    Using Heart Radio w/ MyLink

    I remember reading a post with instructions on how to use I Heart Radio with MyLink but have not been able to find the post. I know there is no symbol for it in the window with the Pandora, Stitcher, TuneIn, and BringGo symbols on my MyLink. Laborsmith

    Pandora or Sticther or TuneIn?

    Having reached the point of being tired of the XM-Serious renewal hassle, I have been looking at the three grayed out icons on my MyLink screen. BringGo is in color which allows me to use it. I only want to go with one, and TuneIn looks like the best for me but I am not well acquainted with...

    RE: Trifecta tune on a naturally aspirated

    RE: Trifecta tune on a naturally aspirated This is the second time I have opened this thread today. Is there any good reason a genral question has to be linked to a specific vendor? I think not. Is there any reason to play these games. Apparently there is and so we go. The first thread I...

    RE: Trifecta tune on a naturally aspirated

    RE: Trifecta tune on a naturally aspirated Following up on the PREMATURELY closed thread: the moderator links to a very long and very convoluted thread in a VENDOR's section. This thread has very little information that addresses the original question. As in the past, if this thread is...

    Can I Use the Wheel Spacers While Lowered?

    Question: I have the DDM wheel spacers and planned to put them on with the lowering coils but chickened out at the last minute. Can I put them on the rear only or if I use them would they need to go on front and back? Laborsmith

    Phone and Plan Suggestions Needed

    I would like to use BringGo and know a smart phone is needed as well as a dealer update. Do not see the dealer update as a problem but choosing a phone and a plan has proven to be. I am not a big user of a cell phone, or any phone if I can help it, and the plan versions I have studied defy my...
