I ended up buying this, which is a cable that interfaces between the stock sat antenna cable and aftermarket sat radio. It isn't cheap, and cost almost $60. Also note that the connector is very...

Stock Sat antenna on BRZ w. aftermarket HU?

I finally pulled the trigger and got a pioneer AVIC-8100NEX, with XM radio/antenna.

But I really want to use the stock BRZ sat antenna because it's on the roof. Unfortunately the BRZ sat antenna...

As to the question about why FM, it's because I like it. I use other stuff (BT, SAT, USB) too. But I've improved the FM sound by about 3x with the new speaker/DSP setup. But before I go and spend...

Go to a flat empty parking lot and see if you can isolate it to being full lock left vs something related to engine load turning. Try full lock in neutral. Does it do the same thing?

I finally started using about 2oz of Lucas ucl in each full tank. Quieted right down. Skip it and it comes right back. Now I just put it in each full tank, even in the winter. Works great for me!

Try Lucas upper cylinder lubricant - about 2 oz per tankful. I won't say that I did it, but I will say that the person who did is VERY happy. Light chirping sometimes, and none other times.

I wouldn't do anything to it other than take it to the dealer for replacement. And FYI it doesn't matter how many miles/years you have on it. I believe seatbelts are lifetime warrantee devices.

I wonder if it is 4 liters. I looked again in the manual and it is not obvious. If anyone finds it, I'd love to know. Of course (if I had a spare gallon) I could add more until it overflows!

Total windshield washer amt?

Ran out of washer fluid today, and bought a gallon to add. Added it, and have no idea what the volume is, since it seems like it could take more.

What's the size??
