Random Little Question Thread
Smart remote insert key
What is the purpose of the insert key in the smart remote for the 06+ models. I have an 04 g and swapped to the smart remote. I would like to cut the key to operate the ignition.....door. Does this key need programming?
Personally, I think the used Brembo prices are a little steep.
$1k in decent shape with like-new pads and rotors is decent, but $1k needing paint, or without good pads/rotors is too much.
Just my opinion, seems like people pay it, so dunno. But these are brakes that are 08-10 years old now. I think it's kind of silly to spend that kind of coin on them. Again, Just MY opinion on it.

After reading this i don't want it anymore lol. I know its your opinion, but it makes a lot of sense since an 03-07 ne w brembo are 1400 with rotors
Do I have HID headlights
This may be a dumb question, but I am a truck guy and new to actually doing anything with cars newer than the 50s. I was wondering if the box indicated by the red arrow means that I have HID lights on my car? I was looking to replace the headlights and saw 2 options. One halogen and one HID. Obviously the HID is much more expensive and I was wanting to confirm what I have before I pull the trigger and buy a set.
Thanks,

Haha, yes that looks like an HID ballast. IE you have HID headlights.
And you're still running a used setup, it's silly. I just got Akebono's with 14" drilled/slotted rotors, good pads, Stainless lines, caliper adapters, etc, all BRAND new for under $1700
Same goes for the superchargers, you can buy a new V2/V3 Tuner kit for $3800. Most guys price them out at $3000-4500 and you have no idea of that units history, more often than not, these items have been through multiple members already!
If you need a full kit used is a great place to find a bargain on the SC though.
