    Replaced Tag Light Bulbs

    Today I replaced my tag light bulbs on my Platinum. It was not fun as the old incandescent bulbs will not come out easily. I tried wrapping them with tape and pulled with everything I had. I ended up having to break the bulbs and pick out the remailing glass with a tiny flathead screwdriver...

    LED strip added on front under hood

    I decided to experiment by adding a new light strip on the front, since some new vehicles have it. It was a simple install, as the strip was self-adhesive. I used a fuse tap, to tap into the fuse panel on the passenger side, so when the lights come on and go off, it follows them. The strip was...

    Increased performance after disabling TCM learn.

    I read about disabling the TCM learn feature, using Forscan. I was having some weird shifting issues, so I decided to try it. Now, my vehicle has much more low-end torque, shifts faster and tighter and downshifts instantly when rapid acceleration is needed. It feels like I had custom tuning...

    I'm in Florida, so it gets really hot in the summer and other seasons as well. I was not able to open the moon roof in the daytime because the heat coming in would defeat the A/C. Also the heat coming in from my windshield was also doing the same thing. My black dashboard was untouchable. I...
