Re: AUDIO GUYS!!! Amp/subwoofer questions!
Here are some basic things you need to do. Run new wires for all speakers. the factory set up used a common ground which is a mess. Ditch the factory head unit and amp all together.

Re: Radio power issue.
So there was a loose ground behind the radio. Fixed that for now. I think the issue with the aftermarket temp gauge is actually a voltage regulation issue based on how it responds to headlights or braking, it seems to not like change in voltage. I am going wire in a Linear voltage regulator and see ...

Re: WTB Drivers door lock cylinder
I just went through this last year.
I will look at the part number on the bag and post it this evening. It seems like the price went way up which would suck.

Post a pic of the part you have and I will see if I have the right one.
Also the dealer sells a rebuild kit for pretty cheap.

Re: VIN Decode to find build sheet
The US one is slightly different.
That one is possible to pull, but requires software that only certain employees have access to.

Our Hero!
Great news. Can't wait to hear how long it lasts.
I managed to grab a decent blower from the yard so I am set right now but I am definitely saving this for the future.

Did you protoype it in PLA? You could trim it easily if you did. Once it's right, use a stronger filament. I bought some HIPS to experiment with. I have read it makes for really strong parts that can handle the heat of an engine bay. Jose I have been rocking PETG for my car prints. Its got the best...

Would be pretty hard to run those lines.
You could install it without the AC part and just have a rear blower!

Converted a cheap eBay temp sensor to proper colors.

Now I need to figure out how to 3d print mount it in the expansion slots.
