Not going to get all too excited just yet... but I just got a hold of an Alpine X009-GM unit for less than half the retail cost (brand new in the box), once it arrives and is installed I'll be more confident about the "deal" I got... good things rarely come without a hitch lately so we'll see...
Oh, also, the only other pain in the ass with the door corner pod wasn't routing the wires, but rather getting the rubber accordion style door grommet back in place and in tact properly... took a lot of patience...
Thanks man, took a LOT of work (mostly trial/error, quite a few prototypes and wasted trim pieces and tons of sanding) but totally worth it in the end, in my opinion the fitment, position, access and clean look are perfect. The steering column location was great really, and a lot less hassle...
Thanks man! Really appreciate it! Hope to knock a few key goals out soonish then kick back and enjoy it thoroughly, less a few set backs (broken stuff etc etc), but hell, life does not care about your plans!
Those headers are making me drool by the way... pure quality craftsmanship there. Pre-family I wouldn't think twice about em, but with the little ones etc etc, I didn't even want to go with the corsa sport but rather the touring... so I guess the trade off is no headers and the sport, bummer...
Decided to stick with the corsa exiting from the stock escalade premium tips, so up for sale now are the additional set of exit pipes that come with kit P/N 14886. Dual 4.5" Dual Rear Exit Pipes, Polished. These things are beautiful and beefy! From what i've researched, most exhaust shops can...
My factory radio took a dump, attached to it and working flawlessly is a Barracuda module which allows you to operate the DVD, nav entry and ipod selection functions while in drive. I may be going the aftermarket radio route and if I do so, will no longer be needing this module. It was...
does anybody have the factory radio (dvd/nav/32gig-2012ish) part number handy? trying to do an ebay search and im coming up with all kinds of pure garbage!
My stock head unit just took a dump, and I've been quoted at $1600 for a reman swap... kinda makes this unit somewhat worth it...
So far any issues? Gripes? Cons?
Are you able to plug in an external hard drive (for example a 3 TB WD Passport) and play movies from said hard drive??
My stock radio/head unit took a frumpy... got real loud for a split second, then blanked out... no screen no audio nothing, all it does now is make a clicking sound every 6 seconds or so, sounds like a hard drive trying to boot up, or a disc reader cycling across its track... so i removed it and...
Bad dood! You are on it! Radio isn't doing anything (blank screen) but every 6 seconds ish you can hear it trying to boot up... kinda sounds like a hard drive ticking or trying to fire up... specmo has it on their bench right now, but it's tricky since its a denso unit, not very serviceable I...
And family is doing great (thanks for asking). Little guy is up every 3 hrs still (used to broken sleep as a full time firefighter, but it definitely takes a toll!) Other than that everyone is healthy and happy!
Yeah, stock radio... was occupied with the family etc etc, left the damn sunroof open, it rained a bit, everything was surprisingly fine... except the radio...
Running MAF, stock magnuson tune, stock magnuson boost level... if I go to 8 lbs I can replace the magnuson pink injectors with my...
Hopefully eventually... keep having set backs... I'm currently without a radio, specmo says $1600 for an exchange... don't wanna drag it till I up the boost and have a better tune... kinda wanna go through the trans, but that's not 100% necessary just yet (knock on wood). How about you?
Just an update... I threw on the corsa system, and hacked up the bumper that got rear-ended so I could at least enjoy the exhaust while the body shop was waiting on parts... sounds awesome, zero drone, very aggressive at cold start, polite yet powerful otherwise. She's been in the body shop...
All of this is awesome! Keep us posted man.
Also, if you need any help with the SCT pinout/wiring to log (etc) a wideband, it's all VERY fresh with me right now.
Bad dood! We'll have to hook up and play around with it sometime. I'm doing the exhaust myself, it's just that the body shop is expecting it to be on, as I promised them zero hassle with the esky bumper swap, that was part of the deal... if it does not ship tomorrow and arrive Saturday/super...
Everything but the exhaust from Corsa... I called yesterday (expected ship date was 05/17 - 05/19) a lady there said they were running a few days behind because it's their "busy season" (I ordered and paid for the system on 05/05)... she also took down my phone number saying she would call me...
