You can actually stream through the usb. The trick is to get the radio to start playing music normally with it plugged in then switch to the app you want to play through the speakers. You might lose some functionality with the buttons on the stereo and end up having to control through the phone.

Probably better to just use bluetooth with the phone plugged in to charge but thought I'd at least throw that out there.

Are you using an Android phone? Because the manual says that Android phones stream through Bluetooth while iPhones stream via the USB. I use an Android phone and I can play all the MP3 music stored on my phone through the USB controlled by the car's radio, but I can only stream music through Bluetooth. If you don't mind please tell us exactly how you get streaming Android Pandora or similar app to go through the USB port.

Because the car just hit 60mph?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You can stream on iPhone over BT BUUUUUT it's not as loud and not all the signal comes thru (I.e. No bass).

I'm using an iphone, but try turning your bluetooth off. Plug into USB get music playing through USB, then just launch Pandora and get that to start playing. That's what I had to do on another HU to get pandora to load. But again, I've got an iphone

Not every android phone has capabilities to do audio though USB.
What phone do you have?

It's illegal to pump your own gas here - biggest BS law ever, my mom had a $62 bill from Toyota once for her 4Runner because she had to get the engine checked when the maintenance light went on because the idiot at the gas station didn't tighten the cap enough.

We have a different location for the gas cap over here. It's between the frame and trigger on the gas nozzle since most of the self service stations disable the auto-fill lock to prevent dumb people from spilling gas.

The stock exhaust comes with Torsen variable thrust exhaust nozzles. When turning into corners the VCM adjusts exit velocity between the two exhaust nozzles. As you turn into a corner the inside exhaust is closed using a Wankle shutter valve adjusting the exhaust thrust to the outside corner providing cornering assist. The system uses inertial, engine output, gear selection and wheel position sensors to fine tune the thrust vectoring.


Rumor has it that Perrin is working on an aftermarket Torsen variable thrust exhaust system. Until they or some other vendor releases an alternative I'd highly recommend staying with the stock exhaust.

But isn't it more restrictive? The gain from that method the stock exhaust uses probably doesn't match the help you get from an aftermarket exhaust, especially if you go with a full 3" system.

He made all that shit up.
I wasn't being a 4 star general either.

No he isn't. I found a chip inside of the OEM donut gasket, I'm pretty sure that relays the data he is mentioning from the ECU.
