    AWD Performance on Snow

    AWD worked well here in NY during recent snowfall. Very seamless and solid traction... could not tell it was kicking in. The only issue was that the snow build up around the wheels wells caused the tires to shimmey but that is an issue with just about any vehicle unless there is lots of...

    can anyone help me out?

    I agree, it is our investment and we need to do what's best for us. I always give the dealer the benefit of the doubt and try the reasonable approach first and that is discussing my concerns or issues. I guess what I'm not clear in the whole discussion about demanding TSBs be addressed and the...

    Which fuse is for the ECU?

    Once you turn a cap till it begins to click it really doesn't get much tighter with more clicks and it doesn't take any more time to turn it 2 clicks or seven clicks. If it is the gas cap causing the issue the code should clear itself anyway though 'm not sure how long that takes. On the...

    Xm

    I have both and I like XM programming better but so far Sirus seems to cut out less. Unfortuantely the CX7 only offers Sirius so XM will have to be installed through through your FM or the have head unit changed out.

    Which fuse is for the ECU?

    Regardless of how you reset it, what good is resetting it only to have it come back on? You would be better off removing the CEL bulb,which I don't recommend. I would just have the dealer fix the problem.

    Bought Dec 28 Going Stron

    I picked up mine Dec 30th and the only problem I have is the CEL. I believe my VIN is after the gas cap mod. I was supposed to bring it in tomorrow but I may cancel because of the weather. Don't want to give up the AWD for the day. LOL I don't notice any trouble with the door seals but I...

    gas question

    That is correct assuming the fuel pump sits higher than the fuel level when the light comes on. I normally don't let it go lower than a quarter tank and in the winter try to refuel at half a tank.

    gas question

    In the wintertime it was an oldschool thought that it was best to keep the tank full so that less condensation can form inside the tank. The extra weight of the gas also normally helps with traction, but not as much as it does on a rear-drive vehicle. If you are in a situation where the AWD...

    Is that including Satellite Radio? If not it is still a good price.

    Check engine light

    The filling up with gas remedy no longer eliminates the light though I still believe it is something fuel system related. Yesterday it when out by itself, but then back on again. I hate having to bring it now with about 2400 miles because It will need it's 3500 mile service soon. I average...

    What Are Your Biggest Gripes?

    Yes, the transmitter was part of the XM radio and worked by placing the XM antenna/transmitter near the car antenna. I actually mounted mine inside the vehicle near the windshield close to the antenna. It worked very well despite the recommendation not to mount it inside the car. I also used...

    What Are Your Biggest Gripes?

    The FM transmitter from my Pioneer Airwave XM radio worked fine in my Honda all over NY. I think once I had to change the station when I experianced bleedover outside my usual area. Some radios may be better than others.

    What Are Your Biggest Gripes?

    I bought mine the end of December, but I've never checked an MP3 disk in a it. My VIN number is a later build that supposedly already has the Gas Cap fix. I don't know why they would mention MP3s in the manual if they don't work.(shocked)

    What Are Your Biggest Gripes?

    I don't have an IPOD, but if I get one or an MP3 player, I will just go through the FM. I did that with the XM radio in another vehicle and it worked fine, except when traveling long distances I sometimes had to switch the FM frequency. I know there is a difference in sound quality, but I...

    What Are Your Biggest Gripes?

    You're saying that some can play MP3 and some can't? That's rather odd.

    Difference with Electroluminecent gauges

    Your question almost reminds me of back in the day where you paid extra for a math co-processer in a computer. Many of them already had the math co-processer already built in and if you elected not to pay for it they simply disabled them. In answer to your question, I'll willing to bet the...
