Meet at City West at 10 - 10:30 (check events thread not sure) .... maps handed out on the day but we are ending up in john forest nat park for BBQ lunch BYO meat n beer.

depends how i feel after saturday night whether i go or not .... but i went to dardenup cruise and i was trashed .... although i had somebody to drive otherwise i might not of survived haha.

ahh good weather on sunday is a good thing....

i am getting pissed off with my car, if i accelerate hard up to (and mybe over) 120 i can hear a whining noise coming from the rear of my car, i hope that its nothing. i got a feeling it might be the wheel bearings tho...

might treat myself to a couple of pints at little creatures on saturady i think..

not my idea :) Mel's housemates who i dare not argue with cos they get in a huffy...... they wanted to go Metros RnB Superclub first off and i put my foot down about that .... we only went there a couple of weekends ago. Must admit theres good eye candy in Freo tho :)

eeek not good :) ..... my cars such a slug at the moment .... feel lime im driving a commonwhore gonna leave it til i save up a couple of grand then go see Jash and see what miracles he can perform on it. But i must admit its gone thru going thru about 2 -3 tanks ( 3 on a cruise week) of fuel a week .... to one tank of fuel on a cruise week!! Why all of sudden is the fuel economy got good???

DC's? Drum Club??

yeah last time i was there was my 19th Bday but i was too sick to care trying to control a crazy off his face boyfriend ..... so my memories of the place arent that good.

um fuel economy got better not worse.

haha yeah havent been in ages .... check it out again one day.... just have bad memories of the place that'll stick i think. Bit like the Rise dont like going in there too often these days as well.

Y compo?

umm, i did that about 2 years ago now, i only got my arse into gear to get the compo cause i am getting out... and yeah it hurt like hell... got some nice morphine at the hospital though!

i dunno how much i iwll get but i have been told about $5000, that should be nice but i think that my car will miss out, just cause i have got the shits with it and by the time that i will get it the house will need painting and the gardens will need doing...

Such a nice feeling when your boss has gone to Canberra for half ya last week and you know when he comes back you wont be there to be shouted at if things havent been done ...... ahhhh freedom. :)

My cars interior is in desperate need of a clean - i used to keep it spotless but at the moment its really untidy!

$5,000 & Morphine wow .... *niz looks around for airtight doors* ...... Doh! :)

haha i bet you spend it on ya car anyway :)

Guys with cars n houses never spend any money on their house unless its neccessary!

    • 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"
