No way Takata is responsible for the labor on replacing those. Anyone who's worked in manufacturing can tell you that it's just the part that is covered for warranty coverage. Let's say Manufacturer A designed their cars such that they could access the airbag with two screws and less than a minute of labor, but Manufacturer B way over-engineered the car to be aesthetically pleasing but took 16 hours to fully disassemble and reassemble the interior to do it. No way they're liable for the labor involved with the dash assembly.

The odds of being killed by your airbag are still minuscule. The odds of the airbag saving your life are FAR greater than the the odds of it killing you. This is a classic case of risk aversion bias that people are irrationally freaking out about the airbags. 11 worldwide deaths attributed to the airbags. Certainly more injuries, but it's a very low risk. "UPDATE 4/7/2016, 3:15 p.m.: Honda has reported a death from an airbag rupture in a 2002 Civic under recall. According to KTRK-TV in Houston, 17-year-old Huma Hanif rear-ended another car on March 31 in Richmond, Texas. Although her airbag deployed, investigators determined the crash wasn’t severe enough to kill the teenager. Her throat was lacerated by the airbag inflator and a witness described her collapsing after exiting her car. Hanif is the 11th Takata-related death worldwide, the 10th in the U.S., and the 10th in a Honda." http://blog.caranddriver.com/massive-takata-airbag-recall-everything-you-need-to-know-including-full-list-of-affected-vehicles/

People are still afraid to drive their cars?!

How did you manage to land in a used '05 LGT 11 years ago! They'd barely been on the market 6 months at that point!

Shut up, n00b! (Someone ban him! Quick!)

You can't be serious. There's no way the dealership is going to do any additional work while in there. Especially not for a rattle on a car that's 7-10 years old.

^Shut up n00b and respect your veterans!

Just over 10 years and still have the car. I think I joined the day after I got the car.

This cracked me up! My experience exactly. Good guy and does great work. He definitely takes pride in what he does!

Nope. You have a bad connection somewhere. Based on what you're describing, it's real similar to what I experienced under the steering column with intermittent functionality. I would start there and make sure the wires are securely contacting the harness.

Awesome! I was just about to ask you about that sjm69! Can you tell us what you needed to change?

Hi everyone. I just wanted to share that I learned on accident tonight that you can cut the orange and purple wires and splice them straight in and everything works fine. This was very helpful in allowing me to finally connect these cleanly once and for all. My purple wire broke at the wire tap, so I figured I might as well try it. sjm69 - I have a strong suspicion that the Macintosh system functions entirely differently than the radio we have in the USA. The first thing I think to look into would be if any other models in AUS have the same steering wheel controls with the Macintosh system.

Hi Jazzy, Thanks for emailing me today. I was able to go buy another SNI-1 GLI at a local car audio shop. I tested it before I put it in the radio and confirmed it was good. Once I had it in the car, everything worked beautifully. In fact, when connected to my iPod, amazingly the 3.5mm jack comes through with the same clean volume as the 30 pin connector on the iPod. I haven't yet tested it on my iPhone to see if I see the same results. After my frustration of the last couple days, I'm pretty happy now. I'll email you tomorrow regarding the details.

Thanks Lucid! I really hate to spend more on this since the reason I'm doing this is to get an iPod in my Legacy after I lost my company car when I lost my job and took a huge pay cut, but dammit, this blows! I might suck it up and pay the $20. Still hoping Jazzy helps me out, but he hasn't returned any of my emails over the last week. Fingers crossed.

FML! Definitely a bad GLI. Hooked it up to my home receiver and definitely no good for right hand sound. Can get it to come in and out. Any ideas on a quick fix? Thanks!

<---- NOT F*CKING HAPPY!!!!!! Followed instructions, tested unit before I put all back together. Seemed good. Put radio back togther. Finished install of iPod kit. Went to put everything in, right side keeps cutting out. Go back and disassemble everything. Test it all again, now BOTH sides cut out sound. This f***ing blows. 5 hours wasted tonight. Not sure if I have a bad GLI or something else up. I double and triple checked the ribbon cables. It's definitely when there's any movement in the GLI going into the Headunit that sound cuts in and out. Thoughts?

Placed my order (iPod Pro Kit) last Saturday (4/28/12) and the site told me 2-5 days. Checking the status of my order, it still says "Pending" and I haven't gotten any email reply to the status of my order. Credit card has already cleared funds. Anyone have similar issues with their orders taking a long time to ship?

+1 for SUBA Performance. Sent a friend there with her Saabaru which everyone thought had a head gasket problem. In about 5 minutes they diagnosed a bubble/air pocket in the radiator causing the Thermostat to give false readings. Topped off her radiator (reservoir was ok) and sent her out the door at no charge. She was very impressed with their service.

Ok, I'll be there about 8. Sounds like Brett is going to make his way in shortly thereafter. GG, you still gonna make it? Scotty, it would be great if you could come - I don't think I've seen either you or Brett since Smoke & Bones in June!

Uhh ... hadn't thought of time frame ... 8ish? But open to ideas.

GG - Robusto Room across from the UA theater down in Park Meadows (or behind Rio Grande at Park Meadows). Hope to see you there. Scotty, is that a plan to join us? Nick, congrats on quitting. We'll miss ya just the same. We'll have to get together again soon anyway. Look forward to seeing you then.

Ok, I plan on meeting you at Robusto. Now if we just get some other folks to join us, that would be great! I even planned on having a Cigar this time (been a long time since I had one). Kind of hoping to get Tommypenguin out since he was always down for a cigar.

Dammit boys ... we need a Robusto Meet again! I know I've been MIA for the last couple meets, and that's just been a function of me being busy, but I'm hoping that if we did a Thursday night deal again, I'd be able to make it. It might even give me a reason to pull the Subie out of the garage, but I'll probably just be lazy and rock the Taurus. What say you? Next Thursday the 20th?
