It doesn't have a disk drive but I can play videos on it, don't watch anything on it though. I believe so. Just used the same wire from the previous head unit.

It's the symbol that shows up when the handrabke is up but says brake on the display. It was going nuts earlier. I've disconnected the wire from the head unit to the handbrake for now to see if it persists.

oh, in a vy monaro BTW.

hi all, Just swapped out a pioneer headunit for an atoto and now for some odd reason I get a brake warning on the dash and it makes that annoying sound after around 10-15mins of driving. Nothing seems wrong with the brakes and I've only touched the wires for the head unit so what is going on??

FFS, drove to work, finished, went to start car and it was dead again. Time to take it to a sparky...

Just ran a thread taper through in case, got the new one in. On initial startup it was reading between 14.5-14.8v. Took it for a drive and tested again and it was in the low 14v range. I will have to test it again tomorrow. Battery itself reads around 13.5v when the car is off.

Got a new alternator in but am having a little trouble getting 2 of the 3 bolts in. The 2 outer bolts for the bracket only go in about 1cm before I can't tighten them by hand anymore (even without the alternator in). Can get the middle bolt in fine, tried the middle bolt in the outer threads too...

Car has 48K on it. Thanks for all the replies, may as well change it out for a new one since it's a pain to get it out especially now that I've got a snail on the side. Hoping it fixes the issue. Also, gave the prevoius battery to my dad and he somehow got it back into the green although we...

Yeah. I'm now thinking that too. I pulled the negative terminal off the battery while the car was running and it didn't stall so yeah I dunno.

Tested the battery on charge with car off, read around 14.6v then tested with car on and it was reading around 15v, finally with the car off with not charger it's resting voltage is around 13.7v not sure how accurate my multimeter is though since the numbers kept jumping around.

Hi all, I drove to work on friday, car started fine got to work no problem. Left work after about 30mins and the battery was dead. Had it jump started with a battery pack, went to get groceries and car started fine. Went back to work the same night, started car, drove to work, no issues...

Was going to check the bolts but found out I need to undo the rubber surround from underneath the car... I'll give it proper look tomorrow.

Hi all, So I've had a Ripshift in my Monaro for a few years now and getting it into reverse has always been a pain. I takes more effort than it should and is always notchy, there are times where I really have to force it or even try a 2nd time. Are they meant to be like this or is there an...

Hi all, Recently had to replace the radiator and when mounting the condenser back in I punctured it. Will I be right reusing the drier? Also what o-rings do I need to replace and how many, just the 2 for the drier? It's been a few weeks now since I've punctured it, is it bad that I've left it...

Nope, never been resprayed. Car has stayed within the family since 2003 and was covered and put away into a shed for almost half of it's life. I'm going to get it resprayed at some point though.
