waaaaa kutuk me since im not in msia laaaa

I guess the guy who drove the car was asleep while driving, there are lot of sharp bends around KL, especially exit/entering the highways .. the interconnection between PLUS, DUKE, Kerinchi, etc .. if you're not alert, you can hit the divider. And not slowing down at those bends are asking for a trouble for sure.

BTW, littlemin, I've Logitech webcam pro 9000 in my car, but looking at the footage that you posted, the guy have a very nice cam.

the driver didnt really sleeping tat time..
it's actually something like got callman pour engine oil on road..
cz according to the driver(and also the video) the car just suddenly lost control after the last yellow line..
it's either got oil on the surface of the road..or either the driver was driving too fast..

erm im nt sure wat cam is that~wat i noe is tat product is come from taiwan..
besides cam clear~d recorder oso quite clear..

Bidding for Visteon HD Radio now .. hehe.. the DAB module is quite good for receiving DAB frequencies but not for FM.. I can get clear DAB reception on most broadcasted DAB frequencies but on FM .. adoi, only few that works.

hah.... my HD radio is a perfect match! why not get directed radio from mitchJ? it works flawlessly.

Mitch doesn't sell radio, he sells the cable only. Mocoso has both, mitch cable and the Directed HD for around US$100 before shipping.

i bought it about USD 120 with shipping if not mistaken

Alright .. got the Visteon HD ZOOM for US$40.10 but the postage is killing, US$41 .. now to get the mitch's cable, he doesn't reply my email yet on the cost of shipping the cable to Malaysia. When I tried to order, the shipping cost = 0 .. don't think he is shipping it FOC.

Chris email below;

Hello,
We have the cables in stock, and just a few tuners left. The tuner is $99.99 and the cable is $29.99. I am sorry but their is no discount for buying both at the same time. Shipping would be $44.25. We would only ship via USPS Express. The cost difference between priority and express is only $4.30.
Regards
Chris

Added on October 15, 2010, 12:51 ami bought together because this would lower the shipping cost.. i i got the tuner in 3 days

Hmm.. interesting.. Bout the Mitch serial communication cable.. is it hard to build ourself?

If you pimpmed your rides like on MTV, be prepared to be robbed. People here are nasty... Pity how they steal and break into cars... I had my rims changed last time and the idiots stole my rims tyre caps (the thing you use to put air into the tyres) cuz mine were the metal ones.

shaunk, the cable is not a straight or any direct cable. I believe it has some interface built in inside the DB-9 housing. I've no idea if this is a TTL level shifter (aka MAX232). I'll see when I get the cable.

steven, received a reply from Mitch, he has never post it to Malaysia and he asked for USD$5 extra to cover the postage. So total cost for me is US$29.25 for the cable and US$81.10 for the HDR radio shipped. BTW, the ebay guy is fast, I've just got a notification that the radio has been shipped with tracking number.

you may check in my cardomain.... it uses SMD components in the serial connector... anyway it is possible to do our own but i rather get a ready made for less fuss

Thats why we park our car in safe places, even we dont have car pc, we still park our car in a proper safe place however if ppl aim to steal your car, i believe there is nothing you can do!! it is something like you enrich your life then a car hit you.

Do what you really want to do, dont let the fear overcome you. I have car pc in my car for more than 6 yrs

Arghh.. 1) My newly bought antenna sudah patah when I went to Damansara Specialist parking, damn, so low .. grr..! Now need to get a replacement, probably just get replacement locally..no DAB.. 2) Just got a letter from POS M'sia saying my HD radio is stuck at the Customs. Need to go to LCCT to clear up myself.. 3) My HD is acting up, this is the new Hitachi replacement that I just put in .. now, need to rip off the carpc from the car and change the fan to the original noisy fan.. no idea if carpc is bad idea on 4x4 .. probably need to go for SSD..

what a rough day that u have.... sorry to hear that. My stuff never stuck at custom because i always address it as computer interface HD-R. The hdd, try to use WD, it is way better... my 1st hitachi HDD ko also...

Ok, got it through .. no tax/duty/type approval needed .. it stuck there because the seller put HD Radio as description .. I guess if it was computer interface HD-R, it will go through no problem .. now waiting for mitch cable to arrive ..

Added on October 25, 2010, 11:11 amBTW, this is the exact same radio as yours Steven, the other one that was listed (Directed) was sold for US$30 .. mine I got it for US$40. Both brands are OEM-ing the HDR from iBiquity.

It's looks the same HD radio lols... it's a OEM HD Radio.... after u get Mitch Cable you will love it...

Dun worry about the US freq bug... once you install in CF the bug is fixed (US freq is all Odd freq, no even freq)

Still waiting for the Mitch's cable .. the carpc is now ripped off once again from the car. This time, to put back the noisy fan in (it spins at 6400rpm) but hopefully this will last for more than a week since I've just pre-ordered an SSD drive (being cheapo, the 64GB KingstonV).

I'm wondering if I can have two storage drives, the SSD for system/boot and the current HD for junks .. movies, musics and to store the webcam captures .. I wonder too if the way I drive my car (I go on bumps like they are not there .. hehe) causes the problem with my HD

BTW, where LittleMin gone lah? .. what is the update now on his setup?
