if alarm goes off, try the remote again, if that doesn't work, put the keys in the ignition and turn over the engine. if that don't work, pop the hood and disconnect the battery to stop the alarm.

could always cling film wrap your car after you clean it. drive to work, un-film it. and re clingfilm it before you drive home. will look spotless in the work carpark, but will look like a mobile packed lunch during the commute

WoooHoooo Part 1 of my I.C.E Complete (now fitted)
rtbiscuit replied to nurrish's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
actually, i'm a dab hand at soldering, but i have no idea where to start, did you take pics as you went, could you compile a list of parts (where to get them) and what needs to be soldered along with possibly a software download and instructions would be happy to pay a contribution for the service would this work with the flip style cubby, or do i need to swap to a push back style, and if so would this other cubby fit in my slot? would this windows CE take a different user interface so you could have different screen layouts like centrafuse etc Found this off an old forum (The carpc is still in the planning stage, I am about 50% done in writing my own software called freeice.. your welcome to have a look at it.. http://www.freedrive.co.uk/freecar/FreeICE%200.8.zip ) if you plugged a usb hub into the single usb slot, this would open it up for other devices. do you reckon it would taken an OBDII reader so you could also run engine diagnostic through it, monitor things like revs, engine temp etc, as i've seen it on carputers (i don't really need it, but those running turbos etc might find it useful) so many questions i'm sorry. just been reading your thread again, this does look hard work. really do hope your up for making these to sell to members, its just what i'm lookking for. -

WoooHoooo Part 1 of my I.C.E Complete (now fitted)
rtbiscuit replied to nurrish's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
sorry forgot to add on, does this have any external USB cables fitted as it would be good to be able to plug something like an external harddrive in. cos i could save all movies and music to it. but bring it in to update content without having to remove the unit. basically i'm looking for satnav video music possibly reverse camera optional handsfree bluetooth (already have the nissan fit) ipod/mp3 connection -

so how do you go about ordering one of these then. i have been contemplating my own project but this seems better. is the prototype complete now? are you taking orders yet? is the price still £400. what is the spec of the final item? (i have been reading but lots of posts and add ins has left me confused of what your little gizmo does) -
i need to see this in the flesh. its growing on me, some pics make me like it, others make me hate it. i would never change my car now, but in years to come i might upgrade unless their is something better, but by then i would hope the GTR would be more affordable as i prefer that.

for what the car is £900 is bloody good. when i was 22, i had an MR2 roadster 1.8 140bhp and that was £840 are you the main driver or are you just a named driver on your car?

your biggest killer is not your 1yr NCB, its the fact your under 25, the older you get the better it is regardless of NCB's NCB's just give you a percentage off; i think 1 NCB = 5% off your initial quote. i had a crash 2 years ago, lost my 3 years NCB. have just 1 now and got admiral to insure me for £700. but i'm nearly 27. the more sensible you are the cheaper the charge. age is not the only factor. i put my wife on my insurance and it brought down my quote by £200. (Only just got married) so putting married down helped as well. even your job can effect it if your young and male you get hit hard in the pocket as statistically your the most likely candidate to go out in a blaze of glory and cost them lots of money. statistically women have more accidents but they tend to be low speed low impact from being hesitant. that is statistically speaking; i have seen some awesome women drivers, and some diabolical male ones. i'm not trying to stereotype or say your a bad driver, just how the insurers see it.

is there a big difference between a true twin can from manifold back and using a y pipe to either twin cans or a single back box?

sat nav.. cost of fitting and is it worth it ?
rtbiscuit replied to cerealuk's topic in 350Z General
this is what i'm planning on doing. and it should give me a factory fit look that i can take with me to other cars have a look at this, its not much at the moment, as its still in the planning phase, but the idea is to fit it in the cubby hole http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... 840#251840 -
found out abit more about this item, it looks like the mini amp that comes with this works like an in-line amp. you unplug an audio cable fromt ehback of the original headunit and plug into the f500 amp. it then runs a new cable from the amp back into the headunit. and another that feeds up to the GPS. this is how it intergrates and gives all the features. this should mean its compatible with the bose head unit. what i need help with as i have never done it before is how do you mount a double din screen or equivilant behind the cubby. i have a flip up cubby, and as far as i am aware you can remove the back box section leaving the door in place. my next question is how do i fix the unit in place behind it. will i need to custom fabricate a frame to hold the unit and mount up on to the original cubby box fixing points and then fit it all back in? any pics of what the dash looks like dismantled would be greatly appreciated. if i have to fabricate up a cradle and this all works i will take pics as i go, and would possibly make up cradles for other people. this unit should give me the opportunity to run an external harddrive through it with all my music on (could put up to 250 gb in) it will also take a reversing camera, or link you ipod up to it instead of an external hard drive. i plan to run an ipod cable to the same place as the current bluetooth adapter is. but as i've said before, never retro fitted a screen into a dash before.
