Re: Lost my key

After the alarm went off I was able to press the start button. I tried to assign my spare key to the car but had no luck. The spare k...

I noticed on Aliexpress that there are a lot of digital dashes for sale with 40 to 50 % off. Has anybody bought one from aliexpress and what are your thoughts on it? Are they any good?

Install a front wide angle camera

The reason I ask is that as I was slowly pulling out of a car park where visibility was very limited because of suvs and cars etc parked on the side of the road that I nearly got hit by two boy racers in their lowered hilux trucks.
