mtsmiths Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Stayed in and kept warm this weekend, putzing in the garage ... Rub strips on the roof (howcome these don't come from the factory any more?). GPS mount that folds into the cubby when not in use ... once I figure out how to get the console fascia off I'll hardwire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Nice! The rub strips are great for carrying stuff on the roof. erm...is it just me, or is that an airplane in your garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. 1) Not until we either move to an 'inspection' state (not bloody likely), or the crack runs sideways and interferes with vision. 2) The Pretty One bought those in Hawaii, her last Subaru was 'Honu', Hawaiian green sea turtle. 3) THANKS! 4) http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N26HR.html Should be flying it again late spring. Now porky, where did that 'flying' emoticon come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 OK, how do I remove the control panel fascia on the current gen? Also, any place handy that can be recommended to borrow power for the GPS (draws almost nothing), or should I try and snake back deep into the dash underbelly? I have to leave the cigar lighter plug on the power lead as it has some current amending circuitry inside. I thought I would split open the plug and tap directly into the source leads to at least get rid of the prongs and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnlyfnd Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I would just tap into the lighter, either the close one or the lighter in the arm rest cubby http://www.jazzyengineering.com/product_info.php?products_id=48&osCsid=554d206fd79ecab5b8264a81cf27b466 -Has downloadable pdf w/ instructions for removing the radio.

Also a great product if want to play aux items w/ CD quality sound through the stock radio Dude, you got a plane in your garage! Thanx for the link Holy she yite ... I think I will just leave it plugged in. I wanted to not have a dangling wire, but for that much work, I just may leave it. We only use the thing on long trips at the end anyhow, and the TomTom has about a two hour battery life, so maybe I don't even need the plug if I charge it before we go. No .. I WISH I had an airplane in my garage ... I have a 'project' in my garage. Maybe this spring I can turn it back into an airplane. Since it's my airplane in the nice toasty heated garage, naturally my car sits out in the sub-zero (-18 last week) temps. The rub strips came from the auto trim dept. at a local auto paint jobbers, $55.00 a roll .. I had nine inches (I wish ) left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
