    Auto Breaking Sure Didn't Work For Me

    I was in a traffic situation that I thought would have surely lent itselft to to the auto breaking system: slow moving stop and go, rolling forward, stopping, rolling forward again. I looked down as I was rolling forward again when suddenly the auto breaking alarm sounded and in the next...

    Why do my headlights suck?

    I'm not sure but the photo may be upside down? Lol My headlights are horrible. There's a big dim spot towards the passenger's side. Is this likely an adjustment issue? I have the factory halogen projectors with standard hella replacement bulbs. Please help.

    Is Homelink safe?

    I setup homelink to open and close my garage door, but I'm not always able to park my car in the garage, so sometimes it's parked overnight in the driveway.

    Backup camera, Bluetooth message annoyance

    Doesn't the bluetooth message annoys you when backing up and looking at rear view camera? It covers a big portion of the screen. I'm wondering if there's a way to disable that stupid message. I think whoever wrote the software for these things, they did a fugked up job and should be fired.

    Side mirror dimming / tint

    I'm looking for a solution to relieve the glare from the side mirrors. I wish there was an auto-dim feature for the side mirrors but I can't afford to get a BMW or a Benz. I noticed that some cars have blueish side mirrors and I've read in a few places that this OEM feature helps reduce some of...
