Theres this running joke on the forum, some dude made a thread bashing the platform because "you cant check the brake pads without taking the wheels off" or something stupid like that. So next time someone posts about brakes, reply something cheeky for some laughs. I think the thread was called worst brake design ever.

There is a hair of merit to his claim, brembos and stoptechs you dont have to undo any bolts to swap pads, they're made for racing so pad changes take 1 minute, and you can see the friction material. But anyways.

From the ad, plugs into the USB port where you would normally plug in your phone. Basically its a "wireless" USB wifi connector.

You have to remove two bolts on the Stoptech ST-40 and ST-41's. The ST-42 you have to remove one bolt. It is the AP's that are tool less.

As Dedhawk mentioned. It just a connector. You plug it to the USB port where you use your wired connection. On the other end of the product there is another usb Wheee you can plug your phone and it becomes wired (long trips charging and CarPlay)

Ahhh I was wondering if they plugged it into a separate port behind the headunit or something else.

Installed Verus Engineering GT spec hood louvers originally made for a S550 Mustang. Wasn't too bad. I checked my measurements more than 3 times to make sure everything was symmetrical xD

They look nice but probably aren't a good idea here in Florida with all the rain.
