    Dealer can't program pat key

    You are right, the dealership just called and said that jumping the starter did not work, the engine would crank but not turn on. They say they hope they'll get it going tomorrow. I guess for now I just have to keep using the wife's vw touareg...which I don't mind :-)

    Mirror heat wire?

    Thank you Skauber for the reply. The connector pic you posted is the same as what I have but the wiring is different. But it turned out that the heat is now working on my mirror. The defrost connector on my dash was not pushed all the way in since I installed an aftermarket radio. So now I...

    06 compatible aftermarket navigation?

    Update. I ended up buying a cheap chinese 2din generic android 4.4 system. So far I am impressed with the features and performance of the unit, especially for 239.00 shipped with free backup camera. The install was easy with the autozone harness adapter and a Bestbuy trim kit. Happy camper here.
