  1. Cargo net is good for anything anyway but for fixing small objects: collapsible storage boxes, put male Velcro in the bottom and it would not move anywhere. These are available in different forms, collapsing sideways or from top down. You can also cover them with a cargo net for freeway. Random sample: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/lifetech/item/15061337/
  2. What do you want to tow with it? I tow light loads all the time, no problems. 10'x5' light trailer.
  3. I always crimp + solder everything. Professional cretinism, I guess.
  4. I asked the dealership to disable the door ajar/lights on. They refused as it's supposed to be a safety feature.
  5. Tervehdys, jrm223! We have a very simlar climate to Finland (being just 50 miles South. Nokians are very popular over here. I was just at my regular tire shop today for an oil change and asked for the latest suggessions for my needs - long lasting, good grip on ice and relatively hard compound (I drive south frequently). They recommended Michelin Alpin A5, so I'm gonna try them out. Around $/€100 a piece, not bad for a quality product. They also showed me Michelin's new All-Season tire CrossClimate. Supposedly the first all-season tire they would ever recommend. 50K mile lifetime and a severe snow service symbol which means good grip in actual snow. Not good for use on plain ice.
  6. 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.
  7. T0astervan, you don't need to pick a fight in every thread.
  8. 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.
  9. How long does the warranty process take?
  10. Are you sure there's no yellow panic release in the inside?
  11. Did some research here, you name really has multiple meanings (quite funny ones) beyond just being a Korean name. Internet is good.
  12. Heh, I thought you were Asian :D
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. There are no parts beyond front subframe that could interfere with snow or anything.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
