The reason I painted it was because the original looked to plastic-y and cheap....Once I put in the AVIC, I think it will look totally different as well. It make the AVIC look more stock as well. I think I went to far with the Side vent surrounds and Window controls, but since they are...

joey -- Thanks for you help aagain (as well as Petkel, and others). I have a couple items for sale in the "for sale" board. If you need any of those items, let me know. It's on me. Thanks!

Still debating whether or not to keep the wood grain pieces or to paint those black as well. At first I thought the two would compliment each other very well, but now I'm not so sure. Please be honest!!! (PS I painted the bezel for the nav because I plan on getting the new AVIC soon, that's why...

and looked what I found!!!!!!!!!!??????????? looks to be an easy fix..

guys, you don't understand how much I appreciate your help. Thank you so much. I will let you know what happens when I try the hammer trick

joey thanks for all your help. can u guide me to where i can find the valve? Throttle body?

My warranty just expired 200 miles ago (75k) too and I brought it into the dealership right before the 75k. If I bitch to the dealership, do you think I can get it covered still? I hope it's not something they saw or could have seen and just didn't want to fix.

You got it. If I keep my foot on the pedal, it would go, but as soon as I let go of the pedal it would stall, pretty much immediately. It seems like it can't hold a RPM. If I were to just start the car without revving the engine, then it would stall immediately as well.

Actually, I take that back, because it does turn on......Maybe the engine isn't getting enough fuel.....Would that cause the check engine to go on (fuel pump/fuel injector/fuel filter)?

Do you think it could be my battery? I've had problems lately with my battery dying relatively quickly (door open for 5 minutes and I have to jump it). I think I definitely need a new one regardless.

It's a V8 (LSE).....Would the check engine light be on for that piece? I have 76 Miles until empty.

Terrible: I was just driving home from work with no problems in sight. I decided to stop at the ATM by my house to get cash for the week. When I go to turn my car back on, it turns on.... then immediately TURNS OFF!! It's like the engine isn't getting enough juice for it to stay on...

I'm not sure if the newer AVICs need to be bypassed like that. I think it needs to be hacked by going into the unit itself. not sure though.

Just picked one up at a salvage yard for $20. perfect condition to!! Going to paint it this weekend. Wish me luck
