    Airbag recall mess

    To get the airbag light off, the SN of the airbag has to be changed in the system and the ECU re-set. Unless you have access to the proper programmer, this would be a no go. //This knowledge comes from Subaru, but since they share most suppliers this should be true, i used to work in the...

    Upgrade 2018 to Support CarPlay?

    Emblem Overlays

    To remove emblems: 1) use a hair dryer (not a heat gun, if you use a heat gun, be careful not to damage the paint with too much heat, or melt the emblem) to get them hot to the touch. 2) use fishing wire (plastic, try to get a thin gauge) to pull behind the labels.

    Undercoating and brake lines

    /Real curiosity as I want to do the Undercoat Why would a coating applied to the brake lines mean we should run away? is it that the coatings are no good? or there is some reason why the lines cannot be coated?
