Re: iPod/USB input Issues

I think it's more to do with the brand of the USB flash drive to be honest. I got a 16gb flash drive in my Sports AWD and it recognises and play my music fine. Oh man. Really?!?! Getting weirder and weirder. What year is yours? Mine is 2011, and I am referring to the 2010 users manual. I wonder if ...

Re: iPod/USB input Issues

if you read the owner's manual, it says "Capacity less than 4 Gig" in regards to the USB stick requirements.
Doesn't say 4 or less, it says less than 4. That makes me thing a 2 gig might work. Dunno. Not even sure if I can find a 2 gig anymore.

Re: Bluetooth Audio vs Steering Wheel Controls

Does anybody know if it's possible to choose a specific playlist using only the steering wheel controls? only way I've figured out is to press the USB button and hold it down more than a second, etc etc. a pain when you're driving.

Re: strange odor, and how to eliminate it

Another thought. I bought a used car once that had a "freshener" smell that was bugging the crap out of me. I finally located about 30 christmas tree air fresheners banded together up under the dash. To this day, I can not stand the smell of any fragrance, regardless. Good luck. Nice. Don...

Re: strange odor, and how to eliminate it

coolant level is about 75% full. so about 3/4 of the way from empty to full. I bought the on wednesday, so I've only had it for 2.5 days. If they filled up the coolant when they sold it to me, then it's dropped a bit. I'll how it looks in the morning. I'm quite sure that it only smells when the heat...

Re: strange odor, and how to eliminate it

I have a new suspicion. I noticed that when I turn the fan on...without the engine running...so the incoming air is NOT being heated....there is no smell coming from the vents. When I do this with the engine running and turn the heat up, I get a smell. So, after a little research, I think it might b...

Re: strange odor, and how to eliminate it

I am not sure but I think it might be stronger when the cabin fan is on. Hmmm... could be those air cond disinfectant spray, or something similar. If it is, is that something somebody just sprayed into the inlet vents behind the wipers, or are you suggesting it's something like a Febreeze disc actu...

Re: strange odor, and how to eliminate it

Well, it's very chemically. Almost sweet. I drove a buddy home yesterday and he said he thought it smelled a bit like walnut. But....not remotely rotten. I haven't replaced the mats. I am not sure but I think it might be stronger when the cabin fan is on. I am starting to lean towards a chemical cle...

Re: strange odor, and how to eliminate it

Not sure what they treated the interior with, if anything. That being said, I'd believe it's cleaning agent in a second. I think I'll do some tests and see if it's coming more out of the vents than the inside of the car. The coffee idea is pretty good....might try that. Also seriously thinking of th...
