Agreed.

I would also add this;

Seems like some dealers are forgetting to install the grommets underneath the car, which could cause water to get into the interior

I don't know if you guys get the same head units, but mine is doing weird stuff where sometimes the music is really faint, but calls come through loud.. Have to reboot headunit..

Conversely, sometimes the music comes through loud and the calls come through quiet.. same thing - reboot.

Weirdly enough as well, to get music playing, I have to hit 'volume up' on my iphone..

these are all just quirks, mainly with the headunit I think.

Can you add PDI issues dealers might have missed, ie. the two I can think of off the top of my head are:

- Setting the factory headunit to FR-S mode
- Checking that those plugs over the rear struts are installed (EDIT: what Goku said, above this post)

You don't have the speed-based volume adjustment enabled, do you? I turn that shit off as its always doing wacky stuff to the volume that I don't like.

...there is separate volume levels stored for phone and music...

also, unless your audio doesn't come out at all until you reach max volume level on the phone, its normal...the volume used for music on the phones is more often than not controlled by the media volume, which is also shared by speaker volume - when people talk on speakerphone, or watch videos on the phone, they run that volume down to decent levels, and once it reconnects to your car, combined with the cars audio lvl it usually seems low, until you turn it up on the phone.

I have an issue with my paint. There's a weird line on my D/S 1/4 panel that a coworker pointed out. I never even noticed it. Now that he pointed it out, it's driving me nuts. It's not a shadow line either. The only time it's not visible is when there is no direct light on the area.

Are you sure it's not from a sticker that was on when delivered? I have a few of those still on my car. It appears they waxed over these lines on my WRB BRZ.

I have the same... They waxed over mine so I'm hoping when I put my own on after a claybar it will take them up. If it doesn't then I'll be surprised, but we'll see!
