Maybe it’s just me/the way I sit, but my phone digs into my hip during clutch engagement. And I’ve been keeping my phone in my left pocket for over half my life now, so switching sides just isn’t happening lolQuote:

This, coupled with the fact that I don't want an aux cord traveling over my shifter and then into my pocket...Quote:

I don't think I have ever seen that clip in the door assemblies, and I can't find anything on RealOEM resembling it either. Have your doors been apart before? It looks like the hanger clip for my drills/impacts.Quote:

That too. The cord getting tangled with the shifter is why I relocated the aux from the sunglasses bin to the glovebox.Quote:

Aux is so 2005. [emoji23]
Bluetooth! Wireless FTW!

Any ideas on why I may be experiencing a concerning squeak coming from the trunk/rear end of my car when going over larger bumps and potholes? It's been too cold in the Chicago area for me to actually jack up the rear and investigate, hoping for nicer weather this weekend.
I know it's probably something to do with the suspension, but I can't help shake the constant thoughts of it being a subframe issue.
My suspension also tends to squeak going over bumps, it’s not too loud considering I don’t have any sound deadening in the back. Hopefully that’s normal.Quote:

Alright well that's good to hear, I tend to overanalyze every new noise that comes out of my ZHP, but then with my truck I just turn up the radio :biggrinQuote:

In a car, there is no discernible difference. Unless it's a Rolls Royce with unmatched sound deadening, it will sound exactly the same between aux and Bluetooth.Quote:

Not in the zhp, but a previous card i had (Saturn Sky) would sound like an old mattress when going over bumps while driving in the winter, then as soon as it warmed up (the weather, not the car) it went away. Had it checked out and was told it was the sway bar bushings, fwiw.Quote:

I did my center console and tray with Plastidip and am pretty happy with the results. The back portion with the ashtray peeled real quick though because my daughter likes to kick her feet around indiscriminately. Otherwise, everything holding together very nicely. I'll have to wait til the summer to see how it does in the heat.Quote:

With the battery nearing 10 years old it's time for a new one this spring. Is that something you just call AAA over and get you a new one, or a specific brand is better?
I would go on down to an Advance or Auto Zone and pick up an AGM battery. The size required is H7.Quote:

With Advance Auto, if you shop online they will often offer a % or money-off code to use with purchase. Buy online & pick up at the nearest store. Not sure if Autozone does the same.Quote:

Bring your old one in at the same time to have them recycle it for you. Hate when people don't properly dispose of used car equipment / fluids.Quote:

This is almost cheap enough for me to buy just to try it out. Wonder how much power the stock rear end can take.Quote:

E9x sport seats. Found some for less than it would cost to refinish mine and fix the heater elements that are not functional. I recognize that the sliders are not the same. But I am unclear if the harnesses match up or if the only way to power the seats is to wire them up separately from the factory harness.
Do our seats move back and forward when you first get in the car, or did mine spazz out moment? Tonight i had to move the car to change parking spots and clicked the unlock button once for the driver's door and when i got in, the seat moved back then forward, first time it had ever happened. In my 2003 pathfinder rust bucket, the seat moves back when i remove key from ignition then forward when key goes in, but this has not happened with the zhp so not aware of it being a feature.
Never had this in my car, I know newer cars have memory seats that adjust based on the key and from what I'm reading e46s have this function. I would look in the manual to see how to program the seats in case it is just that.Quote:

It is not supposed to move back and forward, only one direction upon unlocking. It goes straight to the set memory position and is not supposed to move when turning the car off. The only time it's supposed to move on its own is after unlocking the car with a key that has a different memory setting.
The only time I noticed the driver seat moved by itself was when I test drove my first e46, 1999 323i. I unlocked the door with the key itself, not by pressing the fob buttons. I thought that was pretty cool.
Interesting you mention the key. I had been using the spare for the last couple months and right before i went out I decided to switch back to the primary one, so this was my first time using it since i switched to the spare. This morning and afternoon nothing happened so may have been a 1x thing.Quote:

It was going to the memory setting with your primary key. Happens if you switch keys.Quote:
