    How is it holding up?

    Love me some clean carpet!

    Looks nice! I'll have to do this. Is it much work taking out the seats?

    My Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS Head Unit Installation

    Well, I got the ASWC-1 to work. I connected the ground wire from the ASWC-1 module to the ground on the car, but I didn't know I also had to ground the wire coming from the steering wheel controls. So I did that, too. While I was back there, I removed the T-taps and used the little screw nuts to...

    My Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS Head Unit Installation

    Have you tried just renaming the file (changing the extension)? Sometimes that works? I got the ASWC-1. I think it's my connection. I'll need to take it apart to work on the backup camera anyway. Looks nice. I haven't measured, but that doesn't seem like it would fit inside one of the blank...

    Metra ASWC connection hookup for 4th Gen 4R's in PLAIN ENGLISH

    I was hooking this up a bit late last night and maybe I didn't splice into the harness correctly. It would blink red, then green for a bit, then red again and then it would just settle on a continuous quick red blinking pattern. :( I'll have to give it another shot this weekend.

    My Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS Head Unit Installation

    I installed mine yesterday. Bluetooth streaming seems to work great. I'm using an HTC One X. When I stream just any sound that's playing on the phone (a downloaded podcast, YouTube, etc), it acts the same as if I hooked it up through a cable and no information is output on the screen, but if I...

    2003-09 Double Din Stereo / Navigation Options

    Maybe "dark side of the moon" means Canada. I hear it's acceptable over there to listen to Celine Dion, if not a patriotic duty. Since I connected the microbypass to the blue/white wire, I wired the blue antenna wire to the yellow (ACC?) wire for constant power. My reception is good and seems...

    2003-09 Double Din Stereo / Navigation Options

    I'm reading a lot about this double antenna issue. How many of you dealt with this? Did you just plug in the larger one? How's radio reception? Also, did everyone do the brake bypass thing?

    My Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS Head Unit Installation

    How do you like it so far? I'm considering the same unit. Thinking about a back up camera? Also, can you post some links or more pics of the other components? Which USB/3.5 cable are you using? Does it work well?

    A/C repair was ridiculously expensive

    On my dad's BMW, we decided to change the evaporator simply because everything else was tested and determined to function properly. You have no idea how suspenseful the situation was while we waited for the mechanic to refill the AC. Luckily, we made the right decision.

    Yeah, evaporators are hard to get to. My dad was quoted over $2k on his E46 BMW, so I took it upon myself and fixed it over a weekend. What a job! I think pretty much all evaporators are in the same location...

    I think the part is around $800 new. If you're at all mechanically inclined, you should be able to do it yourself over a weekend. This is not a reason to take a huge hit on a trade in.

    Is this a Coverlay product? Does the airbag cover not interfere with the airbag operation at all? What about warranty against warping? Price? Shipping? Thanks! :)
