Welp big weekend ahead for my S60R.

Saturday: Coilovers are getting installed and dialed in. Switching my straight pipe exhaust out, for one with a muffler (boo hiss).

Sunday: Installing new Parrot Asteroid Smart radio. Admittedly I'm terrible with audio installs, so we'll see how this goes.

Kinja'd!!!

Anyone else have an Asteroid Smart? Any tips (other than rooting it) would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Oh and a little video for anything thinking of getting rid of their car:

What year? I have an '04 XC70 (AWD Wagons FTMFW) and I toy with installing a satellite-capable radio, but the thought of cracking into the dash give me hives.

As for the vid, I also have a 4wd Tacoma that I toy with selling (upgrading to a newer model), but...I...just...can't...I've had it for 14 years and it only has 237K; I figure I can reasonably see 300K.

It's an 04. Stock Hu-803 with GROM for the next few days. Pretty easy removal. Nothing to be too worried about. Check out iPd's video for removal tips.

Cool! Thanks for the vid...

Semi-Unrelated: Do you have the dual climate control on yours? If so, do you have any issues with it a) not blowing very cold, and b) blowing different temps for both sides? (e.g. when both nobs are turned all the way down, the passenger side blows a few degrees warmer than the drivers side). I'm thinking about getting rid of the dual climate control and just getting the normal HVAC controller, instead...not sure if the swap can be done, though..

That swap sounds like a major headache. That stuff is all tied into the car. But to answer your first question yes, I have dual climate controls, but I've never noticed if they are different temps. My side stays cold, the girl's side stays warm lol.
