Its called a PSW160. Remember I said it was new back in the mid '80s (stoned). I'm glad I hung on to it. Now if I can just find a use for all the other crap in my garage that I am "hanging on to"....

If you like hi-fidelity music, it works fokken excelent! Its all the sub this little car will ever need and the placement is perfect for sound quality too. It also allows me to keep all of the cargo space. BTW, @ukelele, the OEM head unit in the '06 was poo poo. No aux input of any kind...

I chose the Kenwood because it has support for Android devices. I could have spent a little more and got a bluetooth unit instead of the USB port unit but it charges while it plays this way. I use the USB for the music playback but I have to use the 3.5mm jack to listen to audio-books on the...

$10k Dont now if you read about the towing to the Mazda dealership and two keys they also paid for....

I bought a used 2006 M5 with 96k miles. I bought this off of a Volkswagen dealership lot. This dealership has outperformed my highest expectation for a car dealership customer service. I am stunned. I had the dreaded suspension clunk and it was noted on my test drive. On the due-bill from...

Actually Crutchfield has free shipping and gives a free dash kit and 16 pin cable with purchase of head unit so I guess that's not too bad....

So no one wants to give me a hard time for such a stupid question?

Just got a clean 2006 M5. I've had this Clarion amp/sub combo for about 20 years. I dont remember how I had it wired because the last time I dealt with a car stereo was about 20 years ago (rolleyes) and of course the install manual is long gone. There are two ways to get the signal in to...

Well good news! It takes two separate matching key fobs to properly program the immobilizer system on a Mazda. So I got two new fobs instead of one! The selling dealership (Volkswagen of Vacaville) took care of everything - gratis! This involved towing, two fobs = ~$500, and the service time...

I just picked up a 2006 5 from a dealership. Has 96k miles. The test drive and the drive home went well, but when I went to start it again at home in my driveway, the Immobilizer locked me out. The key fob that came with it was broken and taped (yes, with clear scotch tape like from your desk...
