  1. Over here, all databases are linked, so a cop drives around and their dash cam automatically picks up vehicles with missing insurance or of some of the registered users of the vehicles is somehow interesting for the cops or anything really. Plates are mandatory, front and back, so you can't drive even a mile without.
  2. T0astervan, you don't need to pick a fight in every thread.
  3. yw, I have a generic wireless charger (high quality nevertheless) with adjustable clamps so you can use any phone in it. It's a bit different with a plug in charging port, needs to align perfectly.
  4. How long does the warranty process take?
  5. Are you sure there's no yellow panic release in the inside?
  6. Did some research here, you name really has multiple meanings (quite funny ones) beyond just being a Korean name. Internet is good.
  7. Heh, I thought you were Asian :D
  8. We have just found what the missing button placeholder is for (y) I have one notch higher trim level (same radio but with Bluetooth and USB) and my TCS OFF is software based.
  9. Not only that. The higher wattage bulbs had some more disadvantages: hard on wiring/plugs (my Taurus melted contacts and switches even at legal wattage) heat damage to plastic lenses, developed haze over time nordic climate only problem: thermal shock damage to lenses/clusters when plowing into a snow bank
  10. You pair your iPhone with the head unit. You say "Siri, call <person name>" Once done you press the hang-up button on the steering wheel. It doesn't get any more intuitive than that. Forget about replacing the sync system, it turns on, plays radio, plays Bluetooth audio from your phone etc.
  11. Not quite - Civic FD2 stability control is one of the best I've ever experienced, it's quick and almost impossible to run off the road dodging an animal, fishtailing or in a similar situation.
  12. There are no parts beyond front subframe that could interfere with snow or anything.
  13. I mostly use the camera just for backing up to a trailer. Normal reversing always includes mirrors, otherwise you can't see someone approaching from the sides.
  14. No, still waiting for the OEM-look cameras to pop up in aliexpress, not yet available for the new model. I had the number plate light camera in my Mk1 van. It was nothing special, worked ok.
  15. The headlight clusters are not designed for p'n'p HID or LED (HID projectors are not reflector dependent, just need a clear lens). The best legal and cheap option is to get a set of Osram Nightbreakers and be done with it. The factory halogens are yellowish and I'm going to replace them when it gets darker. Have had Nightbreakers in every halogen-equipped car I've had. Big difference.
  16. I had WS70 for one winter, too soft for me. Really mushy handling. So right now I have the following (usually swap late November and back in March): TC 2012: Kumho WinterCraft WI31 studdable, I run them without. Toyota: Kumho I'ZEN KW22 studded. Both within acceptable handling and wear limits. No winter tires for my Ecoboost yet. PS: Nokian is Finnish.

    I'm amazed that the Astro survived daily use that long.
  18. I get it. The feature I am talking about is probably made for smokers for easy venting.
  19. I think a big part of the problem was Explorer's terrible handling. It drove like a cow on ice.
  20. Yeah, no bbcde support, this is one of those WYSIWYG fora. Use "Insert other media > Insert image from URL" to insert pics. Glad you joined us.
  21. The 2" down is some kind of vent feature. Had it in my Mazda. It took 30 seconds to disable it by the instructions in the manual. Check yours.
  22. Yes, Metris is called V-class here. Much larger than the Connect and it's available in luxury trims.
