Re: Uncertainty about century price correlation with USA tariffs

Kinda looks from this video as though maybe it doesn't although it's not very authoritative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUoYrWWCbAk

Re: Getting your own video and audio to route through the VCR connector

Hey there! I'm not sure how the car detects VHS but from my fiddling around I suspect it's going to be something pretty simple. Have you tried shorting 13 and 14? That's the signal that tells the car a video has started playing; it might be enough to get the screen to switch! One other thing I ought...

Also the missing battery cover is a very common thing and I've a feeling you can buy them new from the usual sources in Japan.

Re: Potential red flags in the engine bay of 1999 Century

Hey there! Here's a pic of mine where those hoses go - if the car is running fine then I suspect you've just got some red hose and there's nothing to worry about. The slightly-melted hose at the back is vacuum for the brake booster - Century engines do run hot so I'm not sure I'd be too worried abou...

How to remove the silver front center screen panel

To remove this do I have to have the whole big scary single piece of veneer off the dash?

Any help appreciated...
