Thank you @frederic demolder @khlief @Hani crest king @Glenn W @Giacomo @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Waqaɾ for the patience and support escorting me out from the incident site. Apologize to cause the amazing drive shorter. Thank you @JeromeFJ and @Mike M. for the support. This is really showing the quality of Carnity club. We leave no one behind. It is a lesson learned for me, that 1 second can make a significant difference. I should have turn right one second before the ridge ends. After the incident I was worried about HOW to bring the damaged car out, but it was quickly handled @JeromeFJ and @Mike M. by doing survey and deciding to arrange a route. Thank you everyone.

@Asif Hussain, thank you for the day full of challenges. WHAT A DRIVE. And the views... @Luke K P, you know what I am waiting for now? @Jessica Lambert setting the desert on fire! @AlexM little something for you: I took close to 500 photos today... and drove over 750km. Need some time to recover and get thru all that content...

Thanks @JeromeFJ! Always a pleasure to drive with you, while it was a bit shorter this time but always fun and smooth. Happy to support you today and thanks for the kind words. I even learned a few things as it was my first towing rescue. @Frans M hope you have things sorted out or in progression. You have nerves of steel man. Kudos for your attitude and calmness for today’s unfortunate event. Thanks everyone for your patience and support. It’s all part of the game.

Dear Desert Drivers, Thank you for joining the drive this morning. Unfortunately, the drive was shorter than planed, but still, we had great time enjoying the big dunes area of Nahel. A bit of warm-up in the nice open dunes, a few criss crossing to get in the rhythm, and we were ready for some big climbs. As you all have realised, climbing is not just pushing the throttle. Assessing the soft sand, choosing the best line, the best gear, getting the momentum, maintaining the grip, all this is required when the conditions become difficult. Still the convoy got stuck where the steep exit route was becoming difficult as the soft sand was becoming more churned by the different attempts.. I walked back getting my car, and my 2nd lead, and we turned our way back. Then we had a nice section of open dunes and large bowls until unfortunately @Frans M had a nasty nose dive into a pocket, on top of a ridge. Engine oil was leaking. With a common effort of shoveling, and careful pulling, we managed to take the car down on a flat area. Then @Mike M. has towed him on the way to the exit with great care, while I was scouting ahead to find a suitable track. @Glenn W @frederic demolder @Hani crest king @khlief @Giacomo @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Deepak Eswar @Waqaɾ thank you for your patience and active support during the recovery. @Mike M., special thanks for the support, and towing the damaged car out. @Frans M it is tough seeing the damage to your car, I know you are taking great care of it. Hopefully it can get repaired without too much hassle. Great seeing you remain calm and composed during the incident and the recovery. See you all very soon!

Yeah! Great great drive today. I really enjoyed it. Very well paced, a lot of diferent manouvers and dunes, it was amazing. Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for the wonderful drive, and of course, thanks to @Emanuel , @Andrew John Melvill and @Alexanderrr for your help and support. see you all soon!

Many thanks for this ride @Ale Vallecchi + support team, excellent one, my first afternoon ride ever and such a blast, many lessons and beautiful scenery, Definitely would love to do it again

Amazing afternoon drive all! I thoroughly enjoyed it, from the free flowing dunes, to the short and technical ones, I loved every second! Great lead @Simon D! And thanks for the support @Gaurav @Ishak & @Looper!

Super Drive With Nice Mix & Tracks Today ! Many thanks to @Simon D @Gaurav @Ishak @Looper

Hi Guys, I'll be 5 min late

Hi everybody, we ended up on a detour of a farm Road and deep sand. Had to deflate to do a self-recovery, I'm reinflating but will be about 20 minutes late. Late. Apologies! Hope you can wait 055 1355 868 if you need to call me

@JeromeFJThank you for leading an enjoyable drive! appreciate your efforts to ensure a safe and engaging experience, and your dedication throughout was truly appreciated. A special thanks to @Mike M. for his support, especially in carefully towing Frans' car after the unfortunate incident. It was great to see everyone come together to assist in the recovery. @Frans M really sorry about the incident, and wishing you a smooth and hassle-free repair. Thank you everyone for the support. Looking forward to the next adventure!

@JeromeFJ thank you for the drive, although short but there was a l ot to learn in the beautiful Nahil desert and soft sand. @Frans M wish you all the best with the car and see you on the sand soon. Some pics in the gallery and let us plan this drive again

Dear @Abdullah A. and @Aadi, sorry for my late reply. I was travelling back to Dubai and couldn't see your messsges. Unfortunately I am unable to extend the convoy, due to the drive's level and nature of the terrain. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope to see you another time. Have a nice weekend.

Noted, i have done a small adjustment based on your car. please update your profile with your car details. thanks,

Thanks Frederic! Just did my part in this teams’ sport. We leave no one behind! See you on the next one!

@Mike M. If I break down on the highway, I'll call you, you're really great ! 👍😉 See you

Most of the early GEN4 Pajeros do not have an AUX connection, so it does not allow for other music sources to be connected. Later on they started installing the AUX jack connector in the glove box. But for the people with early 4th generation i made this tutorial on how to install an AUX cable, allowing you to hook up your phone or Ipod. Until now i did not find the time for this install, and used a Bluetooth FM transmitter with a USB stick which i stored my MP3 files on. It's a cheap option, but sound quality was horrible and did not do justice to the nice sound quality the Pajero has with the Rockford Fosgate Setup. Materials needed: - Plastic spatula or knife to remove the AC vents - Soldering gun and solder wire (tin). - Aux cable (cable with headphone jack on it). - Philips Screwdriver Step 1: Remove the vent channels on both sides Do this gently by prying the knife inbetween the vent and the soft part of the dashboard. Work your way around and take your time. It's very easy to do but do not use excessive force. On the vent channel with the warning light indicators, you'll need to unplug the connector on the backside. Step 2: Remove the head unit front panel Put your hands on both sides of the headunit and pull towards you. The complete unit should pull out without any issues. Unplug the connector on the back side. Step 2: Remove the CD unit There are 4 Philips screws thay you need to unscrew to remove the CD unit. On the backside, remove the antenna connector and the two white connectors. Step 3: Prepare the AUX cable In my case this was a cable i had lying around for a long time already. On the one side you have a headphone jack, on the other side you will need to cut the wires and make them solder-ready. You should have 3 wires: The left and right audio channel, and the ground wire. The ground wire is the wire that is wrapped around the other wires and does not have insulation. Step 4: Identify the connection on your head-unit. You will have 2 white connectors. The smallest connector (18 pins) is the one that you will need to solder on. In my car there were already wires connected on these connectors, as this is the connection for future rear seat entertainment. I have cut these ones and soldered my Aux cable wire onto them. See below the pinout for Pajero: Pin 14: GROUND (YELLOW EXISTING CONNECTOR) Pin 15: AUDIO LEFT CHANNEL (BLUE EXISTING CONNECTOR) Pin 6: AUDIO RIGHT CHANNEL ( PINK EXISTING CONNECTOR) Step 5: Solder all three wires properly. Once you have soldered these wires, make sure they are properly insulated, either with shrink insulation or with electrical tape. Once this is done, you can choose where you want to bring the AUX cable to. You can put it under the steering column or somewhere else, but in my case i drilled a small hole inside the front storage box (where you have the ID card holder) and put the AUX cable through there. Now put everything back in its place. The headunit and vents can be pushed back into their place easily. The AUX is now connected to an old Android phone with 16GB SD card to store the music on. You can also put Spotify with offline download option, or just use your own phone. Even a Bluetooth module can now be connected. Note: To ACTIVATE AUX, you need to push on the CD button for a few seconds. DONE. Overall time taken: +/- 90 mins PS On how to fix the ERROR03 on your CD PLAYER. Since a few months i noticed my CD player did not work anymore. There were still 3 CD's inside, but i got the ERROR03 everytime i wanted to load them. It seems this error means one of the CD's is stuck inside. Since i was opening and removing the unit for the AUX installation i had a quick look and was able to fix the error like this: Step 1) Remove the top panel of the CD player by removing the 4 little screws. Step 2) Locate the CD on top. In my case it was stuck out of center. I gently used a screwdriver to get the CD loose and put it back into the center. I suspect it got stuck during offroading or maybe during loading/ejecting. After this, the CD player worked fine again. I decided to remove all CD's and only put one inside when i actually want to listen to it. This should minimize the risk of getting stuck again.
