The funny thing is -- I'm not a radio / music listener - in fact I pulled the radios out of my last 4 cars --

Yeah, tranny was slipping going from 3rd to 4th when cold. Wanted to see if it was caused by the tune. It seems better now but I'm still not certain the tune was at fault.

Nice job. Love the look. Unique and sporty w/o spending an arm and a leg.

Although I'll probably never turn the radio on --- it bothered me the factory antenna was missing -- :sadbanana:
Now I gotta shorten the adapter stud by a few threads & re-paint the base --
And the OBD-2 I got offa amazon doesn't work on the Sonic or Wifey's Trax --- crap !
Avoid this vendor --

P/S -- in a build thread I glanced at last night -- the front bow-tie was opened up to make a "flow-tie" -- why --- would it get plumbed to some thing out of the ordinary ?

98,000 plus miles on 2012 LTZ and check engines comes on with rough idle. Have FIXD on the OBD port and app tells me P0302. Replace original spark plugs with NGK iridium plugs and still runs rough. Replaced ignition coil pack and smooth idle. P0302 still appears but changes to P0300 after 2nd retest, then another test and OBD sends no errors and FIXD turns off check engine light. It was a good day thanks to youtube and FIXD.

Took less than 30 mins to do the upgrade and it looks, well, pretty nice white bright that only comes with higher end cars. Next LED bulb upgrade are the Low, High bulbs and Fog lights.

I used sylvania for mine. I also but in led blinkers with resistors to prevent hyper flash. Makes these look more premium

Nice! Do you have a link for the blinkers? I am considering going with an LED Amber & Red Switchback for the rear blinkers. It doesn't have a raving review but I will run a resistor and see how it works. Thanks.

I don't. I just went to walmart and bought red led bulbs for the blinkers and 2 of their resistor sets. 1 for front 1 for back since I have white led blinkers up front

Right on. I'll do the blinkers once I get the fog headlights upgraded to LED's.
