I guess i'll hunt around and check under the seat and behind the glove box. I have an extended warranty, but the dealer's being difficult. They want me to guarantee I'll pay the $350 if they find it was related to the stereo install. Not too unreasonable, but I just know they'll work on it for...

mhrebin, What areas would you suggest checking? Like where are these pieces located?

For some reason, the airbag light stays on in my 2002 protege 5. Dealer took an initial look and said they couldn't find the problem. No codes stored. They thought it might be a relay. They also wanted me to authorize 4 hours of labor totalling $350 and still couldn't guarantee it would be...

I have the 'factory' stand-up Yakima bike tray and special P5 aluminum brackets that bolt to the cross bar. Just bought them 4 months ago, but selling my P5. Paid $180, $100 plus shipping Ryan rk2ride@excite.com

Need to replace the stock batt for a bit better one. I searched and could not find the model num for the Optima that fits the P5. Do I need to have a custom bracket made to use an Optima in the P5? I see Interstate makes a Megatron that fits. Any experience? Interstate is half the price of...

Thanks! I'll try it tomorrow on the way to work.

I couldn't disagree more. I have had nothing but very positive results with my Kenwood Interface. I have about 10 playlists and about 150-200 songs in each one. I do wish you could access genres instead of just playlists, but sound quality has been excellent.

Everything looks good, except the crossover install. (poke) Maybe put them under the seat? Sure, it takes more wire, put you'll gain the usage of those pockets again.

I am well aware that RCA's should run down one side, and power on the other. 1st question is: which side for the telephone wire for my remote bass knob? 2nd question is: could cell phone interference be picked up by this cable? I only get interference in my sub. I am doing tests to see...

My grounds are pretty solid. I have the radio grounded right to the battery with 16ga cable and my amp grounded to the seatbelt buckle bolt after cleaning the paint off. Total length of the 4ga cable ground is less than 18". Could it be picked up through the RCA's? My phone is from Cingular...

I don't know how or why this is happening, but man it is freaking annoying. Here's the setup: new Kenwood Excelon X689 HU, Kenwood iPod connector, Hifonics Zeus 4ch amp, Solobaric 12". Occasionally, there is a ticking noise (varies in loudness) that is heard through my sub. It gets worse when...

Actually, I had the Mazda roof rack, which worked great until I slammed my bike into my garage while it was still on the top of the car. (bang) I still have the old special brackets, but I like it behind the car anyway for gas mileage reasons. I had a hitch rack on my Corolla that worked great.

Thanks for the info. I plan to put a bike rack on there, so hopefully shouldn't be any issues. I imagine the tranny and engine aren;t really up for the stress of towing.

I am checking to see if anyone out there has a 1 1/4" hitch for their P5 that they no longer want. After a very messy roof-mounted bicycle and garage door incident, I think it's best to put my bike behind my car. -Ryan

Has anyone found a good match for the silver dash paint? I nicked mine up a bit with my last dash install.

I gotta go with keleko on this one. If he has that problem still, then he's not experienced enough to know how to fix it. I am not an installer (i did installs for 3 years, but I am certainly not a pro), yet after research on Crutchfield (flow chart on how to find and fix noise problems...

I second the Stoner Glass stuff. Top notch! A while back I did the Lowrider show in Miami and was indoors. I had the whole display thing going, models of my truck, trophies, photo album of mods, mirrors, mulch (yikes, i really did that). Kids stole several models, so watch out for those...

Pinnacle Ever since my friend who used to own the Driver's Seat in Jupiter turned me on to the Pinnacle Souveran wax, I have never gone back to anything else. It's not cheap, but after using it for the past 6 years on both my previous black Toy mini and now P5, so I can give a very honest...

Definitely don't run without the lower or upper. I already had a rock pierce the AC condensor behind the lower one (had factory mesh there too!). Cost me $600 from the dealer :( Also, I just had a baseball or some big round thing go clean through the upper factory grill mesh. Luckily it hit...
