Just bought a Pioneer AVH-5600BHS head unit, along with a dash kit and all the crap to wire it in. Can't wait to get bluetooth back in my car!

Between yesterday and today, I replaced the console lens...

(Old, for removal)

... placed some grating between the lower fascia and the AC condensor...


... and washed me beauty.




(I see I missed a spot. )

Can anyone tell me what these knobs are for on the bottom of the smaller (non-compartmented) section of back seat?

on my 2013 base, the rear driver seat has knobs on the bottom you twist to open up the underseat compartment

Right, I see that on the seat behind my driver's seat as well (and have already stowed some items there). These knobs are on the bottom of seat behind the passenger seat, as pictured above.

Hunh, I'll have to play with this some more. I'm not quite picturing what you mean.

They do look like they're made for hanging something, or maybe a tie-down of sorts. I was just wondering if there's any Official stated use for them, as they're obviously purposeful.

I put some spacers and a progress rear sway bar yesterday. I have to say, the sway bar has to be one of the first and best mod you can do to your fit. The difference is noticeable Instantly. I feel so much safer and in control now. Game changer! Highly recommend to anyone who still hasn't got one, to get one ASAP! Lol Btw Happy memorial day weekend to all my fellow fit freaks!

Thanks Waizz! Hey didn't you recently install a rsb? I thought I heard you mention something.. I'm ready for the canyons when you are Waizz..lol
I'm also expecting a throttle controller tomorrow. I've never used one before but sure looking forward having a lil fun with it. I hear sport mode can get a little crazy, but then again.. aren't we all a little crazy? Lol

Sorry I didn't order the rsb, I bought it from some guy on craigslist

finished up the wires runs, installing the amp and the fiberglass sparetire sub enclosure. Sounds great, but just some loose ends to finish up, mostly for aesthetics. I can't find anywhere to stealth this amp, as tiny as it is, so it's just sitting there. I may switch to an even smaller amp (nvx mvpa1), but it puts out maybe too much power for this sub? And it's $180 Also deciding whether to cut a whole in the floor and put a nice grill on the sub. We'll see

I'm not too into ICE, but what about mounting the amp on the back of one of the seats? Or if you wanted to get a little more involved, bet you could take off all that plastic and mount it somewhere behind those shock tower covers.

:-\ no luck, first place I thought of. Too tight behind panels.

Tried that too, also tried the hidden compartment underneath the rear driver's side seat. Amp is millimeters too big, and then the wiring coming out of it kills all chances. I will be mocking up that other amp, the NVX which is supposed to be only slightly bigger than an iphone
