Hey everyone!! Happy New Year, hope everyone had a nice holiday season.
Just a quick update on the DWS. Very good in the snow! And my car was sitting in the cold (5F-20F) for 9 days and no issue with flatspotting. Used 37psi.
Will check in again in spring. Have a good winter.

hey everyone!
DLS started which means spring is just around the corner.
this year im going to swap out the stereo on my '12. im not 100% sure of the bits i need, but i think i need the dark metalic painted nav trim, passport trim adapter thingie, remote module, and my HU.
im pretty much set on running my old pioneer for now.

watz up everyone! im doing alright. hope you all had a good winter.
so i ordered up a couple of things today for the stereo install...
got the fm harness, the wiring harness, bypass relay thingie for e-brake, the passport inner trim bezel thingie, and aswc.
i need to still get the factory nav bezel and brackets which i will order this week. since mine is a '12, i need to get the dark colored bezel.
im thinking about running a 4yr old AVH3100DVD i had in my other car, but since im spending so much on the peripheral, i was thinking maybe i should just buy a AVH2500BT or something that has built-in bluetooth and crisper screen.
your thoughts?

little by little my bits for stereo install are coming in.
need the temp to get a tad warmer though... i dont want break tabs while taking that stock stereo out.
btw, is this screw i need to take out from the cup holder area looking up, somewhat visible without killing myself?

hahaha, yah, reminds me of a guy long time ago on his wrx where his car was heavily modded with wheels but his ride height was like a 4x4 stock..well, that's until his fat arse and his fat wife sat in the car. perfect ride height then.
