  1. Anyone bought an Android headunit off AliExpress? Can get one for $600~ shipped vs paying $1000 for a decent head unit here for something like: https://www.pioneer.com.au/shop/car/avh-zl5150bt/
  2. Not sure tbh. Depends on work and a couple other things. I figure I can always take the headunit out if I sell it and put the OEM one back in.
  3. High end, double DIN, Android Auto compatible. Looking at Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood. Something similar to these: Sony XAV-AX5000, Kenwood DMX8018S, Pioneer MVH-Z5050BT I'd love a headunit with the tilt function as without it double DIN headunits are quite recessed at the base:
  4. Yeah I did the stereo install in my BE Legacy with ease. Stuff has sure changed though. USB inputs, aux inputs, reversing cameras, steering wheel controls, tiltable double din headunits
  5. After spending many hours doing research last night, I found that it is much simpler than first feared. A lot of the higher end headunits that support Android Auto also have built-in steering wheel control decoders which means you don't need a 3rd party device to interpret. Thanks for the suggestions
  6. Hi all, Anyone got any car audio installer recommendations in Auckland. Wanting to replace headunit, retain steering wheel controls and add reversing camera. Cheers
  7. Sorry to here that dude. Sucks when people take other people's stuff. I was under the impression that all 4th gen were CANBUS and factory immobilised? Were the keys stolen? Or was it a tow truck job?
  8. Went car shopping, found cars I liked, remembered why I've never bought from a dealership. Honestly gobsmacked at how some stay in business. Not even a "Hello, can I help with anything?". I was even asking about two particular models that I knew they had a few different cars of, but they just pointed to where they were.
  9. Oh I definitely prefer wheel nuts and studs for the most part. Especially for changing tyres.
  10. The benefit of euros with threaded bolts rather than wheel nuts...
  11. Decided this has been stagnant far too long. So here's the next location. Old (Auckland Airport from Puhinui Rd): New:
  12. Ray Chubb. He's built plenty of roll cages and does them to a very high standard. https://www.rollcage.co.nz/
  13. Haha bugger. We've all made silly mistakes like that before.
  14. Washed it myself for the first time since at least November... Forgot how big the thing is
  15. Dude the NT03 have free shipping! I reckon they'd look mean on a 3rd or 4th gen. They're the same wheels as the 4th gen photo I posted and the wheels on the front of this B4:
  16. These are wheels I've been considering for a while now that you might be interested in: https://www.trademe.co.nz/1929772241 https://www.trademe.co.nz/1922975579
  17. When I cleaned my OZ wheels I used a waterblaster first and then scrubbed them with a stiff wheel brush and a product like Dragons Breath or similar. Chemical Guys also make some great products which are now available in NZ from companies like United Car Care.
  18. I think 4th gen look best on decent width18s with a chunky tyre
  19. But Link Engine Management is an NZ company? Haltech is great and all but for a Subaru, you can't really beat a Link in NZ.
  20. Would highly recommend umbrellas unless you plan to be in the trees all day.
  21. What's your main complaints about the current setup?
  22. Decided to clean the headlights, they yellow a lot near the top and just look average. Camera doesn't do the before and after photos justice: Before (passenger side): After (driver side):
