Unfortunately, my original CIC is having power related issues and has now developed MOST issues (will sometimes take down the MOST bus/stop transmitting a signal to the combox). I can’t seem to activate the replacement CIC I have fully with nav/connecteddrive, and traffic updates have stopped broadcasting in my area. Plus with a 300GB Apple Music library, the combox sometimes has issues parsing what track is playing. So for the CarPlay functionality (Maps/Apple Music/Podcasts) plus the backup camera ability, it was a no brainer. Mr12Volt is the only option for me, uses MOST for a fully digital input. Plus you get the graphic equalizer too. I have the Individual Audio speakers paired with a PP82DSP amp, don’t want to loose audio quality! |

Sweet! I'm planning to retrofit the Individual Audio speakers and power them with an MS-8 + JL amp for the under seat woofers. Like you, I want to make sure my source is the best possible quality.

I've had to replace four tires in nine years because of the Nashville potholes, the fourth being mounted this afternoon. Funny, I had zero issues living in the Atlanta area for twenty years.

It’s just getting bad down here. Not nearly enough money spent on roads and schools… |

The DAC in the combox is pretty good, but FYI it cannot handle super high-res lossless (above 48Khz sampling). That’s the other difference - the Y-cable used for the MULF system still passes audio through Aux, so while you’re using the device’s DAC (if on an iPhone, a damed good one), it’s still an analog source. The Combox makes that interface digital. |

Got a pair of fresh 275/30/19 PS4S for the rears. Although initial turn in is subdued vs 265’s in the rear, definitely feels more planted mid turn and in long sweepers paired with 245’s in front (almost like adding a slightly stiffer sway bar). The fresh 275’s also just grips and goes in a straight line!

Just washed and waxed it. I'd compound the old paint then polish everything before ceramic coating it if we'd have four or five days without the threat of rain.

Edit: is it just me or did the app mess up the quote? Looks fine in edit mode. Odd.

Front hub kits. They were a pita, lots of heat and penetrant. Looks like they were due. Thought I'd see a different OEM but pretty sure these are original based on the date...

42cm euro spec warning triangle in my E90 LCI from aliexpress. DIY straps using velcro instead of forking $120 for plastic clips with a thin hinge! Velcro works even better. Looks great, and the triangle is of great quality too. Hopefully won't need to use it.
