that's incorrect

You arae allowed to have dry cell. In regards to batteries being sealed, that's also incorrect. These so called "sealed maintenance free batteries" are not sealed. They have a plastic lid. That can just be pulled straight off, and you will see caps underneath it. Hell, they're supposed to be maintenance free, but i just topped up the one in my other car the other day. It's not just mine, i popped down to autobarn and had a look too.

Anyone with a sealed maintenance free batt - i'd be seriously worried, because i have experienced the explosion before. Let me put it this way. It reshaped my boot! Don't buy these dodgy sealed maintenance free batts. Go for a proper dry cell. Like an oddysey, or wrxhoon's batt.

So a completelyy sealed batt can exploded cos the gas buildup cant escape?

Any advantages/disadvantages for going dry cell compared to wet cell?

ok, sorry if i was confusing. What i'm saying, is that those batteries that are called maintenance free are not actually sealed even though they claim they are. I said, pull off the plastic lid, and you'll see caps.

Gas is still released from a maintenance free batt. This builds up in your boot + spark = aftermarket boot retrimming in charcoal & a nice alteration in boot shape (boom).

Adv of dry cell - no explosions, no spilt acid all over boot, no rust due to spilt acid, lots of power for the size.

dis - slightly heavier

thx... my orig pitstop battery has a hose coming out of the side and it plugs into the boot floor just beside the battery tray. this is to direct dangerous gas outside the boot area...

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
