    lol if you leave your windows down, you can get out, deadlock it and it automatically winds the windows up, one by one.

    have you got any interior footwell courtesy lights?
    If not, then it is a very nice interior touch that is easy and cheap to do.

    I dunno what your into, but maybe a gauge pod made up to fit in somewhere in the dash?

    Dash cam - I have one of these Car Dash Camera MOTION DETECT Cam Accident Recorder DVR (eBay item 110604783544 end time 28-Dec-10 20:41:06 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats and reckon everyone should have one. Records on a loop - 2 gig sd card so you have the last 90minutes or so recorded.

    enjoy - I like it so much I got one for the wife's car. I have some nice videos of some of the noobs out there - a chick who walked right in front of me while txting, some crazy driving - and not to mention, my last accident... It was side impact (need more cameras?) but the camera tells the story as I mosey down the road minding my own business, can see the guy waiting to pull out into traffic, and just as I dive past he pulls out *bang* - in this instance the guy owned up 100% straight away - but the video would be hard to explain if he tried it on...

    I wouldn't mind one. What's the video quality like? At that low price I'm guessing not too good.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Video quality is bloody good for the price. I found that using quality sd cards makes a difference.
    Time/date stamp. Records in chunks of 5/10/15 minute clips (user selectable) - most importantly, it turns itself on/off with the car.

    can record 1280x720 or 640x480 at 30fps in H.264 format - around 150mb per 5 minutes.

    i mounted two 2" gauges under my dvd in the pocket thing. I also installed hidden led's in my cup holder so it has a soft glow.

    I have small hidden leds in all the storage compartments and cupholders so that it's possible to find stuff at night time, and of course added console bin light, footwell courtesy etc.

    some good ideas regarding interior lighting never thought of putting lights in the cup holders

    will use the left over led's to do that as well as foot well lights

    fletch's idea was great already ordered one cos so much random sh*t goes on will be good to catch

    pedals are also on the way too

    cheers
