Perfect thanks. Pop the hood and the coolant reservoir was bone dry. No smoke and the engine is running fine and no leaks so I guess a trip to the dealer is in order. Love how you hit 50,000 miles on a car and it starts to fall apart.

My spark is throwing a code about slow moving coolant, and I loose heat after about 10 min of driving. Anyone know what the normal operating temperature of the 1.2l is? I want to make sure it is not overheating. Thanks!

I wanted to mention as well that Metra has had multiple revisions of the 99-3309 bezel. I somehow got a first generation that fit like poo. It is easy to tell if you have the first or second. on the backside of the bezel, if it is flat and flimsy, then you have gen 1. If it is fairly rigid and had raised ribs all through he back, you have gen 2. My gen 1 fit so poorly, I emailed metra, and the immediately sent me a gen 2. Amazing customer service there! I will be fitting the new bezel today and will let you all know how much better it fits. I can tell you already the vents snap in rather t

From my reading I knew I was going to have to trim off about .25" off each side of the metra bezel. I grabbed a sharp xacto knife, flipped over the bezel, and slowly cut on the outside line of the trim. You will know what I mean when you see it. once that was removed, and after some very minor fitting, the bezel slid right over the deck. I had some difficulties wtih the bezel as I apparently received a first generation item that had some fitment issues. Metra was fantastic and sent me a new one with no issues. Just email their tech support, they are really quite good. By the way, it did com

Installation: The installation, was a bit of a pain. Getting the factory dash bezel off to get the factory radio out was not easy. The plastic of the dash is very soft, and the bezel is REALLY secure. It does just pop off though, so persistence is key. Once off, I unscrewed the 4 screws holding the deck to the dash, pulled out the FHU, and disconnected everything. I put the FHU away for safe keeping. Next I opened the Pumpkin HU box, and pulled out the wiring harness and started joining the massive harness from the HU to the massive harness from the metra kit. It took a while, but is no

Good Luck! I ended up going a different route -
I wouldn't do it. I just installed a Pumpkin Pure Android head unit that does everything I could ever ask it to, and does it very well. All in all, I have $475 in it, and It can tether off my phone for WiFi, has Bluetooth that allows your phone AND Bluetooth ODBII devices to work simultaneously (for Torque), full android Play store for apps, comes with a decent navigation app, but I now use Google maps or Waze. I also use Amazon Prime Mp3 and SiriusXM apps for music. It is a pretty slick unit. Only thing you need to do to fit the unit is use an xacto blade to trim the back of the Metra bezel

Anyone know how deep the crevice for radio is? I am looking at installing one of these and it is 176mm or 6.93" from the face to the rear: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PU14VKY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A35ICIJD64TUP8

Got our letter thursday. made an appt. for tomorrow...we shall see!! -
So i have had one of the LEDs low beam lights go out. Given what they cost, I was NOT thrilled. However, the seller has been quick to reply, offer assistance, and is sending me a new bulb ASAP. I am hopeful to get it next week. Lets hope that I get a bit more life out of this next set. As for the concern about the fans, they work fine. I have gone through one of those touchless car washes, and multiple puddles and they seem to stay dry. I'll post again when I get my replacement.

A/C problem figured out!! - See last post.

If someone would like to take a picture for me of the AC Fill port in the engine bay, I just happen to have a can in my garage, that I would be willing to top off my system with a few more PSI....
