Honda Civic mk8 - SRS airbag light reset (UK) and MES plug location Jackbox 2023-09-29 | This is exactly where you will find the MES plug on the Civic (2006-2011) to reset the SRS if you live in the UK - and other countries. Its done the same way as other Hondas - ie bridge the connector when the SRS light is on and disconnect as soon as it goes out - plenty of videos on exactly how to do this. It should work providing there are NO fault codes. If the SRS light still returns, unseat and reseat connectors under front seats as a first call (often the cause). If the SRS light returns even after resetting, you'll need to read the fault code to narrow down the problem. You'll either need a code reader or alternatively, you can bridge connections 4 & 9 on the OBD2 connector. This forces the SRS light to flash the fault code at you. See other videos on youtube for doing this. Finally, I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your vehicle. Hope it helps!
ATS25 - PLUS (ATS25+) - DSP SSB Receiver Jackbox 2022-04-15 | A slightly different and more recent version of the Chinese ATS25 - the ATS25+ with scan feature. Si4732 chip. Let me know your thoughts.Update. According to the author of the firmware (Bernard Binns), the navigation was altered to make it more useable, including a new scan button. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVdtMlt1SCI - you can set captions on and translate to your own language to get a better idea of whats different about the ATS25+In my view, the changes made completely transform the basic ATS25, particularly the ability to scan - more akin to the Malachite, even if simpler, and the battery state/charge indicator is very welcome, although you do need to turn this on in 'set up'. Many refinements made with respect to tuning and navigation. Well done Bernard.He provides a link to his firmware below his video.
In memory of Shaun Donovan (Essex) Jackbox 2022-02-06 | In memory of Shaun Donovan who died in late 2021 and lived in Fingeringhoe in the latter part of his life. Well known in Colchester, Clacton and Brightlingsea, he touched many lives with his passion for music, particularly The Who, The Edgar Broughton Band, Zappa, and King Crimson. He could often be spotted in this three-wheeler car.Sometimes incorrectly spelled as Shawn Donovan, and often unfairly described as 'Mad Shaun', he was an articulate and intelligent man who refused to conform and as many have said since his death, he had a huge influence on all who knew him. One of his favourite sayings came from the TV series 'The Prisoner', said by Number 2: "In Society you must learn to conform, oh well, Orange Alert". That line stood for everything Shaun hated.
