Again. I have rung the RTA and all previously engineered cars are fine.

This is in NSW, anyway.

There is so much mis-information going on about this subject its not funny, if you want the REAL information ring or visit your local RTA.

DON'T BELIEVE HALF THE RUBBISH YOU READ ON INTERNETS.

Engineering Certification Scheme (ECS) certificates

The VSCCS replaced the Engineering Certification Scheme (ECS) on 19 December 2011.

If you have already submitted your ECS certificate to the (former) RTA or RMS it will not be affected by the VSCCS.

ECS certificates not yet submitted to RMS should be taken to a motor registry by 19 June 2012. From 20 June 2012, if you have not submitted your ECS certificate you will need to get a VSCCS certificate.

iF YOU WANT CORRECT INFORMATION GO THE THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY, NOT THE RAMBLINGS OF A "INTERWEBS EXPERT".

And once a cop defect's you for your old engineering cert and needs to be checked again under the "New rules"

What are you gonna do then ?

My rules come from Indy So @ IS MOTOR RACING , he is going 100% by the book of what the VSCCS has told him.

edit : at the end of the day what the government put's on there website doesn't mean shit , there so claimed " No changes to the engineering law's" is a load of shit go try get your car fully engineered with the new engineer's and see what happens either you will get a shit job that will get constantly recalled, or the engineer would shut down

Facts is what is needed not hearsay, if your car is engineered and no further changes have taken place then the defect WILL be cleared, police will defect you if they think it has been changed outside of your certification, that is their job.

I've been pulled over twice by the police with the RTA road side inspection van, they look at my cert, check the car then let me go, if you follow the rules you will be fine.

Unless you act like a knob or have changed your car so it doesn't comply anymore that is, its the people will low ride height, ATMO BOV, loud exhaust that have had it engineered then have changed it that will get done.

Keep it as per the certification or too bad so sad, sell it and buy a Camery.

And people can sook all they like, me I don't care about someone crying that they got defected, fix the non conforming parts and deal with it.

I definitely think it's about time we step up our game and counteract the police actions thrown against us. From the numerous forums I've been on, I have heard of plenty of issues with police officers targeting imports.

One such instance was when a police officer gave a car a defect label because it had rusted boot screws. Another instance? Someone had their car defected because their drivers side seatbelt didn't retract quickly enough.

It's getting out of hand. I want the dickheads off of our street, but you can't label us all dickheads from the cars we drive. Sounds a lot like someone targeting people on the colour of their skin, only different.

I'd sign any petition you guys had. I fully support this idea.

    • 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"
