vafc owners - some ---- i did
since these ********* that live in my apartments wont stop breaking into my car, and i have to park so far away that i cannot watch it, i dont keep anything valuable in my ride. that includes my vafc, which you see i have modified...
i had some cat5 laying around and got the idea cuz im a network geek. i figured i could make my vafc a "quick release" by using some cat5 cable soldered to the vafc wiring. on the other end i used rj45 jacks which i wired the same way as the cat5. this way, when i want to go somewhere, just plug it in. when i park my car at home, just release it - now these ********* cant steal it anymore!
i have had this setup running successfully for a while, but i haven't had time to take pics until recently.

Re:vafc owners - some ---- i did
nice job. That is a very cool idea. The AFC doesn't loose any settings when you pull it though??, I have zero first hand experience with them, so that may be a dumb question.
P.S. - You are a network geek. Nice job though.

it doesn't lose any settings, there is a battery inside of it or someshit that keeps them. i guess i could do a writeup if you guys want.
i plan on chipping my spare pm6 when i get more time. actually, i have some ideas involving turboedit, linux, and wine(windows emulator for linux so that i can run turboedit). i plan on making a linux thin client based on knoppix linux so that i can drive around tuning my car, while wardriving at the same time, lol. this way, i dont have to worry about a hard drive getting fucked up, and i can put one of my old desktop pc's to use. im going to use linux instead of windows because i dont need a hard drive, and i want as few processes running as possible. maybe the only thing ill have will be just fluxbox or some REALLY basic gui, and init(startup) scripts for turboedit and kismet. i guess ill rig up a power inverter to go from 12 to 120 volts, and buy a real cheapie lcd display. can you guys say digital display for everything? i know, i could just use my laptop... but i wanna do it the hmt ghetto genius way. i also wanna use a shitty desktop so that i can leave it in the car all the time, and have datalogging always. oh yeah, im going to find or rig up a really small case so that this doesn't take up much room in the trunk. ill have more details on this for you guys when i actually get around to doing it.
