Im not sure about everyone

but there is something on the road that is starting to really damn annoy me and it must stop

Ill set the scene , I was lying on my couch today half asleep enjoying one of my last days of holidays. The sun was out the birds were making peaceful noises, I had a ice cold bourbon at my side and was in heaven

I then got a very rude awakening by a high pitched dull monotonous tune!

YES IT WAS THE evil mr whippy , for the Fifth FUc*ing time this week!

driving slowly up and down my street in a 1950's ice cream truck painted pink!

Does anyone else have to contend with this sort of menace, what do you suggest I should do , take out a restraining order against mr whippy???

your advice would be appreciated

i love the sound of Mr Whippy coming down the street reminds me of being a kid again ...... when i was little i used to get so excited over that sound and started concoting ideas about how to get $2 for an icecream out of my folks.

Nah sorry VOTE ONE WHIPPY!!!

LOL - this brings back memories of the Simpsons episode where Homer's goal in life is to be 300lb so he can work from home... At the end of the episode, Homer steals a ice cream van and drives it to the power plant to save the reactor.

Anyway, after he drives through the fence, all the staff jump on the ice cream van and try to order ice creams.. LOL

Anyway, you have to be there,

J

P.S. Isn't it funny how there's a Simpson's episode for every 'moment' in life :)

I went to the danny green boxng fight at couple of weeks back and when singing the national anthem it had more of a dance tune background music...

I'm thinking lets make a mr whippy drum N Bass remix or break beats remix of it.. with a few vocals...

"Put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the air......"

Don't worry about the music comin out of his speaker worry about the sad arse engine that sucker is running.

If I were you id run out there and give him the low down on how to strap a bug mutha RB26DETT to that sucker, chuck on some nitto 555r's and rock that baby down the motorplex!!!!!!!!

Ohh yeah grab one of those sundae thingo's in the cup he sells, they taste mad!!!

how bout "Put your hands up in the air.............if you want ice cream, Put your hands up in the air..............if you want ice cream"

the mr whippy song is called Greensleeves...... Dan I would buy a break-beats mix of that hahahaha

Whenever i hear the ice cream I think of Eddie Murphy in Delerious - ICCEEECREEAAMMM THE ICECREAM MAN IS COOOOMMMMMING. I've got an icecream and you cant have none, cause your dads an alcoholic and your on the welfare.... you cant afford it, you cant afford it. :)

    • 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"
