I just bought a new HU and am going to install this weekend. You can't just use a regular harness because of the bose system. the bose puts out a 2 ohm signal and your HU most likely does 4 ohm. Pac makes a harness that is plug and play and give your steering wheel controls. If you don't use...

So I just picked up my MS3 today. After driving around for a while I got home and noticed a burnt smell coming from the hood area. If I smell by the hood scoop I can smell it pretty strong. It's a 2012 with 20K on her. I'm hoping that it's just from the cleaning stuff they used to pretty the...

I've been trying to find a set of door scuff plates for my 2010 3s but haven't been able to find anything that aren't LED. I have seen quite a few places where I can get the first gen door scuff plates but haven't been able to get an answer as to whether or not they will fit. Does anyone...

I was told that but every time I try to go there and register the site gives me an error. I've tried for the past few days, the site must be having some issues.

Wow, much easier than I was expecting. I'm installing the Sirius kit, that's why I need to get it out. I've tried to locate some install instructions for the kit, but haven't been successful. I know the unit plugs into the back of the stereo, but was wondering where I get power for the unit...

I just picked up my 2010 3s hatchback and am going to install te Sirius kit myself. The dealer wanted quite a bit of coin to do it. I'm pretty much set on how to install it, I just need to figure out how to best remove the headunit. Has anyone does this? Any tips or advice are appreciated...
