Guys, I just read that IOS5/6 has issues with reconnecting to bluetooth devices. That why you have to manually reconnect the iphone every time. Once this issue gets resolved, then I will think about getting an iphone 5.

I concur with this statement. Samsung Galaxy S3 is hands down the best phone on the market right now, get one of those. You won't be happier.

Dont worry guys. I have an HTC Vivid 4GLTE and I love it. I was referencing the people that wanted the music gateway to work as it should need to wait till the Iphone gets that issue fixed.

JL is not the best sounding. Just the best marketed.

Sarge not hating on your set-up, just sayin.

Got my TPMS switched to the new rims, and changed the brake pads to Wearever ceramic. 0 Brake Dust!!!!

The pads were purchased through Advance Autoparts. They were the same as the Mercedes AMG. I read some good reviews on them through serveral boards, and said what the heck. They were $90 for fronts and back. Ill tell you guys, I have been pounding these, and the grip is incredible, no noise what so ever, and absolutley no brake dust on the rims after a 500 mile trip to Orlando and back. I highly recommend them! You cannot go wrong.

Part No. CNAD 1365 Fronts $51.99
Part No. CNAD 1366 Rear $45.99



I almost thought it was a misprint... I went ahead and ordered 2 sets of everything!

I just bought those brake pads and wow, for the price it almost seems to good to be true. Then when I put them on earlier I was amazed. 0 brake dust, 0 squeaks and great stopping power. Definitely beats the oem pads that lexus charges close to 400.

I agree. JL's sound great, but I think RE, Ascendant Audio, Fi, or Sundown Audio are better choices in terms of sound quality, durability, and longevity.

I finally got through this entire thread, great job! Sad to see your letting the F go but that's life. Who ever picks it up will have a nicely built car. Good luck with the sale!
