    I have neither in Canada haha. I doubt it's this as it all electronics work perfectly once the car is started and battery voltage doesn't go down. It just measures as 12.3-12.6V at the battery so I figure it's something with the circuit from engine bay to battery.

    I've always wondered if the zhp spare would fit over a big brake kit on the front wheels.

    What spare, the donut? Only the rear style 135 clears the 1er BBK, but that wheel won't fit in your trunk

    Use the service menu in the cluster to read the voltage with the engine running. If it's not 14V it's most likely your alternator.

    Yup that's how I do it. But if it wasn't putting out enough voltage, my electronics would run off battery, yet this isn't happening... Hence my loose connection hypothesis.

    I'm confused. It's reading 12V at the battery and 14V at the cluster?

    Alternator will put out 14v to charge, so that's what you're going to see while the car's running.

    Nope 12V at both. But the cluster reads off the positive terminal of the battery if I understood correctly.

    At the very least it could be the voltage regulator attached to the alternator. A loose connection would be showing some more intermittent issues and frankly some not so friendly ones (i.e such as when you disconnect/connect your neg battery terminal).

    Any large chain parts (Napa, Carquest) stores should be able to test your alternator and battery.

    I can confirm this. :D
