I did a single seater experience day over at Anglesey yesterday. The staff were great and very informative. The weather was ridiculously wet with a small stream on the track. I managed to stay pointing the right way, brilliant fun but needed many many more laps . Here are a few damp photos: _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Hi I am looking to get a dash cam to protect me from lying idiots on the road. And record epic drives for prosperity Do any of you have one, are they worth while? Looking at getting one of these, at cost, from a friend who sellers them: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=331572224508&globalID=EBAY-GB _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

My father -in-law is giving me his TW Steel once his Vintage Omega has been serviced. Not sure it's gonna look right on my skinny wrists? I also have a titanium and carbon fibre Skagen which is my favourite but needs a battery, a Seiko, an Oakley and a few others _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

My post was wrong. Ignition needs to be off completely, corrected the post. _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

The one I am looking it has GPS, lane avoidance and collision warning. Dunno if I would ever use the last two! _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Keep them coming then! Love G's. That Mudman is nice _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

The best tip I was given with touch up kits was to ignore the brush and use a cocktail stick for chips to apply the paint. Much easier to build up the paint slowly using this method _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

I was busy today so they fitted me in early, fixed a USB issue before 9am and are now washing the car. Love this dealership! _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Codes proven to work so far: Beep on door lock/unlock -no problems Auto lock and arm alarm after 60 seconds -works but make sure you turn your ignition off when you get out of the car! If your car autolocks with the ignition on it disables keyless entry and key fob entry. The only way in with your proper key! I have now turned this off as it caught me off guard when I was sat in the car with the ignition off Unlock both doors - works great Codes that don't seem to work: Total closure - I'm assuming the windows are not wired into the alarm module

There is a code for it, but suggests it is turned on by default. It could be that the alarm is not connected to the headlights wiring. Worth trying to see what it does: *17856 *014 * 0 or * 1 then # Accessory Wire 6 (Headlamp Illumination) Operation - *0 = Arm Only. Configures the timed output to occur only when the system is “actively” Armed (illumination does not occur when Auto-Arming or Auto- Rearming). *1 = Arm & Disarm. Configures the timed output to occur when the system is both “actively” Armed & Disarmed (illumination does not occur when Auto-Arming or Auto-Rearming). NB: Only S30, 32 & 34 models * 0 (Arm Only) _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Car is going back to the Subaru garage this week to see what can be done about the paint. In hoping to push for bumper respray _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Think you need a word with trading standards, ridiculous they can sell something so far out of spec. The fact it is looking great is a credit to your skills mate. _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Very good point, although you can instruct a solicitor using your home insurance if you have legal protection (for example) _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

I can confirm the auto lock setting works also. They should have supplied these codes in the manual _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

And if you want to change your PIN (NOT TESTED!): Provided that you can disarm the system with a working Radio Key or the current PIN, then you can re-set the 4-digit PIN to one of your own choosing yourself, using the keypad, at any time. If you do not have the current PIN, then option A is your best solution. However if you do not have a working Radio Key, then you will have to use option B and obtain the systems PIN code from Subaru (UK). Your dealer can obtain this for you if you can provide proof of ownership and the alarm systems 16-digit serial number. A. Using a working Radio Key: - Arm and then Disarm the system using a working Radio Key. - Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad- *17856*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where wxyz is your new PIN code) - Arm the system with the Radio Key - You should now be able to disarm the system using the new PIN code B. Using the current PIN Code (if a working Radio Key is not available): - Arm and then Disarm the system using the current PIN - Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad- **abcd*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where abcd is your current PIN code and wxyz your new PIN code) - You should now be able to arm and disarm the system using the new PIN code When using the keypad always observe the following points: - The PIN number should not be entered too quickly or too slowly - when a digit has been pressed the small LED built into the keypad will illuminate briefly as confirmation and only then should the next digit be entered. - If an incorrect digit is pressed or the delay between entering digits exceeds10 seconds, then the LED above the keypad will flash rapidly and the PIN attempt should be abborted and started again after 30 seconds. - Due to the small size of the keypad some users may find a rubber tipped pencil easier to use. DO NOT use the sharp tip of a ball point pen etc, or press excessively hard on the keypad as this will only damage the membrane and cause a digit to remain pressed, causing a continual incorrect PIN. - The keypad allows only THREE PIN attempts and then will lock up if an incorrect number is entered a third time. This is a security feature to prevent random PIN attempts disarming the system.

That is correct, pin isn't needed. You just need fast fingers. I'm not sure i understand what the total closure option does? _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

I just tried the door locking beep code and it works. Need to be in the car, with start button pressed only once (aux not on) _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Hi Weird question, asking other dudes about their knobs.. The badge on the top of the gear stick that shows gear positions seems loose/elevated away from the leather of the knob. I'm assuming it's not normal and needs sorting Before I take it back to Toyota for a warranty fix, can someone confirm my suspicions? Thanks Ste Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck hope you get it sorted _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

Agreed, but the compensation was nice _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

I had a car crash some years ago, I claimed compensation from the guilty party for devaluation of my car as it was only a few months old. Something to discuss with a solicitor perhaps _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk

I got my knob (oo-we) replaced under warranty in the end. Problem solved . And no buzz! _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk
