    TPMS Warning Light

    Been blinking for a bit and tire pressure is not the issue. How do I troubleshoot which one(s) are bad or better yet, is there an easy way to eliminate/turn off? Black tape always works but looking for other alternatives.

    Connecting Double DIN DVD Player to Gen III OEM drop down DVD Monitor

    I'm exploring replacing my head unit with a double din unit and relocating climate controls lower. Currently I have the OEM DVD player which frankly, with a 3 yr old and a newborn is a valuable asset. I have not pulled the DVD player out yet to see how it is wired/connected to the monitor but...

    285/70/17s on '06 OEM Rims

    It's time to start planning mods, probably starting with tires since my 265/65/17 Cooper AT3s are noisy and cupping do in part to the previous owners lack of tire rotation. I've searched and I haven't heard any discussion about plus sizing tires on the stock 17s. Just curious is there would be...

    Gen 3 Antenna Motor Replacement

    Yes, I searched! I am in the process of replacing my motor. I got the motor out but was surprised the antenna cable does not disconnect at the motor. Does it actually run all the way through the firewall to the back of the radio? Do I need to pull the radio to unplug and fish the cable of the...

    DeLorme InReach (original) vs SE

    So I'm in the market for a used DeLorme and was wondering why I would buy an SE over the original, assuming I'll be pairing it with a device. I did a search and looked on google a bit and can't determine if there are major differences other than the all in one feature with the screen. Love...

    Nexus 7 16gb for $40...should I?

    Opinions please. Ran across a local Nexus 7 16GB for $40 and is obviously a good deal. But will it serve me well...more worried about the 16GB with no microSD storage. Looking for a small tablet GPS set-up for my Monty and will probably run GAIA.

    So the time has come with a second child on the way that I'm going to need to gain some storage up top since we haul our 60lb dog with us a lot.

    GEN 3: No Compression?

    I mean, why not, let me '06 drama continue. Before I get into it, I'm a bit discouraged at this point. Searched for a year, found a clean Gen 3 with great service records and now this. So what is this? You can see my previous threads below but all has been well recently. Driving and running...

    Multiple Fault Codes...Thoughts?

    So, some of you remember that I had some drama weeks back with a no start condition (thread link below). My '06 has been running fine since but did get a a CEL the other day. Finally scanned it today via Torgue and these are the codes it's reading. I haven't reset them and ran it to see if...

    How important is rear fan control - Gen 3

    I've been on my never-ending quest (seams like!) for a Gen 3 and I just ran across a very intriguing 2003 Limited but noticed it seems to be one of the few with our rear A/C controls.

    What's Your Assessment on This Little Rust - Gen III
