For all of you computer geeks out there..... Today's (11/9) foxtrot is GREAT!!! Just go to http://www.foxtrot.com and check it out!!!

I just installed one of those awhile back myself!! It is one sweet HU to be sure!!!I really LOVE the bluetooth. Much easier to talk on the phone now and drive, 'specially when I have to shift. Did you get the iPod adapter or anything like that, or just the stock HU???Here is my post... although I ne...

spoonman

BTW..... I the dimming does actually work once I enabled the display dimming on the HU... So much for being enabled by default. I am however still curious if any one knows what the actual power output is on the stock single CD HU though....Any one???

spoonman

Hey there everyone!!!I finally got a new HU for the Vibe... It is a Pioneer DEH-P980BT. I also got the iPod adapter with it. I can finally leave the ipod hidden away in the car and it sounds GREAT!! I do have a couple of questions though that a search through the forums didn't answer....1. Regarding...

Hey Nick!!Looks like you can still count me in, in fact, you can add 1 even. My wife wants to come along and hang out this year too! ragingfish: sorry to hear about the car. Why do people have to be so #@$%^$^ rude?!?!?! Anyway, hope you can still make it. Would be cool to see you again. My wife wou...

Hey Benny,Sorry for the delayed response. I do not get on here too much any more. Here is a thread from awhile ago, but it has pics of my Icom 207. Just look for my posts. Might be some other info there for you as well. Hope that helps a bit...Vern -- KC8YOHEDIT..... Oh yeah... the link... http://fo...

Hey Nick,Count me in as a definite maybe... Basically, unless something comes up, I should be there. At least for a few hours. Hope it cools off a bit though...

joatmon: good idea with the diodes.ragingfish: 2 diodes might do it, but I am guessing it will need 3. You figure that your battery should measure ~12V when the engine is not running, and ~13.8V or so when it is running. So with a difference of 1.8V, you might need the 3rd diode to get enough of a d...

spoonman

Mike,You could trying measuring the voltage on hookup wires for the deer alert and watch what voltages it "sees" as you go through the steps to activate the other mode. Then as joatmon hinted, once you know how much current it draws, you could figure out what the resistor value/s would nee...

Quote, originally posted by Kari Â»Damn...the Sportster lets you choose from anything between 87 and 108. Anything that limits the stations you can choose from, I haven't had good luck with, since they usually won't go down to the 87s and there is something on every low frequency it seems both here ...

spoonman

yup... Kari is right... the Roady2 has a built-in FM transmitter with like 10 different "stations" to pick from. It doesn't sound too bad compared to other FM transmitters I have used, but it still sounds better hooked up direct. The thing I found interesting with the Roady2 is that they t...

Yeah, I think I am gonna get the home kit for it now. I have had it turned on all day. .

Wasn't there some thing that you used to have in your signature that was some XM desktop thing??

spoonman

That's right!! I guess this is one of those "day after" sale items. Our Staples here in central OH has this price today and tomorrow. There were a few left at the store we were at this evening, not sure about others in the area. I figured it was cheap enough for an impluse buy!!!Check it o...

spoonman

Hey CP!! Glad to hear you are ok. You were the first person I thought of when I heard the news this morning. Hope others there are doing ok. That looks like quite a mess to clean up.....

spoonman

Mike,Can't they just order the stuff and call you when it is all in?? That way you are only without the car for a couple days for them to do the work?? That is what I had to do when I needed a new rear hatch on my vibe.Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Sweet ride though!! that is the same color as m...

Mike,Just thought I would say congrats!! My wife got a G6 GT a few months ago.... I really like it. Would you believe I haven't ven driven it yet. If I would have held off getting my Vibe for a few more months, i would have concidered it as well. Good luck, can't wait to see the pics and hope you st...

Check this out.....http://www.logicsupply.com/default.php/cPath/52They actually sell all kinds of neat stuff. All of the list displays should be for computer use, some have touchscreens, some don't. If nothing else, it will give you an idea of features and such and you can do some searching on ebay....

I too was lucky enough to get one of these filters. And MAN! what a difference it made. Much better air flow, and my allergies have been better... Thanks again for bring the "extras" along for us and glad you got to replace yours now!

I take it you were looking at other dealers around Columbus right??? MAG (Midwestern Auto Group) is the first one I thought of with those cars.... They have all sorts of stuff. Also has to be the WORSE dealer i have EVER been to. I have never felt so insulted in my entire life, but they do carry som...
