Finally!

Mick, Luke & I finished up tonight on the video from the Auto Tech Dyno Day a couple of months back. I've still gotta burn it to DVD but other than that, it's complete.

What we were thinking we'd do was see if anyone wanted to host a gathering at their place on Friday night say after meeting at the museum, for a viewing of the movie. Sorta like meet at the museum, then use it as an excuse for a cruise to X's place for the video. It's not heaps long, about 37 or so minutes, but hey it's something to do ;)

What we're wondering is is there someone with either a decent sized TV to accomodate whoever wants to watch it, or alternatively, is there anyone around with a big white wall that can be assaulted by a data projector that I can hijack from work..... (and a stereo of course, need sound because of the phat OMG SIK! sountrack)

Any takers?

Excellent! :P

You can all come over to my place...BUT:Erica has tonsilitis,so NO KISSING her,OK? And everyone will have to park neat & orderly without going anywhere near the driveway of our repulsive neighbours directly opposite our driveway..they're likely to take rego' numbers and have a whinge...What time,tho'? I gotta drive to Wagga to pick up my intruments,so wont be back until 7 tonight...

We were originally thinking after the museum, but whatever's good for you... it's your place :P

I've got to do some last minute 'fixing' with it (****in Pinnacle Studio), so whatever is good.

Oh, do I bring a projector?

Nah-big screen telly will have to do,as the only large,white wall I've got has a heeeeooooge fishtank in the way(which is up for sale,by the way...)-it's empty,but it's take 8-10 guys to move it...so,TV it is! Timing?

Maybe have it bout 9ish? We could have pizza and then afterwards head down to the Jerra and get shmozzled... I just want to get drunk :P

OK-say 8.30 show-up for 9pm viewing? I'm on the road in 10 minutes;any further ideas that require my input,call my mobi'!

Is there something on tonight, where are yas meeting up?

Sorry Kris! Just got in the door(left @ 10 this morn'-ALL over NSW today...)-gathering at my place in Jerra(I can't remember which side of town you are...)to view dyno day footage. I'll PM you my number...

is a good video.....

With some funny "artistic licence" thrown in(if you know where to look)! Whilst it's a shame all of the footage taken on the day can't be edited,the bits that Frink,Bluprint and R31DET have edited came out TOPS! Those of you that are ordering a copy,make sure you watch the credits all the way to the "end"(sAfrican American...SNORT!)...

    • 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"
