It's difficult to describe, you gotta be firm yet cautious? I tried using a plastic trim tool but it ended up not having enough leverage to it so I just carefully pulled the whole thing off with my hands. It's probably not as delicate as we think it is.

Hardest part is getting the timing right when doing a reset of the infotainment and inserting the jailbreak USB.

Not really much expense other than the thumb drives to load the software. Personally I think it's a huge improvement over the stock layout. I can't say it's any more or less laggy than it was before the mod, I've never liked Sync3 or the touch screen compared to the Uconnect8 I had in my Charger.

Didn't notice that. Hitting the booze early.

It's part of a backup camera recall. There's a good chance it was never done on your vehicle. If the dealership has the parts on hand it will be quick, I got mine done during an oil change.

You mean rear swaybar? I've seen it posted here that the PIU swaybar is a couple mm thicker than non, but not as thick as an aftermarket like Steeda (which is 25mm I think). So yes, there is a difference.

Years back on my Pontiac G8 GT, it had a problem common among the model, the weep holes in the door were also the holes the push pins went in to hold the weather stripping on the bottom of the door. They were notorious for getting clogged with junk. Every now and then, especially after a lot...

Can you connect that device to another device via Bluetooth? Aside from a phone.

If the turbos started to leak, they'll continue to leak. Other causes could be bad valve seals or bad compression causing oil blowby. Of those two, since you only see the smoke on startup, it'd likely be the valve seals. Constant smoke while driving, or puffs of smoke when taking off from a...

Glad it worked out but damn all those mislabellings is still a little concerning.

Are you talking about this?

Lot of carpeting choices on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Flooring-Carpeting/b?ie=UTF8&node=15710161 You can also get yourself a cargo mat instead, that will keep that cover in place. They're pretty cheap for off brands and even cover the back of the 3rd row seats.

Is there any reference material, or list of PIDs and their values for Forscan Lite, or at least a list of useful PIDs? There is an overwhelming amount of them.

Can't speak about the time duration, but the only issue I've had with maps, whether waze or Google, it sometimes crashes after using the reverse or forward cameras. It just says it failed to load retry and tapping that the map comes back up like nothing happened.

Gotcha. I was leaning towards possibly an HVAC blend door actuator motor, being behind the dash could also make it sound like it's under the hood. Are you able to reproduce the noise with the hood open?
