Thanks. I meant intake manifold, not sure why I said exhaust. Thanks for the wrench recommendations. About double the Pittsburgh Pro. I used to swear by Craftsman, but I imagine it's still better than Pittsburgh tools. Local mechanic quoted me $300 labor to replace the plugs, which doesn't...

I have a 2011 cx-9 AWD. Am I reading this correctly that you need to remove the exhaust manifold to replace the plugs on the back side of the engine? Also I'm looking for a torque wrench... seems most of the 3/8" drive do not go low enough (most only go down to 13.6 Nm). I found one that is the...

I just read through this entire thread and as someone just recently said -- it's very confusing regarding the terms used by various posters over the course of 7 years. My question is -- I have 2 working FOBs and the silver part that connects the key to the keyring broke off of one of them. I...

Thanks for the advice. I will try out the line level outputs and see if my sound gets better. Unfortunately I have the "mid-level" stock head unit for the 2011 model year so I do not have the correct LCD that allows me to adjust the Bose amp gain/levels with the RP4. I really miss the old days...

After reading this thread I feel like a real dufus. I Just assumed the RP4-MZ11 acted as a line-level output converter. I'm sitting here wondering why the beeps on my HU are so freaking loud and the thing is super loud at volume level 4 out of 50 -- and it's because I'm passing amplified...

While they can deny a warranty claim for lack of service, they can't deny it because it wasn't done with them. Look up the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.

I can't really find an answer anywhere, so I'm hoping that anyone here who has swapped out the Bose system with rearview camera has an answer for me. I'm looking at replacing the head unit and am going to buy the PAC RP4-MZ11 module to keep my steering wheel controls and trip computer features...

Wow, that video is great. I just brute forced my way into removing the glove box and didn't even realize there was a panel that came out. In the process I broke this little tab that attached to the glove box, but I can't figure out what it did -- it is obviously some sort of mechanism to...

Im in the same boat, except I just bought it and it's a 2011 AWD Touring. Love the vehicle but this makes me nervous. 50k miles. I did a fair amount of looking around and research but somehow missed this. [emoji32]
