    If your phones on a more recent version of android you need to do the manual hotspot thing as android doesn't let other apps change WiFi settings any more. You need to enable developer mode on android auto on your phone to be able to manually start the server. I haven't been able to get it to work automatically from detecting Bluetooth. There's a wiki on line with the guides on. Edit.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-4-1-headunit-reloaded-for-android-auto-with-wifi.3432348/ Method 2 on this

    The only way I could get the free trial version working was with a USB otg cable, but the full version works great on WiFi. I've had to set it up so that I manually start a hotspot on my phone, and start the android auto server on my phone as well, but hoping to automate that using an nfc tag in the car.

    Fixed up the old tablet for the install - bought one with a broken screen, and swapped the motherboard to replace the one with the knackered USB slot. It's got headunit reloaded installed on it so that it can pretend to be a car, and use android auto with it so that it is basically a bigger touch screen that controls the apps on the phone... Looks like it's going to work well.

    Help!

    Hi George. What parts are you interested in being able to fit? Are you looking to fix something, or looking for modifications? @dave used to have an MA, so I'm sure he'll be able to help.

    The theme tune fairly takes me back to being a kid at my gran's with my cousins

    Nice one

    yes mate... I don't even think this works at all on usb adapters from what I've read - it's a Willem programmer... Was old fashioned when I got it then: Not even sure it runs on anything after win xp

    Class!

    I've got a chip burner as I was trying to just put a P72 map on, but with a slightly lower Iab engagement. I think that the socket on the ecu came loose though when I was taking the chip out - I kept getting eml codes for different sensors that I kept needing to disable on crome. Last time the ecu was just dead. I've had the socket resoldered, but not been able to try it yet. I've also got a zif socket instead now to make the chip swapping easier. Don't know if I'll be able to use the burner now though, coz it used the parallel port, and my old pc with one is a long dead Windows xp box

    Ah cool, is it something like this? https://www.hamotorsports.com/products/cn2-direct-ecu-bluetooth-module I've had my eye on them for a while waiting to see if my chipped p28 works - I might need to pick your brains about what you needed to do if I get the ecu sorted. They do a cable one which might be easier, but I like the idea of the Bluetooth one
  12. dr_broon
    Nice to get it up and running What are you using for Bluetooth Jake? Has the coil pack kit got it?

    That MG does look spot on. It's a really good colour as well.

    Just read through the thread again - was a cool project!

    There was someone in here a few years ago who was either turning an M into a rover, or vice versa - can't remember which, but I've got a feeling that he was putting civic panels on a rover? Either way, I think that it was a hatch rather than a deck. Would be interesting to see the back end and side properly, to see what's going on with the doors and wheel arches... Looks like a bit of effort gone in.
  16. dr_broon
    Yeah, that's a good point - they've got those flared bits.
  17. dr_broon
    Knew I'd read it somewhere
  18. dr_broon
    Yeah, that was weird... Why bother making life more difficult by doing the same thing in two different ways but make it look identical!? Yeah, that's what the garage said - they said that (if they did it anyway) you'd never know.
  19. dr_broon
    I must admit that I remember someone else who had fitted them before had said they came up a bit short - can't remember who though. I'll see how they look. No, you're right it's not on the same circuit... I was poring through the Haynes circuit diagrams, and the honda workshop manual, and there's no links between the systems.... Must be a dodgy connection somewhere.

    Had a call from the garage today, they were fitting the mg skirts and said that they were too short. They sent me a couple of pics. After seeing the pics I told them to carry on - I'll see what they look like in the flesh (at some point.........), but thinking that they might be okay. They said that they could extend them if I got the ends off another set. Weird thing, when I was there over Christmas swapping the dash back in, when I pushed the fog light button in it made the horn sound. I thought that maybe they'd done something screwy when they swapped my horn in, but when they had a look today, they said that it only happened if you try to turn the rear fogs on without the fronts on first, and that the rear fog light indicator wouldn't come on unless the fronts were already on. Anyone came across this before? He said it seemed like it was like that on purpose, but tubs never did that. It's another one that I need to try and figure out

    The deck is looking ace - nice one. Hopefully the rust is minor and doesn't take much sorting.

    Best thing that I ever did was the gearbox mod, with the teg type r final drive and longer integra ls 5th gear. No photos handy, but they're not that exciting anyway
  23. dr_broon
    Update to this as well is that they now automatically show the proper honda part numbers as well as their own, so you don't need to do the _pfk trick anymore
  24. dr_broon
    Good stuff Dave
  25. dr_broon
    Yeah, quite a comprehensive selection of stickers there
