I was messing with the INPA software I had just installed and somehow cleared the firmware on my MK 4 Nav. Downloaded V32 firmware and tried multiple times to load the firmware. Finally pulled the 4 out and put the original nav back in. Works fine. I'll figure out what is going on later.

Unpinned the old TB connector from the harness and put on a new one. Old locking tab was broken.

Wow, sorry to hear man. Do you have any vengeful ex-girlfriends hanging around? Do you live in the hood?

Sad that people still do shit like this....

That sucks. I feel violated just to hear about someone getting keyed.

Attached my front plate. Texas just passed a $200 fine for no front plate. I figure they will see that as an easy revenue generator for the first few months.

It has been in a duffel bag with some other emergency stuff that I carry with me.

I carried it 11 years in case I got stopped so I could show that I was about to install it.

So sad that Texas needs to resort to a revenue generator like enforcing front plate laws. It costs more 2 manufacture a set of 2 plates for the state anyway!

And last time I checked no cop pulls you over by coming at you head on, I still don't understand why they are necessary...

Tonight I fixed a problem we've had with the X5 since we got it; the temperature control on the HVAC didn't seem to work. Finally got around to cracking open the panel above the pedals & found that the hose wasn't connected to the cabin air temp sensor. If I'd known it was that easy...
