I just looked up your model headunit. You should not have any problems just using the aftermarket adapter. If it was a DVD/Touchscreen/Navi/blah, blah, blah, or amped you may have needed to ground seperately, but I really think you will be ok w/o doing so.

Thanks for getting an answer for me. I ended up doing your suggestion but from tfb designs texted me this morning but it worked great and I'm very happy with the results and can't wait to get some time to run my amp wiring kit later and hook that up to the sub

Thanks again. Mod on!

I like that last one a lot. Now I'm thinking of where I can get a nice downtown pic like that. San Jose or San Francisco

Quickly removed too much dirt and debris, just to discover sooo many nicks on the paintwork. Then I finally succeded in exchanging headlights with Philips Xtreme. My hands are not that big but it was a real PITA to work in that tight space with that wire clamp...

ur pics make me cry inside. mt wife scarred up the bumper a couple of weeks after we got it and since it has picked up door dings and a couple of parking lots rashes(culprit remain at large even tho they work in the same building) so im pretty ashamed of her exterior wise. really wish i had enough extra coin to drop on having the bumpers recovered and the whole car resprayed. besides that...anyone know of a good interior auto glass cleaner that doesnt streak? everything ive tries so far has streaked pretty bad

best trick to clean windows. use invisible glass and either newspaper or white coffee filters to wipe it dry. it leaves no streaks at all. its all i use and will use. sounds stupid but once you try it, nothing else comes close

so it has obvious advantages for the 5 m/t. any ideas on whether its worth it for the a/t?

honestly, i think it would have some advantages. i was skeptical reading some of the reviews but it might be the best thing ive added to my car. the stuttering when starting is gone and shifting is night and day. i really think the difference could be felt on an auto, especially with the sport mode. the drive-ability just feels so much better. now having one, i cant imagine driving with out one. ppl worry about increased vibrations but i notice none with the ingalls. mounts to the block and then motor mount. i really believe its worth it. even if i had an auto i would go for one of these.

I drove it to school. then I found really good parking and parked my car where everyone could see my car. there was also a sliver GE with black rims and a roof rack parked on the other side of the street. I know our cars were talking. Its Fit Love.
