Brady

I am sure some would probably :icon_bigg

Don't tempt me! It's no secret that Kimmi's easy on the eyes.

Brady ~ Would love to help you out, however I have my own dating whoas. It isn't easy dating as a young adult, but try an almost 40 yr. old Mom with two boys. Whew~ can't say I'm beatin' them away with a stick. Sorry dude

You just need to find the right guys aparently!

Yeah, I know it's just that easy.

BUT ... there are still good guys out there. My ex-girlfriend never thought she'd find anyone interested in dating a 27 yr old single mom of a little girl with special needs, but we got along great. Too bad she pissed that away by cheating on me with some 18 yr old kid from her work. Now she's back to the idea that she'll never meet anyone again.

You're much more mentally stable than she was. You'll be just fine!

WTF ...NO POSTS SINCE March 18....cmon Moon-e-sotans ....get with the plan.....MEET TIME ....CALLIN ALL MN CREW!!!!!

 

Sunday 6/25 at 5pm ...any1 interested??

 

Also anyone know a place i can take motorcycle riding courses...i know how to ride vespas LOL....so i'm certain i can pick up fairly quickly...also do i hv to provide my own bike???

Well, you missed the May meet, which had its own thread.

Also, you're calling a meet 2.5 days ahead of time?!

Cool if you guys meet, but I can't make it. I'll be in California this weekend (See Radiohead at Berkeley tomorrow night!)

And the worn driver's seat.

But he also said this! ^^^

The only weak part of the install is "shoving" the wires into the plug on the steering column. These would not stay put! What I did I disconneted the plug, put the wires thru the holes, bent them, so they stay in place to form missing "female" connectors in the plug. After several attempts seems to work, although I am afraid vibratoins or potholes may disconnect them.

I had the same problem at first and pretty much solved the problem the same way. It's been solid ever since. I actually had a loose connection on the back of the stereo. I've just secured everything with electrical tape and that has solved all issues. As Leo said, hot glue would work too. I'd use either one and I think you'll be fine.

So, she looked good from the shoulders up, but she was a fatty?

Jeez Brady...I still have a warranty and am waiting for the stuttering, the HVAC and radio gremlins, and all the other stuff that is supposed to happen, and you want me to f*** with this glitchy electrical system? Just what I need, a perpetual glowing CEL. Sorry, but I am waiting for the final chapter of this story. I have had to reach to the dash to adjust the volume for the past 33 years...I think I can last a few more months.

Quit being a pansy about it!

Actually, I see a very simple solution to this.

You have to cut and splice wires anyway, so the easy solution is to simply splice the control pod back into the wiring and mount the pods behind the dash where they would technically still be functional, but you just won't be able to get at them.

Piece of cake.

You know you want to. (Ok, so you know that *I* want to...)

I see the challenges surrounding the 5EAT cars grows ...

Mark ... Seriously ... This project went from 1 hour to maybe 90 minutes or 2 hours. Mark, get the buttons!

black LGT sedan. battle lake, MN saturday

What were you doing in Battle Lake?!

My family has a cabin on East Battle!

How were the pants afterwards?

Just fine. When I blew my illumination fuse and wasn't sure if I shorted anything else ... THEN I was a little nervous for a bit. Got the fuse in an all was happy again.

If the monkey at Home Depot had given me the right gauge wire, wouldn't have ever been a problem!

Don't tempt me. Others are much farther ahead and we might as well let them continue. Illumination is no big deal as you will quickly get used to what button does what.

 

I need to study the wiring diagrams more. It doesn't make any sense that each model (auto, manual, auto climate, etc) would have a different wiring harness in the steering column...too many variables when you build them. My problem is too many other things demanding my attention...happens as you get older.

Tempt? No...

Get me the parts and I'll have this done in your car in close to an hour. I got the wire, I got the tools, and I have the practice.

Downright easy I tell ya!

Our cruise is so intuitive, why would you need illumination to work it? That's just VW engineering for you ... make another fancy "feature" to fail.

Simplicity of our cruise is just beautiful!

I think that pin 4 on the roll connector is ground for the illumination. I know that if you touch pins 4 and 5 together, you'll sound the horn.

Don't ask how I know this.

I think I've stagnated. At this point, I think I'm just seeing the same cars over and over again.

SWP Wagon on Bass Lake road/ramp to 494 south. Mornings

SWP Sedan on 494 south near 394. Mornings

ABP Sedan on 494 north between 62 and always exiting on 394/12 west bound afternoons

Think I saw Kimmi on 55 heading west from 494 north on Monday (memorial day) afternoon

ABP sedan southbound on Bush lake road afternoons

GRP Sedan (ltd) westbound on Weaver Lake Road evenings

It's craziness anymore

I am up for doign this on a 5AT ..

 

I need to source those pods ... I am also VERY interested in additional 'modes' the stereo can handle.. hands free phone via speakers ??

The other modes you mention would be with another part. In the UK, Subaru sells a bluetooth kit. It probably has a signal it sends to the stereo to mute the call and routes the sound through the speakers. This is another feature that I don't know of anyone in the States who has tried this part. If you use Bluetooth, it's usually easier to just use a headset anyway, IMO.

Saw a Silver Legacy GT Limited Sedan, no spoiler, hitch, and personalized plate I couldn't read at the intersection of ?80th? and Normandale (just in front of the Holiday station.

Who it be?

Yeah no kidding! I need one of you to drive by me just to flash/wave back. I'm getting tired of all this effort and no return!

For a second I thought this was another dating thread!

It wasn't you ... or I'd have yelled at you. Oh ... and Black interior too. Couldn't tell for sure, but I think it was a non-limited. Around 5:30 pm or so.

And saw yamie7000000000 yesterday too.

Brian, We must live not more than 5 miles or so apart. I live just a ways west of Bass Lake Road. Grille looks good.

Damn ... yet ANOTHER ABP LGT sedan today. On 494 north near Hwy 7 I think. No spoiler, male about 40 driving, window down, didn't look over.

Might be the same guy I spotted on Baker a while back.

^^ The Orange/White and Purple/White. Does not matter which as long as the resistance between the two is indicated above when the button is pressed. These wires are on the right side of the stereo, the same side as the volume control.

I don't understand how that works.

Or do you mean, as long as the resistance between the two is correct, it doesn't matter which direction it's set up?

Oh really?!

Man, I wish I had more time to play with this, because I have a head unit just SITTING in my closet that I wouldn't mind setting up to play with some of this stuff.

Nuts.
