Just got done for a defect notice.

now get this

got pulled over (900pmish) by a cop car, pulled out onto a 60k zone pretty fast (note: automatic late 80s magna, so not fast compared to boosted jap car or v8 or even a six) and accellerated to 60. Before I knew it I had disco lights behind me, so I pulled over to a closed service station and idled. The cop (duel cab rodeo pady wagon thing) did the NYPD "drives infront of my car and parks with lights on thing" and the two cops get out. me and my mate are just sitting there giggling like kids at how american cops influence our cops, its not like i was going to do a runner, they came over, made me turn car off and HE TOOK THE KEYS AWAY FROM me i was still giggling and didnt really notice... Anyway, I was my polite self and there was a young chick (early/mid 20s) [note: "bad" cop] and an older guy [note: "quiet/good" cop] Now

1) young chick demands I get out of car

2) old dude asks for licence and am I familar with the 'car impoundment laws' i said no, he left it at that

3) start checking my car, chick tells me to get to back of car, i (which is true) said I have been RBT'd and car checked twice in the last week she also told me to turn lights on, so did {car off the guy cop (smoking a ciggy) had my keys} so parking lights came on, then she asked for the headlights on and im like "can i please have my keys back then? she got the keys and tried to start my car. took her a few goes to get the immobilisr (she didnt want my help!) she even said "is the car in gear?" its an automatic in park dear.... " that shut her up. she also told me to put my foot on the brake (so she could see the brake lights) i go ok and shes like mumble mumble

4) old dude FIRES UP A CIGGY note: we are at a closed service station, like 1m away from fuel bowser

5) inspect my car, i ask the chick "what have I done wrong" she says "you know what You have done wrong" im like, uhhhk

6) asked to pop bonnet, i say to old cop "yeah mate, shes pretty standard, no mods" he goes, yeah no worries chick says IM NOT HAPPY WITH THE BATTERY im like "er dad had it for two years, best mate is a mechanic, they dont have any problems with this car" then she fired up and said "IM SICK OF YOU TELLING ME WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK" im like yep ok, your putting in your 2cents and im putting in my 2cents ok [in a polite way] hahah i was getting nervous

anyway they go back to their car (in front of me) and start writing stuff. I got a defect (nothing else) for damaged front bumper and 2x cracked lights (which were ok by every other cop who pulled me over the last week)

anyway

to top it off they didnt read my licence right, and put my old address (didnt view the sticker on back) and on the defect. they also but my name as the owner of the car, which is incorrect its under another family member

now to be honest i would only dispute this to piss the hell out of the big-head-i-got-a-cute-face-but-im-a-****ing-bitch young chick, but seen they made so many "unprofessional" errors, can I stand my ground? I found the whole matter quiet humourous. Im like "yeah whatever im a polite smart ass" my mate is pissed as in the passengers seat, the cop chick is a nasty bitch, and the guy cop is like "yeah whatever i dont care im happy lets go".

btw im in WA

sorry if it didnt make much sence but but you get the gist.

all in all, she had a huge grudge, its like ive been boning her younger sister or something

ahaha one of lifes experiences

      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"
