    Smart Key in Cup Holder doesn't work

    I dunno - but I found-out I cannot have my work key-card in the same pocket as my wallet (where my smart key stays 24/7). Somehow, the work card cancels-out the car's key. I believe they are both passive devices that await a signal from a host transmitter, but having them too-close to each...

    Ipod Intergration w/factory Nav

    I use the PodMaz and the DICE cradle and I CAN control the track advance from the steering wheel. But it will NOT show meta-data on the display. (Allowed me to use both my iPhone & iPod in the same dock). If I changed the DIP switches, I could get meta-data to the screen, but LOSE control of...

    AWD Vibration

    Driving at highway speed Judge: Seems fine to me. You: Yes, well... you have to be at around 75-80mph to feel it. Judge: Why would I, or YOU for that matter, be driving over the speed limit? You: Well, it's sometimes necessary... for passing... Judge speeds-up to 80mph for a mile and slows...

    Remote Starter interference...?

    It's been two weeks now and the issue is -gone- as far as I can tell. No clue what caused it nor what fixed it, but the past couple of weeks have been without incident. Very strange, indeed.

    Require Phyiscal Key to Start

    PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG - but, aren't there two things going-on in the credit card sized remote...? The active aspect of remotely locking/unlocking the vehicle from a distance (requiring batteries) and the passive aspect where it's the VEHICLE that emits the signal that detects the...

    Remote Starter interference...?

    I really have no clue. This afternoon... I went to move my car... nothing. It wouldn't remote-start. It's far from life threatening... but it is annoying to not understand *WHY* it's doing this.

    Remote Starter interference...?

    It got even more strange. It is not consistent @ home now. I tried it yesterday evening and it worked fine... so now, it seems that it's intermittent here at home. I'll figure this out one way or another... :)

    Remote Starter interference...?

    I stood right beside it in my driveway and it would NOT start remotely. I aimed it in every direction... pointed it at every part of the car... Nothing. *Something* is going on... because like I said... It has worked everyplace else since I noticed this phenomenon. I assume the KeyFOB is using...

    Remote Starter interference...?

    I just ran into an issue earlier this week: I went to start my car like I USUALLY do on cold winter days, about 10-minutes before leaving for work. I generally just walk-over to where I keep my keys in the house... pick-up the FOB and press twice... wait (listening) and will hear the horn...

    Either RUST or paint failure...

    Well - I'll be honest. I am not the kind of guy who puts high expectations on products. I am not looking to get something "from the man" or freebies... but this car is a 2007 - AND - I "baby" it. I don't use the harsh automated car-washes... I get my car detailed a few/several times a year...

    Either RUST or paint failure...

    I don't have any pics yet, but I just noticed on the span of sheet metal between the top of the windshield and the beginning of the sun-roof, there are a few minor... ummm... "imperfections" that weren't always there... and as I walked around the car, noticed MORE on top - haven't checked the...

    Aftermarket brake rotors.

    Naive question: Does the ABS care at all what changes you make to your brake components...? I was curious about "upgrading" my brakes to something a little more *beefy* because I ALWAYS have several hundreds of pounds of pro music gear in my car 24/7 (just easier that way) and I can't imagine...

    Show us your device mounting solution..

    I must be lucky, or something. I've not had a single "peep" from mine. Unrelated, I DO have to set mine to airplane-mode when at gigs (I'm a musician as well) or it will "chatter" through the P.A. System... I also have issues using my Bose SoundDock and my Bose Companion 3 computer speakers...

    Show us your device mounting solution..

    FYI - My 1st-Gen iPhone is mounted directly to the side of my Nav/Head Unit and I have yet to have one speck of interference from the phone. I cannot comment on whether 3G is any different, but mine has *never* made a single ounce of noise through my system. I'll try to grab a photo of the...

    Ipod Intergration w/factory Nav

    to (re)state the obvious - FM transmitters, no matter HOW GOOD THEY ARE, will vary in success rate for some people. I bought what was at-the-time, the *BEST* one I could get - BUT... my daily commute to work was just under 50-miles in each direction. The path traveled encountered SO MANY...

    Folder and Random playback issues?

    Good to know. I have only tried using an .MP3 disc once - and I had all tracks at the root and it worked fine, never experimented with sub-directories. I doubt I'll "ever" use the feature again since I now have dock installed that can accept my iPod (all 4,000+ songs) or my iPhone (small...

    Folder and Random playback issues?

    The "random" issues are nothing new. It's a UI flaw with the units. Anything you do to advance or go back a track disables the "random" feature as well as purging what has already been played from its memory - so songs you JUST HEARD can quite possibly play again before getting through all the...

    foglight dilemma

    Here's why I got confused: marciano: shaz was this an easy swap...like bulb for bulb direct plug in replacement? AlbanianDude: Thats all it is man. 07LiquidCX7: Easy swap... but you do have to BEND not cut that little reflective dome inside the housing. You can take the housing apart and cut...
