Still can't get the video out from the phone ... tried with the cable inversion (mass <-> signal), didn't help ... why can't life be simple?

Just an extra activity for you, if possible ... while you're taking photos of the unhooked TPMS ECU connector, could you also measure it as well (width, length), just so that I can be sure the target connectors that I'm looking at are the same size not just the same number of pins (they should be, but, you never know) ...

Now we're getting somewhere ... I've purchased a second Galaxy S (used), but this time not the Plus model (i9000, rather than the i9001) ... and the tv-out works (with the Nokia video cable, no modifications necessary), and it even came with the CyanogenMod 10.2 installed (Android version 4.3.1.) ... now, back to the initial issue ... it would be great if:

- the phone would turn on automatically (if shut down) when the power comes to the charger (although not crucial)
- I could set the OTG cable, to have it both charging the phone and have the touch-screen panel connected via USB (I've read somewhere that only USB 2.x devices are supported with the OTG, so that potentially won't work)

Some initial photos are below ... I'm planning to have the phone fixed in the passenger glovebox, so that I can get both good GPS reception and an accurate GPS readings.

s**t ... that's one (and only) way to put it ... went to fit the 19"s today, and the security bolt adapter is messed up, we couldn't turn any of the security bolts out of the rim ... now, I figured I could order the adapter (per car's VIN), but my service tells me that I can only order a new set of bolts and adapter, which is pricey, and if I get another "combination", I'll still have to drill out the old bolts in the wheel? So, is there an option to get just the adapter for my car's bolts or no?

I had an issue a few months ago when one lock-bolt had been done up so tightly (prior to my owning the car) it was impossible to release it (and I knackered the key trying (fortunately not before removing the other 3 lock-bolts)). I ended up paying £20 for a guy with the right tools to remove it (and it took him 45 minutes doing so!). My C5 now has normal bolts all round.

If you're keen to replace the PITA security bolts with new ones, I think I've still got a spare set of 4 bolts and a 'key' you can have as I took mine off and replaced them with standard ones. If you're really desperate, I can take a detailed picture of my key in the hope that it might be the same as yours - but I'm guessing the chances of them being the same are slim to none.

The first course of action would be to obtain a new security bolt adapter (if possible), since the security bolts on the wheels are as good as new ... if I'll have to get them out anyhow, then I may or may not go with new security bolts (it is great when they work as intended) ...

@ sticky - If I understood correctly, the nut removers are made in a way that they need to be screwed to the current security bolt (guessing on the left side), and when they grip it so tight, it has no other choice but to unfasten? Or is there some other trick to it?

@ bobins - I'll consider your offer ... chances are low that you'll come over to Croatia with a copy of the "key" and take my wheels off ...

You can have the key, I only kept it so I can throw it at 'Trick or Treaters' - I find if it lands squarely on their heads, they rarely come back
