What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

2nd Mod. - Gator brand GPS tracker. Got it fitted under the dash when I was having a front camera installed. The inbuilt immobiliser was not connected as even the manufacturer thinks the OEM immobiliser is sufficient and the Gator could interfere if it was connected. It has a geofence function that if set notifies me if it is moved. The GPS function is meant to be accurate to 5m.

3rd Mod. - Advanced Ice brand front camera. It allows me to view down to about 150 to 200mm off the number plate. Functions by pushing the OK button on the wheel to activate and it stops if the OK is pushed once again or if the car reaches 35 kph or put in reverse.

4th Mod. - A permanent port connection to the battery for my CTEK charger. This is glued in nicely into one of the grille honeycombs. This great idea was copied from @Enoch in the UK. The connection came with the charger and I got Gold Coast Car Audio to install it at the same time as my front camera. Good job and they didn't charge for this extra.

Yeah Troy I first thought that the camera was a bit pronounced located above the grille horse but it is a trade off with getting the best functionality. I could have used a slightly smaller one that located back within the honeycomb but I would have lost some vision. Both the camera and CTEK port (when capped) are black and seem to blend in well with the dark grille and are hardly noticeable in fact. A lot of my dash was pulled apart and I do now notice a slight rattle on the passenger side which could be coincidental. The operation of the camera is easy and allows me to safely pull up close. Under the bonnet the wiring looks OEM. They found a grommet on the passenger side firewall to send the camera wires through. The front guard had to be pulled back a bit to gain access though. The whole job was 5.5 hours.

I know. The bottom would be more hidden but they decided that up higher would give a better view.

I got mine mounted in the bottom grill am the camera angle seems fine

Mine would be less conspicuous down lower. I might have a look at how much slack I have to move it.

5th Mod. - Put a sound tube tap in as per @bjstang on the US forums. It doesn't fit under the 2018 engine cover as well as it does on the earlier model but is effective. The idea of being able to have it switched either on or off appealed to me.

Morning Troy. I was surprised that it wasn't that much quieter but it wasn't as "present" in the cabin like it was. I need to do a longer drive to confirm.

Ha. I used to live up the mountain but have moved down to the water. I still go back to Tamborine for some gardening work and yes the roadworks slowly continue in a couple of spots. It doesn't make for a nice mustang drive at the moment.
