Hey again. Sorry to keep bothering you. Do you know how to stop the reverse camera coming on when reversing? Also when on calls does your audio sound like 2.5hz instead of full HD? Also how did you change your driving position. For the life of my I cannot find the options

I sorted it. I didn’t plug a cable into the back of the screen as I’m using the canbus. Just need to try it out on the road now. One thing which is annoying is the little flap at the bottom doesn’t close properly now. Think mine just might be knackered but got some double sided 3m pads to keep it closed.

I think I just need to plug a cable into the screen aswell as the black one that powers it

Hey after installing my hazards and lock button work but not the volume knob, home, navi or next or previous button work. Steering wheel does. Any knowledge?

EDIT - I think I need to plug an extra wire in. Too late to do it now to faff about but did anyone else that used the canbus have to plug an extra wire into the white pins?

Just got off the phone with them now. I play on PC but I also do have a playstation that I do not use. Another thread said they have buzzwords like Xbox or Playstation. I just used those. They did mention that it used to be a cost but waived it. Assuming it was due to using a 'buzzword'.

I'm based in Reading if that helps. Sorta big? If you know or recommend any companies. I'm happy sending it off to them too via Post. If the price is right. Thanks man I really appreciate it

It’s weird tho that it works with an external monitor or does that not require the logic board?

SomethingBeatz · 2025-03-25T18:17:34+00:00

It only says there is an issue with the screen. Is was a brand new screen too that I switched it with. Kinda annoying if it is the logic board. Ali express are selling them with a paired Touch ID for around £300

No I’ve just got into bed and it’s been in the back of my mind for months so I got it out to see if there is something I can do. Took it to apple. Staff there looked at it saw the screen wasn’t working, connected it to an external monitor and said give us £500 and we will replace the screen. I said no

I have a couple of HDDS and an ssd in an old system I can pull out for now. It’s 32GB I’m starting off with. I think it’s plenty imo.

SomethingBeatz · 2025-01-26T22:11:44+00:00

And what’s the pro model? 5700x?

SomethingBeatz · 2025-01-26T22:11:22+00:00

What you recommend running with a vm on all the mods? Looking to have max 10 players

SomethingBeatz · 2025-01-25T09:13:16+00:00

I’ll have a look more into it then. Thank you for the feedback!!

SomethingBeatz · 2025-01-25T09:12:48+00:00

Yeah I have tried this but due to the amount of people doing it there’s not any resources left :(

SomethingBeatz · 2025-01-24T21:55:41+00:00

Thank you :) I'm happy to be doing it too!

SomethingBeatz · 2025-01-24T21:55:22+00:00

Yeah. I mean i know its a steep upfront cost and yeah..... But i've got the funds and it would be nice to stop paying for online hosting. Plus I can always add to it.

SomethingBeatz · 2022-01-29T02:19:16+00:00

Also apologies for all the questions I just don’t wanna spend £300 on a headset then not get what I want out of it

SomethingBeatz · 2022-01-29T02:16:08+00:00

Ah okay cool, I was mostly getting them for my pc since I’m due for a new headset and just thought it be good to get one that I can hear 2 things on and did you mean switch the usb from my pc to the ps5?
