  1. I've done it, see here. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88491-serangans-ba-mkii-xr6t/?p=1493687 I also know Spyathe has also done it also. And depends what the car is optioned with, does it have the colour ICC? in which case you can buy a video converter that plugs into the bottom on the ICC to convert to the required output. Or you can do what Spyathe did and make the cable yourself. try this, http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87010-raspberry-pi-car-computer/?hl=spyathe#entry1526125
  2. Bluetooth kit installed - was a clearance item from Repco that looked usable. Takes the output from the factory speakers, passes it through a set of relays - default is pass through and chances this if it detects an audio signal on the Bluetooth side. Seems to be working well also hooked up the factory mute option with it. The way its wired up I could probably hook up a 4 channel amp quite easily if I wanted - 'The Trusty One' does have much in the way of amplification.
  3. Changed the suspension for coil overs - so much better. Didnt go stupidly low either, although did try the fronts at lowest setting just for fun. Would have destroyed the guards as soon as I turned the steering wheel. Overall very happy with the new setup
  4. I've been through the same process, so don't stress that your the only one. My first tune was through a company that dealt primary with Holdens, tune was terrible and I had massive issues with it. Find a tuner who's happy to help, communicate and knows what they're doing. You'll be much happier with the result. And don't just jump straight onto the next tuner that's the second mistake I made, im not sure about tunes in Sydney buy some of the guys on this forum are bound to have suggestions, ie CMS.
  5. Seems to be same drama for the xcal4. mine had to be updated and its kicking up a fuss about it.
  6. eh went back to pro auto to get a few things touched up ( wasn't liking the colder weather) and due to my luck, something wasn't working; the xcal 4 box is too new for my car or something. So more delays. Getting them to fix the leaking Master cylinder while they're at it though. wasn't looking forward to doing that one myself. Looking at getting some coil overs for it now because I want to lower it a tad (should have got for coil overs in the first place really).
  7. Happy Birthday Serangan!

  8. Not sure in the end. Held pressure fine. It did work to start with then nothing. Local tuner I bough it from wasn't being too helpful so I moved on and haven't thought about it since
  9. By comparison I've got this, going from hobart to Devonport to get on the spirt, and a bit of Melbourne traffic. Started with a full tank also. edit, suppose I should add mines a manual. ID1000's and new tuner are showing their goodness! Old Bosch 968's couldn't match that as easily.
  10. Happened to me, turned out to be the ICC connector. The locking mechanism failed on mine and it was jumping loose. Cable tie to hold it together and it hasn't done it since.
  11. Im filled with joy! haha. Might go read the codes sometime tomorrow. I assume this might also be the reason I've lost the 'follow me home' lighting? Tied in with all that somehow and in a fault state it just drops it? Seems logical I think. Might be something else entirely though. Good news is 2 consecutive days and nether one of them have I lost steering wheel controls, instrument cluster, heater controls (very useful in Tassie currently) or radio. So I'm pleased still.
  12. Yeah, I figured it would be something to do with that, but not too fussed for now. Will look at it when I can though. Im assuming if theres a fault with the sun sensor wiring it will default to lights on
  13. Seems to be fixed, but time will tell I guess. I need up remove the car side of the ICC plug from the cradle its in and that gave me enough cable to plug it in and get still have access behind it to get a cable tie around the joined plugs. Wont be going anywhere soon! Seems though, the auto headlight setting keeps the lights on regardless. Can just switch the lights manually which I can live with for now
  14. Also, inb4diffbushes Found the problem. ICC plug has had the tabs broken off and thus it isn't locking into place properly and coming loose through vibrations etc. Explaining the random speedo dropout, heater controls not working and a few other things. Not sure how to fix it though :/ will have to figure something out though.
