    Escort Redline 360c Radar Detector - Blendmount, alternatives

    That’s the blendmount I have with my Uniden r7. I didn’t have to remove any stem cover with mine. Get yourself an invisicord/mirrortap as well. Nice and clean install.

    Infotainment ver. 74.00.230A

    I’m genuinely curious if that was just a side-effect/hiccup during YOUR upgrading process (ie. You can install the 74.xxx one again and it will work) or if stations were actually removed?

    Any experiences with paintless dent repairs?

    I’m very lucky that I have a friend of mine who owns a PDR business. Back when I had my Ford Edge, he worked out 7-8 little dents that always drove me crazy. Cost me a a bottle of bourbon and few cigars. I haven’t needed him (knock on wood) for my Mazda. Watching him find ways to access the...

    Dealer charging for PCM/TCM updates?

    What’s new about the TCM & PCM updates? Are they recommending it or requiring it? I have a 2019 and haven’t had either of them updated. Can’t imagine I’m missing something.

    You ok? I get the excitement, but 4 cut and pastes over 2 posts seems a bit much :)

    Custom iPhone mount and charger

    Lol! I thought it was a calf or leg pillow/bumper at first.

    Custom iPhone mount and charger

    I did something similar a few months ago. I am using just a magsafe compatible holder attached to the same base plate as you have and I plug the CarPlay/usb cable into the phone (which I routed under the shifter into the center console to keep the cable hidden). I’m using this base...

    Firmware update help!

    You have the newer version of the infotainment system. You cannot use the older 7X.x firmware versions.

    Firmware update help!

    That’s the latest version, but any of the 70.XX and higher firmwares will work. To that, you may as well go with the most recent version.

    The rabbit is key! Saved me a few times. Even better if you’re in the middle of a convoy.

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I bought the signature/turbo not to save gas but make sure I have permanent wrinkles as I age from smiling. I average 14-21mpg because a majority of my trips are locally (2 kids, 1 school, 4 sports and a half dozen hobbies between them). Having said that I just got 28mpg on a 98 mile trip...

    Glove box light

    Could also do what I did to my safe at home. Wired in some 12v led strip/tape lights and a magnetic switch. Open the safe light turns on, close the door… You get it. Should be least enough to tap into a nearby 12v power and ground, or run to inside fuse panel.
