Ok, so opinion time. I want to upgrade the HU in the MSP to something with Bluetooth streaming and Pandora controls. So I'm at a crossroads here. Do I go single din or double din.
Here are the three I'm looking at:
Single din:
Kenwood: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113BT752HD/Kenwood-KDC-BT752HD.html?tp=5684
Alpine:

Double: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158XAV64BT/Sony-XAV-64BT.html?tp=5684
They both compare pretty closely, the kenwood looks to have better sound qualities. I guess the main thing with double din is looks and touch screen but at almost double the price is it worth it?
Thoughts?
And if the Sony had Nav it would be a no brainer but the cheapest nav unit I can find that's good is about $550...

There have been a lot of discussions of squeaking belts in this forum over the years... I had the same problem, even with new Gates belts. So I did what others had done to solve the problem; I ponied up the cash for OEM Mazda belts and guess what?.... no more squeaks. Why they work when others don't? I have no idea.
Of course this assumes that the squeaking is actually from the belt(s) and not from idler pulley bearing, for example.

A router works great and it saves tons of money if you already have one.
Just get a exhaust shop to extend it should be that expensive.
this is what i been thinking. but dont want to replace alt and then thats not it lol
SSAFC is now installed. I had to adjust a wire for the ignition because she didn't want to start up the first time around. Kinda scared me, but she is good to go.
Anyone know what I hook the wideband up to when the SSAFC doesn't have the orange input 0-5V wires? I need to hook up the AEM UEGO wideband and don't know what to hook the input wire to.

1. done
2. done
3. vac leak is where the intake mani meets the head, for a temp quick fix I added silicone gasket maker around the edges where I could. Doubt it will help.
4. Not much I can do here, the really only screetch when the idle dips like the car is going to die and then revs up. I believe this is cause by my vac leak.
5. she's on her way but I'm happy with the results.
How do you tell the difference? I just bought it new off of CR3.

No orange wires so I'm guessing it is a V1
Hmmm.... That's odd...

I had ****** with my tune on the SSAFC like an hour before the differential went out and hadn't been able to drive it obviously, but damn it, I wish I'd saved that tune... Too rich!
