Anyone have experience on hardwiring the Valentine radar detector? I'm pretty sure I can do it, but any help would be great appreciated.

Hey Ya'll! Anybody here have a used JB+ they want to get rid of? I'm thinking of selling my JB4. Getting tired of taking it out for service.

Have you checked out the channel line up? Sounds good, but it is actually pretty lame. I listen to more of the local stations HD2 and HD3 channels (no commercials) more then I use my satellite radio.

It's not hard, my ex did it himself on his E55. :P

I'm guessing you just need that long phone line looking crap. Pull the part of the headliner off, a pillar thing off, and run it along down the side, or something. Or what side of town are you on? I'll ask him to do an install. He needs the extra cash.


Edit: nvm, he's being a little dick wad.

Anyone know where I might be able to get some 3m Di-Noc here in Houston? Thinking about wrapping my steering wheel trim. Thanks!

PYSPEED has it but not sure if anyone has it locally. Why just the wheel?? DO IT ALL!

If you had told me earlier I have left over matte black fabric and I would have brought it with me when I gave you the tail lights! Do you want some just for your wheel?

Mine are the Orion V2s from Umnitza. You saw them already.

I love my alum trim too much to do it all I need to either follow the DIY to repaint the trim on the wheel or wrap it. Was hoping there might be somewhere local I could snag some but will order if i need to!

I have the Lux H8's in mine. They are okay during the daytime, but look a ton better at night. If I had the desire to spend alot of money on angel eyes, I would definitely get the OSS or LS3's.

I'm not real big on the LED Halos. They look OK at night but during the day its like tehres nothing on. Tried the LUX, RB, and Cityvision adn to be honest they were all crap. Some of them even triggered codes even though it said they wouldnt. If you have a Coupe or LCI sedan I would suggest going with the Alpine HID's. They are bright as $%&* and can be seen during the day as well as night.

Dude, can we meet up sometime soon? I really want to see your Alpines since I'm considering Camaross' which uses the same bulb but different ballasts.
