How much of that do you have to wire yourself?

Yeah, but I like the stock look, people can't tell I have a sound system when I'm parked and all those extras aren't for me. Plus I get to keep my steering wheel controls for volume without having to blow my brains out during the install of an aftermarket one.

My goal in life: To live it as lazily as possible, with as little problems as possible, while still having fun. :bigthumb:

I thought Rinne actually played better. But the hawks pressured him far more than Nieme was. I'll take it. Now gotta steal one on the road. You should've heard when they interviewed Gordan Beckham during the first intermission. Pretty sure that guy's never watched a hockey game in his life.

Mazda is awesome in the fact that they keep all the wires there. Most of Mazda's equipment is plug and play.

Just view the pics and you'll see how much of a breeze the install is!

KV, totally understand (the bluetooth on screen is a huge perk though - I love seeing the caller id there and being able to dial a number from the touchscreen). The steering wheel adapters have terrible instructions. I've installed a few now, so I have it pretty much figured out, but the first time I installed one I wanted to shoot the people from PAC.

Dude, that is amazingly simple. The hardest part is taking off the front fascia (since you probably need an extra set of hands due to the size). You could hammer that out in no time. Definitely do it when you scrap together the beans.

It's probably a push release. We need closer pics with different angles. Front, back, side to side...

I'm pretty sure he said something almost like this:

"It's awesome watching them get into the right places to make a goal."

I was like, whaaaaaa? The game was scoreless at that point too.

That's how I feel when I come across "how to install aftermarket in your car and keep steering controls" on forums. I want to shoot the OP for having me even look at it. :lolling:

I did that several times on my old 3, and I did it this past weekend to push the black part on my damage out. The only thing you can see now is the gouge in my bumper, other than that, looks like nothing happened. Underneath, though, and you'll find 4 clips broken and a lost screw. :frown:

THAT DIRTY BASTARD!!!! :mad:

Mine worked great for a few months, but now the direction up button (which I used for advance track) stopped working. It would work intermittently, but has now stopped entirely. I don't think it's the adapter, though. I'm pretty sure the button is busted. Once I get around to upgrading, I'll try to reprogram the module to see if that fixes it. Plus, there's a light on the adapter so if it isn't reading a voltage or anything I'll know I need to replace the button, or the wiring (which I probably wont do cause I'm too lazy to rewire it for one control on the wheel).

I'll do that tomorrow. I already gave it back to my mom to put back in it's little case. It was my grandfathers. He had tons of watches and such. My grandmother gave that to my mom when he died, along with two other watches of his. One of which, I am now wearing daily (that silver Seiko that was in the picture). It's a really nice watch. Anyway, yeah the pocket watch is really nice, I just wanna figure out how to open it so I can wear it with my navy blue and gold Ralph Lauren jacket.

EDIT: Tried pushing on both the ring and the button on top and it didn't budge. The button pulls out, but that's for adjusting the time.

Just the track advance, I still have previous and volume up and down as well as the source button (but the I then have to select the source on screen, so it's a pretty worthless button).

If it has any writting on it, try and google it. Might be some good stuff out there for you to read up on how to do maintenance too.

Haha, track advance. I use my iPhone for my music needs, so my phone will break before that happens. :chuckle:

Wait, you actually control the music on the iphone? Through like an auxiliary input or RF modulator? No ipod integration? I'd kill myself if I had to run it like that. :gapteeth:

Yeah, but I've got too much music to keep on my iphone. I usually use the attached ipod when I'm just listening to music. It's all encoded well, so it still sounds pretty good. However, for a good demo I'll throw in a DVD or something to actually get some quality out of my stereo. I'm also tempted to get the W900 since it would work with Pandora on my iphone which sounds cool as hell.
