waiting for Shell to jump onto this thread. She had a spider under steering wheel. If you park you car in a garage simply seal it then put one of those mortean bomb things in the garage. Maybe even put one in your car...

haha...yeah came back to my car, opened the door and there was a HUGE huntsman hanging over the air-vent...i'm talking body size of a 50c piece :Oops:

then it ran under the dash behind the steering wheel somewhere...so i was shitscared to drive home in case it dropped on my feet while I was driving!!

so there's me, GunMetalR33, and the little old lady who was parked next to me...in the Woolies carpark...poking sticks under the dash trying to get it to run out from where ever it was hiding so we could kill it LOL

Had me a huntsman in the door seal last week. Was on my way to work and stopped at the shops to get some brekky, open my door and there he was about 1 cm from my hand on the edge of the door. Dont know what it is but I didn't freek, had my keys in my hand still so I used them to flick him off the car. And he flew straight on to the navara ute parked next to me :) I wonder if that driver ever found the spider.

I went shopping with my mum once and as she shut the door after getting in a Huntsman about 10cm across crawled from the outside of the window to the inside. The impact of the door shutting knocked him off the window and into my mum's lap so she screamed and shouted and jumped out the car while the spider ran underneath the dash somewhere.

We couldn't get it out so mum sat in the back seat with her feet up and I drove us home. I was 14!

I'd just like to add..... spiders don't freak me out that much... but if a moth gets in the car.... look out!

I once flung myself out of a moving car because the driver didn't listen when i said "stop the car NOW!"

(this is not an easy thing to do, and i don't recommend it)

I know it's irrational, I know I'm bigger than the moths... but that's how fear works.

Me and my younger brother are not fond of spiders ;)

Well when we were a younger whenever he use to cheese me off I would leave a note for him

" Saw a Medium Size Spider on your wall in your room "

So he would obviously come home read the note and check for this spider which never existed. So I would come back and find him cleaning his entire room as he could not possible sleep knowing there is a Spider lurking in his room

Good to get your younger Brother to clean his room hehe..

ROFL beefy !!

Hunstmen can't hurt you but I am also scared ;)

One time i was driving along with the window open (in peak hour on a major 6 lane road) and this thing as big as my hand crawls over the mirror and onto the A piller. I freaked, slammed the brakes on and stopped the car.

I recoiled toward the drivers seat (luckily) into my girlfriends lap screaming KILL IT KILL IT !!! Luckily she was a nature person so she just flicked it out... meanwhile traffic was backing up dudes honkin and stuff haha.

Anyways .. so I drove the rest of the day with the windows closed and air on re-use. She laughed at me but I knew it had a taste of blood and it'd be back.

A week or so later I was with some mates dropping one home and standing outside the car. I noticed when my mate opened his door the same damn spider was freakin on the door sill!! We all freaked and noone would touch it - in the end I had to flick it cos it was my car... I got a newspaper and golf hit it onto the car behind me.. hahahaha. OooOPs!

i swear one time i had a spider living in my car for a good couple of months! it would just taunt me, apear then run off and kept doing it! then one night when we were out driving with a group of mates, and one of my mates was sitting in the front seat when the bastard was going out for its daily walk. anyhow i'v never seen my mate move so fast and do the "AHHH GET THIS THING OFF ME DANCE" by now we were all pissing our selves laughing at my mate cause no one had seen the spider yet. he managed it flick it off somewhere and we couldn't find it, so we were all very paranoid to say the least. later that night the bloody spider came out again ran accross the roof and down onto the dash infront of me then into the top air vents. so as every red blooded manly man would do, i grabbed my cd pocket blocked off the vent as much as possible, turned the heater on 32 degs and fan on full. then went and played in a park while waiting for this spider to go to a better place. needless to say i never saw it again

Me and Croat were driving around randwick when a Hairy Mutha F*cka slid down the indisde of the windscreen from above my head and then landed on the dash. I slammed on the brakes and jumped out. Me and this chick were 20 metres away from the car and Croat kep laughing at me the bas*ard!!! He eventually got it out and pretended he was gonna throw it on me. I ran for my life!!

Felt edgy on the way home aswell.

I drove about 60km with a huntsman on my windscreen, didn't have the heart to use the wipers on it... mofo's got mad feet tho, 110km/h and he gripped onto the car like crazy.

Huntsmans are HARMLESS people!

we have a beachhouse in the middle of a national park, and we have an old wood-fired oven there... was collecting wood for the stove when i turned a piece over and a huntsman bigger than my hand crawled up my arm... i walked back to the house with it there and showed my brother (he's arachnophobic) and he FREAKED... i didn't see him for the next hour... hahahaha.

Seriously, spiders won't hurt you unless you threaten them in some way. Hell, i used to catch redbacks when i was about 9 or 10... they were everywhere around my house... i think at one stage i had about 40 or 50 of them.... some of them bigger than a 50 cent piece.

We have a 6 foot carpet snake that hangs around work... if he starts getting too close to the skyline i have no qualms with picking him up and moving him along, so he can eat some of the damn scrub the sphincter of the universes that hang around there too, lol. (No, i won't pick up more deadly types of snakes, i'm not THAT crazy)

Oh, and another thing... if you have daddy-long-legs spiders... LEAVE THEM... they are harmless (actually, they're one of the most venomous spiders known to man, but they can't even bite you, their fangs are not long enough to penetrate skin) They kill insects and stuff that are around... plus, they tickle when they run across your skin in the middle of the night, heh.

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
