Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone can assist in my query. 2 weeks ago I left my car outside a friends place because I had to catch a Taxi home due to my intoxicated state.

Anyway midday the next day I went and collected my car. it was a stinker of a day and the car was getting a beating from the sun all day.

I started the car, plugged in the iPhone and opened the factory screen, the sexy lass living in my dash politely told me something and the screen went black. I started again by closing the screen and opened it again, and she repeated her phrase and the screen remained off. I repeated this on my drive home and kept watching the outside temperature reading drop.

When the temp dropped to 36 degrees The Dash lady said something different and my screen came to life.

Does anyone know if theres some sort of temperature cut out or something that would have caused this.

Not a big deal but thought it was very strange! These cars are full of mystery arent they!

cheers

Exact same thing happened to mine once. Got a bit worried but everything was normal after that. It was extremely hot that day. Shouldn't be too worried about it.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this happened to me today. It got up around 35 degrees, car was left outside work, no shade whatsoever. Couldn't really understand what the chick living in my screen was saying :action-smiley-069:

I started the car, windows down, aircon on full for around 5 mins then shut it off, turned it back on and voila! it works! Still curious as to what the issue is. Anyone know what she's saying?

Hi Tarun,

My car was at Perth Festival Of Speed yesterday from 8:30am - 4:00pm as part of my car club stand. It was in a middle of large clear-out area with no trees, no shades, etc. and it was 46 degrees at noon. Luckily, nothing happened like you mentioned above. But it had happened occasionally with a few owners already, so there must be something that bothers the way the car system runs when it is parked in a really hot area.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
