    CP, they did. However, when I came back from Calif after the Christmas holiday I found the box out near the rest of the Christmas trash. Everything survived nicely.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    I hooked up the audio from my Costar Bluestar II to my rear aux, got my BT calling and audio streaming working now. Does anyone know if you can stop the radio from blanking out when you're stopped? I know it's switching over to the unused video in.

    I put the rat on my new jack stands so I can put the
    Read Eibach spacers on next weekend. I was under the car and the wife was asking what I was doing and she just batches about the car and the money and things I do to it. It pisses her off because it just sits and she thinks the money would be better to be spent on her ass. Fuck her it's my car she is clueless typical woman who could car less about nice cars. Her Caddy ARS never would get washed unless I did it. She could care less. Pisses me off

    I thought I read you can wire it in to the xm in instead... Is that not doable?

    I heard you can, couldn't find steps on where to tie in. The XM module is missing on my car also so it doesn't show up as an option on the radio. I just ran some RCA's up along the center console (getting them under that 12 inch section of carpet between the seat and the console was a PITA) and all is well.

    Finally got the stubborn G-Force axle stub out of the rear differential, but sheared off part of the C-clip inside while doing so. So I'll drain the oil and, if that little piece doesn't come with, I'll be dropping the diff and removing the rear casing to get it out. I figure to have a piece of C-clip work itself between the pinion and ring gears is probably a recipe for disaster that I'd prefer not to fully ponder. I'm thinking wheel lock-up, cracked diff casing, etc. So... yeah, it's gotta come out.

    Also finished putting the lighting back to stock. My custom DRL harness is out.
