Disconnected Theft Alarm Horn?

Also, I see other people talk about the front lid liner... What is the need for this? If something happens while driving and the stuff in my frunk gets thrown so violently into the lid that it causes damage, I'm going to be more worried about the rest of the car if it was that big of an incident. 🤷‍♂️

It's actually to protect in case you pile something in that may be a little high and when closing could hit the top of the frunk. Given it's paper thin and will deform easily it makes sense; and is of course endorsed by siberian as are the wind deflector, PIWIS, radiator grill protectors and a seat belt wrap to protect your jugular....

I was surprised by the sound difference in sport mode after the M tune with the stock exhaust

Is PIWIS available to us at a realistic price point that's not an unapproved/unauthorized Chinese knock off?

The geniuses at P Design deemed it unnecessary to provide a seat belt height adjustment mechanism...thus to avoid having it slice your throat they sell this

Amazon Amazon

probably the same guys who decided to save a micro ounce by eliminating the AM radio, installing a shaver and designed the BMS system.

Ohhh yeah I see what you mean now, definitely some pure genius went into the seatbelt design LOL
Sometimes its a little annoying when I open the door tospit on the ground like they do in Dune, and the seatbelt digs into my neck, I might have to get one of these....

As mentioned "approved by siberian"...

To add to the list of (for those who remember) The Fickle Finger Fate Award:

* No memory for heated steering and seats when engine switched off
* No washer in rear wiper
* The Homelink idiocy (give us back the overhead buttons)

...

Still happy with it after a month, and my wife says it looks OEM.

What Homelink idiocy? Mine pops up when I arrive home, I tap it, I'm in the garage... works pretty well for me.

I think pre 22 cars aren’t as easy to use. 22+ cars can just set the diamond button to open the garage and on prior years it opens a prompt on the screen only.
