I just wanted to share my experience with the club so far.
-Learned how to install AUX cable. Bought it for $16 CAD off ebay and successfully installed it. I drew my cord out to the driver side and tucked everything in nicely. cord is long enough to reach driver side door where I have my phone holder on the little window and long enough to reach passenger side.
-My car was GT-P.
-9 speakers mystery. I only counted 6 plus sub, so 7 in total. Found out they count door speaker as 2. I still don't understand why they count that as two. Why put a speaker inside a speaker?
-I had 17" wheel all this time when it was supposed to come with 18". Now I am searching everywhere for OEM 18" though I like the look of 17" as painted black.
-I'm supposed to (?) have two 12v outlet. Some said after 2007, they took it out. I have one by climate control and nothing inside center compartment. Just a black plastic circle cover. Will pop it this week and see if everything is prewired so I can install 2nd 12v outlet.
-Found owners manual online. My owners manual in my car was in French for some reason. I could not read any so only looked at pictures to figure out what it was saying. Now I printed off entire English version and read all of it.
-I found out that I was missing a left side Front Axle No.1 Crossmember nut and bushing. uh...yea I didn't have it. Found out while reading service manual under my car. Went to autowrecker, yanked it out and installed it.
-I was missing more things. No front air guides, undercovers, wheel covers, seat rail cover, nuts and bushing here and there, etc. Yea...I drove it like this for over a year all happy gogo. Again, went to autowrecker and yanked everything out and replaced.
-My speedo was off by 10km/hr +. Didn't even know why and didn't try to fix it when I got the car. Now I know it may be due to the 17" rim.
-There are so many mods I can do to my car to enhance the look or performance. Im not a car guy. My car came with an aftermarket exhaust, black aftermarket spoilers, black rims and blue painted calipers.
-I had auto dim rear view mirror. I clicked it once and it went dark.
-I can adjust my seat up and down as well, not only forward and backwards. When I got the car, it had this bar on the side. Didn't even know what it was.
-My car had warranty. (or what's left of it). My car has deep rumbling and grinding noise coming when I steer right only and accelerating. Thankfully, I still have powertrain warranty and I am going in tmr to get it checked out.
-TPMS problem are common I guess. You only have two options. Pay couple hundred dollars to fix it or but a black tape over it. I hate how my car has check engine light for P0421/31 and TPMS light, but I guess I have to live with it now.
There are few more but I can't remember them at the moment. I feel bad as I've only learned things but have not contributed in anything thus far. Hopefully when I figure something out, I can start helping out other members.
