Re: HIDs are now installed

Wow, that looks fantastic! Please do post all the pictures you took while doing this, the result is very tempting. Also, some information about the parts you used (and where you got them from) would be appreciated, as well. TIA.

Re: Sub woofer "rattle"

In case you get a nasty noise from your sub (presuming your running the Rockford Fosgate factory system), you may have the same problem I had. There is a plastic cover over the voice coil that had "popped off" and was rattling around on the cone! The dealer has removed the cover (cured th...

Re: Sub woofer "rattle"

I'm considering replacing the factory sub with a better aftermarket sub anyway. The global back order issue definately shows this is a problem with the speaker itself. I asked the service rep if there's an issue with the speaker, won't we continue to have this problem with a replacement sub as well...

Re: Sub woofer "rattle"

Blown subwoofer was the diagnosis for mine, too. The service rep didn't even hesitate, he listened to it for 20 seconds and said he'll order a new one. He claimed that him trying to fix it (I suggested the plastic cover removal in the meantime) could question the validity of a replacement request, s...

I'm heading to the dealership tomorrow with mine and I was curious if it's the same cause for all these reported rat...

Re: Sub woofer "rattle"

Just noticed the rattle noise this morning (got the car less than 3 weeks ago). Sure enough, coming from the subwoofer. :-(

I guess a trip to the dealership is in order...

Re: License Plate

I had the same problem and ended up sticking a piece of rubbery sponge on the back of the license plate (and also took away the dealership frames that were having a deeper side edge, scratching the paint). I did the same on my other car (a Mitsubishi Outlander) that already had scratch marks from a ...
