jmp is right, it needs DivX 5.0.2 codec to view. I've edited the main post to show this.

To all the naysayers about insurance liability:

A police report was made. (Compulsory to claim insurance). Police stopped by the scene for a chat the same night too.

Boostzor reported that he lost control and hit a kerb, causing the damage.

In real life he really did lose control, hitting a kerb which caused the damaged.

Boostzor paided the access, insurance fixed the car and police added their fine and points loss on top. Theres really nothing else to bust him for. Was he speeding? Was he racing? No, he lost control and hit a kerb. I'm happy to let it be a unrestricted download if only to show ppl the dangers of off camber roads :D

I just told em the lights went green and i came round the corner but when i hit second the back end swung out came backa nd hit the curb. Exactly like it happened, im not gonna lie to em cause they will most prolly find out and then id be screwed.

If u notice all the tape on the side where the moulding is missing. That was from the week earlyier when i got it back from the beaters. I got hit by some P plater chick who had a lic for 3 days. I cant really say but i think she pulled out of a left turn lane that was givin way and colided with my ass end and wrote her car off causing aroun 8k damage to mine. She did not attempt to brake or swerve (she had 3 lanes free to play with) but its still my fault, I got a 3point $150 fine and had to pay my monstorous excess but its better than being up for around 12k that has to come out of ure pocket:eek: .

Just to clarify i did not see her neither did the guy in shotgun (shot gun always looks) i didnt eve see it comin till i was facing the other way. Imho if cant afford insurance u cant afford the car:) because after all s**t happens.

Well at least i got all my bad luck out in a month;)

rob: it won't happen :P

nah but seriously, it's like I said - the damage that would be caused wouldn't amount to what I'd have to pay in insurance (from past experience)

I know past experience doesn't count for much since ANYTHING can happen, but if I hit someone yes, I will pay for their damage and mine, obviously. But if you ask for it, you're gonna get it...so I don't exactly go around every corner sliding it out (no relationship or aiming at boostzor).

shit does happen, and currently if I want insurance (now that RAC have withdrawn their efforts for insuring new people for imports) I'm looking at 3,900 from sgio (who can kiss my ****) :D

i cant afford the insurance on my car so have 3rd party fire n theft from Suncorp Meway. costs me $252 a year, and in the event of an accident it covers everything (car and property) except for my own car. i personally think thats the way to go if you are unable to pay $2000 a year or more for insurance.

once im 21 im gunah try again, ive never had an accident so hopefully in 2 years time ill get a decent quote on insurance...

and about posting a video on the net, the chances of an insurance company coming across that.... well....

and for $3.5K the assessors have probably forgotten who you are now with the amount of repair bills they have to account for per year.

Dont get me wrong insurance companies will go through great lengths to prove that your claim is null and void. I know of a few young lads who are insured as a 5% driver under their parents name on their HiPo car and both have had claims void'd because it was proven they we driving the car more than 5%. An insurance company can void your claim if they find that you havent reported all traffic fines and other fines if they so wish. I think its too fine a line to tread, especially if you have a bad accident and write your car off and need to make the claim because $25k is a bit too much to fork out for a new car. Obviously RAC is going out of the import business because its costing them far too much when someone makes a claim.

Agree with you on that one, rob77. No point trying to pull the wool over insurance companies eyes, it'll only end in tears. Thing is, we're not daft, everything was done by the book and we can see absolutley nothing wrong with showing this video. Like Boostzor said, if the insurance company thought the claim was even a little suspect, it would never of gone through. They knew exactly what he was doing - kerbs don't just come out and slap into you. In fact, if anything negative ever comes from this video, I will personally pay for blowjobs for all naysayers at Langtrees. I only count 2 naysayers, so no one else allowed in on the wager :D

Anyway, lets get back to congratulating Boostzor on his fine efforts :P

Well well, Boostzor has learnt an important lesson hasn't he ?

Sorry about the insurance ass-raping your gonna get dude :):uh-huh:

and the important lesson was:

must get better and try corner again :lol:

sorry mate :P

Psiko , I gotta agree with rob77. Stay away from me. Even if you can't afford full comprehensive, at least get third party insurance like adam32.

I had a friend a long time ago who ran into the back of a very expensive ( porsche ) car cos he locked up in the wet. No insurance and it screwed him for about 5 years. The porsche insurance company took him to court and made him pay for the damages . He was paying a certain amount per week out of his pay packet for a loooong time.

Ken

BTW Boostzor , 2 crashes and throwing it into the sand at MC:D :):P . Thats gotta be telling you something:rolleyes:

Yeh Ken thats y I got the full comp:D Nahh seriously i wnated to let it go savage at MC hey i gotta learn somehow it might as well be somewhere im not gonna hurt any1 or the car. Plus i do not accept blame for the first incident that was total BS coulda happend to any1. The one u see here though ahh... yeh well cant blame any1 for that now can i :) At least after those 2 i never drive like a nutter on the road (used to cain it like a man possesed) i have gained a measure of 'self control' too bad that doesnt extend to "car control" :)

If anything it tells me im not as l337 as i thought. I apologise for not being as l337 as you Ken :( Im sure u had ure share if run ins in ure time.:) *ahem*GTR*cough*targa*splutter*write off:)

    • 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"
