heheh I rather beat the jerky, spank the monkey, let the piston fire.... :)

btw... I am looking for DVD player, any one help me?

I have budget $300. dont care about hte names... I just wanna play multi region DVD :( if you know what I mean :(

i didnt say it was a get out of free card either - thats why i suggested the car has a full inspection before you bought and its a "wing and a prayer" kinda thing. Im just saying that not all old guys are posers either - should see what this guy has done to his line its totally drool worthy! and yes ive seen him give it heaps :) Basically its a luck of the draw! Ive been fairly lucky but yeah even tho it was owned by an old guy some dodgy things have gone on their i.e my odo wound back in Perth.

The blonde one was a bitch - she may have looked better but she wouldve brought a life of misery with her. Zora was ok kinda sweet but a little too goody goody became annoying after a while.

Just me big fella

Joe even my brother who manages ozzypark straitfield doesnt recommend his dvd players they are cheap and nasty :( but if u want cheap i can get u a price on XMS brand or maybe if you can afford it DVD brand LOL

Niz, thats exactly what I said in my first post, except you took the old guy thing to heart. Old women are the worst, but that sounded too sexist, so I went with old man.

Joe, if you can extend your budget to $350-$360, Pioneer 355s should be within your reach. Very good players and can be found region free outta the box. Not Sony, ever!

Joe,

If you don't have a megabuck T.V and you aren't real fussy about sound quality then strathfeild have some very cheap but, otherwise reliable DVD players (black levels are not fantastic but then neither are the ones you buy from other dept stores in general).

Then again just buy a PS2 and get it mod chiped. They cost $400 don't they?

    • 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"
