As per above, I'd just like to get a quick idea on who's done the rear seat removal. I'm getting my rear seat re-trimmed to match my fronts, so I need to remove the bench and backrests to leave with the trimmer.

Is there anything in particular I need to worry about? Are the cables (or whatever) in the luggage area easy to remove and re-install later?

With the door trims, who's replaced the material in the centre of the door cards (I know BITSUS Nigel has done it, anyone else)? I'll eventually have these re-done as well, so I might as well have as much information as possible ready to go for when I need it. I've had the door cards off before when I replaced my speakers, but never actually looked at how the panel holding the fabric is attached...

Thanks in advance!

You can remove the wire for the seat fold down from the side of the seats, there is a little clip on the side, pretty easy.

No idea about the door trims sorry.

Door trims are peice of cake... from memory all you need to do is remove the cover from around the door handle then theres a couple of screws... then the window switch just clips out from the door trim and then you just gently pull around the edges to release the clips, lift it up out of the window and its off!

(edit) sorry just realised you only meant the door cards...

Just checked a door trim I had sitting around, the entire trim is one molded piece it seems. Fabric is glued on and pushed into a 1/2 inch groove around the edges at the extremity of the fabric trim.

harts.

just make sure you have a pair of needle-nose pliers handy when you put the rear seat back in: the reclining mechanismhas a little hook on a spring that rectracts a fair way, and can be a little tricky to get out. Otherwise, it's about 5 bolts from memory: mine came out easy, but the guy who bought my interior needed a heap of leverage to grck the top centre bolt...

Overall, it's a pretty easy process: 5 mins to remove, and probably around 10 mins to put it back in.

Cool, thanks for all the replies, gents!

Seat should be getting removed on Sunday arvo, if all goes to plan. I'll be taking some before and after shots too.

My C34 was pretty quick with 320awkw - yours should really shift with 388 and should be fun on the track with over 400!

      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.
