But do you put your P plates up?

i dont get why half of you guys are attacking the boy. tis a stupid law and it comes down to how you control it and it seems he's been doing fine.

good work with getting away with it until now, how long where u driving around with it for?

You want some bullet holes in your Stag TJ? Don't push me boy...you don't know who I know from the Internets.

excuse me?

Did you lose your sense of humor at the same time you lost your f**king mind?

Threaten me with guns and bullets over a on going joke about e-thug? Take a step back and think before you post that kind of shit again.

Maybe he meant speed holes......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm speed holes, my car has heaps of them :(

Are you sure he put in the claim himself / it wasn't in his parent's name? It just sounds hard to believe that insurance companies, somewhat reputable for trying to get out of claims, should process a claim with no attention paid to driver status...I wouldn't risk it myself because they had every legal right to refuse a payout on that claim. Shame he didn't get to learn his lesson.

It might of been in his parents name.... but I doubt it as he took out the loans n shit to buy the car, but I'm not 100% sure. Although when he totalled his car, cops were there in seconds and ambos, so they knew he was driving it...

Hmm... what i dont get is why the RTA let P plater's register turbo cars under their names when they know we cant drive them?? Beats me....

IMO !!! if the LAW really did not want "P-Platers" to drive around in turbo cars.... THEN WHY THE @#$$ LET US REGISTER IT UNDER OUR NAMES !!!

So when they pull you over they get extra revenue because you shouldn't be driving it.. DUH :(

I don't know if you have noticed or not but every government is a business, they don't give a f**k about the people living in the country.

hmmm... i understand they dont give a f**k about the people.... but i mean come on man why set such a strict law then go ahead and let them register turbo cars? i dont think its right and im surprised no one has protested....

I think if they had done that there would be a LOT less p platers driving around in turbo cars...

+1, driving around with no insurance is just stupid.

Also when you pay for your road rego what does the 3rd party thing on that mean? Does it mean that they assume you have gotten 3rd party insurance when you pay for the road rego?

The 3rd party insurance premium on your registration covers personal injury to others/yourself in the event of an accident. It also covers damage to state/council owned property, e.g. roads and signs. But it doesn't cover privately owned property, e.g. cars and buildings.

LOL it took a couple of SMS to work this one out. All cool now though...I concede I forgot to add in the "lols" at the end of my comment to suggest it was a joke :(

Again, for the record people, the e-thug sounding post was a joke...I'm not an e-thug lol.

Like i said, it's for the cash. Why would they not let you register it? Knowing well and truly young males are genuinely stubborn and will go out and buy and drive one anyway? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Again, for the record people, the e-thug sounding post was a joke...I'm not an e-thug lol.

Whatever helps you sleep at night 2pac :(

LOL 2PAC.....

Ok Topher fair enough i can see where your coming from... but for f#$$ sake can you see where im coming from? damn this government..... and damn the p platers who ruined it for us sensible ones

Because it's not illegal to have a high powered car registered under your name on your P plates. It is illegal to drive it though. You can pay all the bills for the car and have your 50 year old father driving the car legally.

Also, insurance will happily insure your vehicle...they're "assuming" you're not going to drive it. You'll be covered for theft, or a nominated full licence driver, and that's it. If you make a claim based on you actually driving and smashing the thing then you will be very lucky if they payout on the claim.

yeah just call birds an e-thug and he will get his facebook warrior's on to you

I don't need facebook warriors, I've got a whole garage full of e-guns on Counter-Strike.

I knew you were joking... I was like "Whoa" when TJ replied but sarcasm and text don't mix so heh. So glad you guys kissed and made up :)

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
