Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a car for my little brother as his birthday is around the corner (nothing flashy just A to B) and i'm not sure what is the legal age to register a car in VIC. I pretty sure its 17 plus but i couldn't find anything on VIC ROADS.

Does anyone have the facts behind this?

Requirements to register a light vehicle

The registration requirements for a light vehicle are:

* you must be over 17 years of age to register a car or truck or 17 years and 9 months of age for a motorcycle or motor trike

* you can only register a vehicle in the name of a person or incorporated body (see: Who can register a vehicle)

* you must attend an appointment at VicRoads

* you may need to attend a vehicle inspection at VicRoads (if the vehicle has previously been registered in your name and the vehicle details have not changed, you do not need to attend a vehicle inspection)

* you must pay registration and number plate fees.

Make an appointment

To make a registration appointment:

* call us on 13 11 71 (Visa or MasterCard payments only)

* visit a VicRoads Customer Service Centre (cash, cheque, EFTPOS, Visa or MasterCard)

When making an appointment you will need to tell us the:

* vehicle identification number (VIN)

* engine number

* registration plate number (if applicable)

The appointment and vehicle inspection

The safest way to legally drive an unregistered vehicle to your appointment is with an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP).

What to bring to the appointment

* the vehicle (if an inspection is required)

* evidence of identity

* evidence of ownership (contract of sale/receipt showing the VIN; engine number; name, address and signature of previous owner; name and address of the new owner). A transfer of registration document is not accepted.

* a current Certificate of Roadworthiness

* if someone else is attending the appointment on your behalf, they will need a signed letter of authority from you that quotes your Victorian licence number.

      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.
