Re: Show Your System

Or you could just ditch the whole iPod/iTunes thing and get a android phone (native flac support) or of you want a player look at iAudio, much better play back and flac support.

Stumble and quit on startup.

I have a 2003 3.0 flex fuel. Lately it has started to stumble when first started. I'm not sure if it's a miss or fuel problem. Basically I'll get in, start it up and the engine with jump and stumble,...

Re: Show Your System

The new BT protocol is lossless, a few phones support it but I haven't seen a head unit with it yet. Once that happens though ,game on, no need for wires anymore.

Re: Headlight restoration. No kit required

Op you will be doing this again soon. Your lights have lost their UV protective layer and will yellow again in a few months, just a FYI.

Re: gas price check

The key is to find out what it costs per mile. For instance I may lose mileage with e85 on my ranger but because of the price difference it actually costs me 3 cents per mile less to use e85 than it...

Re: 2013 MODEL PIONEER AVH-X1500 DVD Double Din

Just what format are you converting too to get 320kbps lossless? Just curious as I've never heard of such a low lossless bitrate.

And as far ad iTunes goes, its not bad but it is huge and cludgy....

Re: Show Your System

Loud does not = good IMHO. SQ is more important.

Re: Show Your System

You will see some difference, but upgrading the speakers will give you a bigger difference than replacing the head unit. The stock speakers suck really bad.

Re: Rims need some help!

The "plastic" is the clear coat put on the rims so you don't have to polish them. The white spots are where salt or other corrosives have gotten under the clear coat and are eating the aluminum....

Re: gas price check

Not at 90cents per gallon difference. I come out ahead using the e85. You have to calculate your costs per mile to figure out if the mileage loss is worth it or not.
