I personally hate crap like this.

Paul Walker was a self-made man of means who directed the fruits of his success to charity and betterment of the life of others. He passed in a tragic and dramatic fashion that has been the center of negative media attention for nearly a week.


Nelson Mandela was an admirable political figure who played a central role in the abolition of apartheid in S.A. "Life better for millions" doesn't quite paint the complete picture though. Crime is rampant in South Africa, and much like race continues to be an issue in the United States, it will take decades maybe longer for South Africa to recover from the rift caused by apartheid. In the meantime it continues to be a central focus in dealing with their poverty and social issues. Mandela set a country on a righteous path, but they are by no means out of the woods yet. He passed peacefully from natural causes and old age, surrounded by loved ones.


Armchair activists seem to love ridiculing other people for seemingly nonsensical behavior, but it's only nonsensical if you ignore critically basic details of the situations. Walker's death: untimely, tragic, dramatic. Mandela's death: peaceful, natural, expected. They were both good men. No one should be made to feel any shame for mourning either of them.


Staying on topic: Drove aggressively to get myself some In-n-out burger. Double Double w/ whole grilled. How do you like yours?

and good luck with the installation. :tup:

btw, make sure leave the "remote control" option on the HU at "on" otherwise the AWSC wont work.

programming the AWSC could be a headache, program the buttons manually, and be patience.

also, I am wondering why don't you get the handbrake bypass? it is very useful.


:tiphat:

I got everything wired up and installed today! The biggest surprise was after talking to Axxess and them telling me to switch the wires (pins 5,11 on the ASWC harness to pins 6,16 on the car harness as stated in the manual to pins 5,11 to 16,6. We had already tapped the wires from the ASWC to the vehicle harness so we decided to cut both wires from the ASWC to the car harness and butt solder the blue/gray to the red/gray wires and vice versa) I was able to auto program the buttons. They all work and I just used the auto program method! I have a non-Bose Z so maybe that's the diff.

In regards to the e brake bypass, everything I read about that with the Kenwood HU is that you just ground the green wire to the chassis which I did...I'll go for a drive tonight to see if there's any issue and update back here.

Here's a picture of my buddy, we just peeled off wiring insulation on the vehicle's harness to tap the ASWC wires in.

Bought this last night and just used it on my Z and my Fit

12 Volt, 100 PSI High Volume Air Compressor

Rears were at 30 on the Z and took it up to 35 in little over a minute, gas station air pump be damned!

I heard those are pretty stout compressors for their size.

Yeah I got a compressor for my garage and I never looked back!
So nice to be able to do air on my terms instead of waiting in line or driving up and the thing is broken.....AND took my money!

2 Horsepower, 29 gal., 125 Cast Iron Vertical Air Compressor
