get the whole car in focus, it usually focused on the rear or the door or the front but not the whole thing

don't use it wide open then?

don't use it wide open then?

he was using f22.

i dont think you did to bad considering they were taken at 1/40th of a second. maybe start at 100th and work your way down from there. although im no pro so take that with a grain of salt.

    • 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"
