One thing I would *love* to know- I want to increase the volume on the BT calls. I have set the phone to be as loud as it can. Changing the speaker volume does nothing. I rented a... Uhhhh... Chevy. I think it was an Impala. Anyway, it had BT. I paired my phone and could hear EVERYTHING! Very handy for a man whose soft spoken wife only gets louder when she's irritated. And who gets irritated when he asks her to speak louder.

Anyone on the BT volume?

You need to be on the phone. So while talking, when I press the volume buttons on the steering, it gets louder or quieter, if the baby is sleeping. But you have to be on the phone for it to increase volume, and only from the steering controls.

Hmm, the BT thing does suck. Maybe just get a Dice Media Bridge and be done with it. As for American Tire, all I can say is WHOAA? Quoted me $398.76 for Mounting, Balancing with roadforce and alignment. Yeah, no, more expensive then the dealer.

But did find a place 5 minutes from the house. $25/tire, with Road force balance, alignment and nitrogen filled (Which I don't care about) but anyways, all that $175.00. Now if he does a good job, then that is an awesome deal!!!

Yea do dice and forget about it. The price for Dice is less than the parts alone for the BT module and components. Then coding and all that shit. Go with Dice. Plug and play.

$400 for mounting and alignment. Ask them to send me some of that shit they are smoking.

I think they said Mesculine, lol. Well I guess air suspension needs to be replaced sooner than later. Went to the X this morning., front is slammed. Started her up, I can hear the air coming out, so now she is up on the stand and using the 4.4 for a little while. Ordered the new suspension from Arnott today.

Air doesn't last in the bags for mare that 5 hours now.

Nah keeping it the way it is. Just gonna replace the bags and be done with it. Slick, do I need to code the X to tell it has new bags or should it recalibrate itself?

I could swear I have done this and got nothing. My search on the problem also showed that others could not increase the volume. I will go play with it right away.

Welp. That didn't work. Called on one cell and answered with BT. No go on the volume control at the wheel.
