Where are these rumors that the car has been seen on the road coming from?

Sounds like bullshit to me, who the hell steals a car and actually drives it around, People smart enough to actually steal this thing wouldent be driving it around.....

anyway, gl finding it man.

Yup, I would doubt they would have it on the road standing out like it does other than to get it where they want it. Good luck finding it, it's the worst feeling having your pride and joy stolen.

As for alarms and taking keys, my keys are with me ALWAYS for the Passage, and it has about 5 other things protecting it (besides the alarm which is also has) but I still worry about it! It never gets left around shops or anything either.

it doesn't matter if you have an alarm or have the key on you or hind it.

If some bastard want your car that badly to commit a crime then you just hope it not you.

sad to say this but there is nothing you can do but give up your car or worse ended up in the hospital. of course unless you are a police officer of a bikie, or prepare to put yourself in a serious situation.

the only thing you can really do is don't show off your baby or have a good insurance, which this guy have.

But man that really suck...

To get mine out they would have to know a lot personally about the car and be quite an inside job so to speak.

Insurance doesn't always help, they won't cover mine for more than $6000 and then I have close to $2000 worth of excess plus $1290 premium so wouldn't even get an Aussie turbo 31 after that :S

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
