I had already changed the control unit from a previous wheel I had, this one was a present from the wife. Took all of 10mins to change.

I'm sure your service engineer will be happy If I find out I'll let you know, as you have the sport pack it should just be a question of coding.
I think the wheel is from suncoast, my wife isn't saying!

New battery, AGM from PepBoys as recommended on here. Having the warm start issue, but my indy didn't find any voltage drop and the starter he was hesitant on replacing. Seeing as my battery was wrong one with low CCA and had a cell out, I elected to start there.

Also switched over to Motul from Mobil 1.

Ran my hand over the car cover longingly on my way to get the snow shovel. GMC Seirra for this weather.

Hmmm....is he bleeding the brakes with the wheels on? And, is that a wrench between the wheel spokes? Not in my garage!

Had the last of my leather pieces added to the interior. The scratched plastic door handle surround looked worn and cheap. I like the leather surrounds much better.

Johan my OPC does it that way as well, what doesn't make sense is that they changed the pads why not do the bleed then?

Suncoast states that you have to order a new airbag. Were you able to reuse your old one?

I have a sand interior so I was also worried that the alcantara would contrast too much. I have ordered black floor mats as they are easier to keep clean and there is some black trim and buttons on the dash.

Does anyone one have pictures of an alcantara or black steering wheel in a sand beige interior?

Thanks!

Mike I used my old airbag and in old I mean the one that I installed when I changed my wheel from the triangular one to this one:
