Interesting about the AA getting hot. In the Hilux it's all I use and works great. In the GU I didn't use AA but had to run a specific charging point for the Ipad as using it for Mapping it would slowly go flat using more than I was giving it.
@MB check out my mount in the GQ next trip mate. I have a RAM mount screwed to the metal face between the glove box and the centre area. Works great there.
I bought a cheap 35w HID kit and retrofitted it to my factory IPF spotlights for a little more brightness and a whiter light.
It all fit pretty easily, I just had to drill an extra hole in the back of the spotlights for the wiring grommet and mount the ballasts to the back of the bull bar.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2022/07/43.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2022/07/44.jpg
Bingo!
These Chinese Android HU are full of features you don´t use to make them look cool, but in fact, HW is poor, protocol compatibility (BT, USB tethering) is poor. I have one myself in my 105 and I regret it. I am going to change it to one mainstream brand like Pioneer/Alpine when the funds allow it.
That's an OEM unit, those are usually quality ones from manufactures like Clarion and the likes. It is probably not Android, but is Android Auto compatible. My Mrs has a Nissan Kicks and the HU works like a charm and makes me wanna throw my Android based Chinese unit on the trash.

A contradiction in terms even posting back here, at least we’re achieving Enlightenment for the future of Global GQ Exploration [emoji123][emoji123][emoji23]

When I did this using cheap 55w 4300K HID in IPF driving lights they were a bit too tightly focused leading to blinding reflections from signs.
Putting a washer around the globe so it didn't go in so far widened the beam and now there just right.
The ballast were behind the grill where the intercooler piping is about to go through so moving them to the bull bar sounds like a good idea.
Stripped Old Golden Grandpa’s Ticker down ready for removal tomorrow and TLC assessment plans thereafter:

If you have compressed air at the shed, you can buy the pneumatic version of that, which is usually cheaper then the cordless one.
