  1. Factory stereo in the Prem is a POS. I pulled out all six speakers and replaced with some Rockford Fosgate Punshes, spliced in two LOC's behind the head unit, installed a 1200w 4 channel amp for all the speakers, then installed a 3400w amp for my 15" 2400w Soundqubed sub. It's like going from riding a 1 speed bicycle to a Suzuki Hayabusa. I am not an audiophile but one thing I have noticed (and am wondering if others notice this too) is that the sound is much more 'solid' when I play it through a USB device. If I play sound through an AUX cord or BT it doesn't punch as hard and isn't as solid. Always wondered about this.

     

     

    I haven't upgraded my stereo in the 16 yet (thinking about it) but even with factory, I notice the same thing you have. I can get more bass and overall better sound by using the USB as opposed to the BT. I rarely use the AUX, so I cant comment on that really. I really wish the BT quality was better, as it is what I mainly use for music, but oh well.

  2. Has anyone had luck with this?

    Wanting a push button (doesnt have to be the red STI one) and remote start all in one, this seems like a solid package. Unless anyone knows of a better one.

     

    Also, is there a trim piece for the button location? Really dont want to drill a hole in my dash unless absolutely necessary.

  3. I did the same as upstater mentioned a few posts ago. Tapping into the map lights, the LEDs come on when the door is opened/car is unlocked. While driving, or whenever I want, they can be turned on by pressing the passenger map light (removed the actual light from this side so the map isn't on while the foot wells are on..although you could also just reverse the light so it won't turn on but is still installed). Positive wire is on the drivers side map, and negative is on the passenger.

     

    It took me maybe 2 hours for this install, which included cutting and splicing all the wires and running them through the ceiling and down the door posts/under the dash. It could be done faster but I took extra time to do it right (so I don't have to clean it up later)

     

    I used the same lights from Oznium https://www.oznium.com/super-bright-12v-led-module

     

    They are awesome LEDs and come prewired which makes them super easy to install. I went with blue, as it's my fav color and I just think they look amazing at night. Ordered them on a Wednesday and they arrived Friday afternoon..what a great surprise!

     

    Assuming you already have small wire and some connectors/heat shrink wrap you could do this for around $20 by buying two LEDs. I spent maybe ~$40 as I had to buy wire, connectors, heat shrink etc.

    Either way it's much cheaper than the OEM kit that is over $150 and it's more fun to wire it yourself in my opinion.

     

    Here are a few pics of the finished product, as well as some shots of where the wires are connected to the map lights.
